Instructions<br />
1. To make a pattern place the <strong>coat</strong> <strong>hanger</strong> onto piece of paper and trace around<br />
the edge. Add 2cm* along the top angled sides of <strong>hanger</strong> and 10cm straight along<br />
the base. Cut out paper pattern. * Add 3cm if cover is to go over thick garments.<br />
2. Using paper pattern cut out two pieces of fabric.<br />
3. With right sides facing, pin and sew the sides and top curved edges together<br />
using a 1.5cm seam allowance leaving a 1cm opening in the stitching at the top<br />
of the cover (for the <strong>hanger</strong> to go through) and leaving the straight base edges<br />
open.<br />
4. Press seams open. Press up 5mm along bottom edge then a further 1cm. Turn<br />
right side out and press.<br />
5. Pin rickrack or pompom trim to the underside of pressed hem. Stitch the hem<br />
and trim in place, 5mm in from pressed bottom edge.<br />
For contrast band cover<br />
1. Repeat step one of cover but only add on 3cm along the base of <strong>hanger</strong> template.<br />
2. Continue with steps 2 and 3. Press seams open, turn right way out and press.<br />
3. Cut two pieces of fabric for the contrast band, the width of the template x 8cm<br />
high.<br />
4. With right sides together, sew short ends together to make a fabric loop. Press<br />
seams open and turn right way out. Press band in half lengthways.<br />
5. Place contrast band over the bottom edge of cover, with raw edges aligned.<br />
