These are great gifts! I add buttons on either side at the point where the hanger has a prong for straps. Buttons can be stacked to ensure a secure place for straps, which helps prevent clothing from falling off. Also the buttons are a good place to put the ribbons in clothing that help to keep clothing in place on the hanger. To make it fancy, I sometimes make fabric covered buttons to match. A stash of mis-matched plastic buttons can be stacked and covered with fabric to be used in this way.
Yes, would you please consider showing how to make one with a pocket & zipper? It would make a super cute hanger cover for protecting personal items like a ring or passport. Thank you Tim! Your video was fun to watch. 😊
@@timothytotten9409 Hi Tim, thanks for the personal reply. You were up early! No, I haven't found your future video list yet. I'll look for it. Sounds fun. On a similar note...I've made several infinity scarves. It's such a fun & rewarding project. All but one were minkee fabric which is hard to find where I live, but one with flannel which gives a unique feel & look. I've asked 2 different quilt stores if they'd offer a class on infinity scarves with how to put in a secret pocket with a zipper. No response. I think they'd have a lot of interest if smaller projects were sometimes offered. Would you be interested in possibly doing a video about that as well? Just an idea. Thanks.
Great question! Some machines have a feature that lets you stop the needle either in the up or down position when you let off the pedal. But not everyone has a machine with the capability, so I should probably explain each time.
It allows you to make sure both pieces of fabric are aligned & not move when checking. Also you can pivot the fabric with the needle down position & then it doesn't pull on the stitching. 😊
