Adult Victorian Hanger Covers
Adult Victorian Hanger Covers
If you’re like me, I just love these Adult Victorian Hanger Covers that look pretty in my cupboard. These hanger covers fit a hanger 16 1/4 inches in length. Another great thing about covered hangers is that it prevents your clothing from snagging and pulling threads. They are easy to create and kwik to put together. They also make ideal gifts. If you want a padded cover, just add a layer of thin batting under the fabric when stitching.
