Ernestine's Hanger Covers
Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Today we are stitching up something that is very 

sentimental to me.

Ernestine, My Mother In Law, was very crafty and 

showed me how to make these Hanger covers over 

40 years ago.

I have some of her patterns written in her handwriting, 

but couldn't find this one. Well, That is, until we moved

 and I found some more of her crafty things that were given

 to me after she passed.

These 2 hangers she made for me as wedding gifts.

The Blue one for something blue, and the white and

 peach one carried my wedding dress to the church.

My colors for my wedding were white and peach.

You can see They are quite worn, as my wedding dress was

 still hanging on this hanger.

I wanted to share with you what she showed and taught

 me, because these hanger covers are very useful. 

They keep your dresses and blouses from falling 

off the hanger. And you can hang scarves, ties, belts

 of even wraps through the slots of the hangers.

An they are also very pretty and make wonderful gifts.
