You will need:
1. clothes hanger (I used a toddler size)
2. a nice size piece of fabric (about a 3ft. x3ft. square)
3. thread
4. some ribbon or a strip of scrap fabric, 2ft or so.
5. optional, snap or button
tools:
1. sewing machine (or needle if going old school)
2. scissors
3. pencil or marker
2. Place the hanger in the corner of the triangle (fold at the bottom) making sure the "shoulder" of the hanger is on the fabric with about a quarter to a half inch space between the shoulder and edge, and making sure the bottom of the hanger is horizontal to the fold.
3. Use a marker or pencil to trace the shoulders of the hanger. Draw lines from the end of the shoulders down to the fold as pictured above. Also, mark where the hanger hook falls along the shoulder so you can create a hole near the top for it to fit through.
5. Cut along the fold to separate the pieces.
6. Trace an object such as a bowl or a glass (large enough for you to fit your hand through) an inch below the hanger bottom in the center of one side of the fabric.
8. Cut out the circle you traced to create the hole.
13. Sew the bottom on.
15. Turn the bag inside out.
16. Place the hanger into the hole and the hook up through the hole your created in the top. This can take some creative finagling but you will get it! Worse comes to worse and you really can't get it in, you may have to try a smaller hanger or cut a seam, put the hanger in, and then re-sew it shut.
17. Optional: I added a little snap to mine to hold the hanger in place. You could use a button, some string, or some velcro or a safety pin- you could probably get by with nothing at all, but it's something I chose to do!
