Padded Clothes Hangers

My friends at Yayasan Senang Hati have already made some lace items for themselves (a small handbag, a scarf), so this was a VERY easy project - padded clothes hangers for displaying hand-knit tops. I provided plastic hangers, foam padding, and cotton yarn. They provided the labor.



Here is Omang, sewing the knitted strip around the foam and onto the hanger.

And Ketut showing a lace-bordered top that I made for myself, on one of her padded hangers!

All of these items are made with cotton yarn purchased locally (manufactured in Surabaya on Java, I think).

And I call this "Let's Salsa!" - a 3-piece set of ruffled skirt, skinny-strap top, and lace poncho - with "gold" beads just-because.
