Upgrade little by little

A combined effort to recover some hangers AND use some of the donated ribbon in my overflowing haberdashery box.

After removing the old fabric cover, but saving the foam padding which was in good condition, I discovered the hanger bit unscrews.

I used the old fabric as a pattern for the new and sewed a tube with a button hole where the hanger would screw back in.

The ends of the tube were hand stitched closed and the butterfly chain ribbon hand stitched around, including covering the button hole.

Not easy to line up the screw hole for the hanger but a satisfying little job.

And the quickest of all. Just tacked the ribbon in place
