- While I was looking for a suitable fabric for a
- hanger-cover for my own grandma (I didn't think
- the spiky texture of the rope quite suited the
- overall floral texture and delicate pink tones
- of her usual attire, though I've always thought
- there was a traditional, sturdy, country goodness
- about a neatly tied noose) I came across a pink
- seersucker with little yellow daisies that went
- beautifully wih the collars of most of the dresses
- she wears this time of year. She always said she
- wanted to look dignified when it came to the end.
-
- Would whoever posts the instructions for that hanger-
- cover please give some hints on making neat seams
- around a heavy rope.
