Why do you need covers for clothes?

  • The same applies to outfits made of thin fabrics - chic evening dresses, decorated with beads, stones, ruffles, decorative stripes. For them there are special wardrobe trunks made of thin materials that occupy a minimum of space in the closet.

What are the covers for clothes?

At first glance it may seem that there is nothing special about these things, but this is a mistake, because there are many covers for storing any things for any occasion.

To choose the right model or sew a cover for clothes with your own hands, you first need to decide why you need it:

  1. Travel covers. Their main difference from other models is the availability of special pens. They are intended precisely to put things conveniently in a suitcase or carry them in your hands. The clothes are placed in a case, then neatly folded in half - you get something that resembles a small bag. Their second difference is material.

Important! Such wardrobe trunks are made only from a dense fabric that does not allow moisture and dust to pass through. Therefore, in them things will always be completely safe during the trip.

  1. Covers for storing wardrobe items in the closet. They differ in material and shape, because they are designed specifically for hangers, and have special holes in the upper part, as well as characteristic curved tops under the line of the shoulders.Below, they are usually sewn up, but can be open. Shirts and dresses are stored in flat cases, and lush outfits and outerwear are stored in voluminous trunks.

Important! It is very convenient that almost all of them have transparent polyethylene inserts, so you do not need to unfasten them constantly and look for the necessary things.

  1. There are cheaper options for non-woven covers and more expensive ones made of durable polyester. Here, everyone chooses what he needs. For example:
    • to keep at home seasonal things enough and non-woven;
    • expensive items, of course, are best transported in polyester wardrobe trunks.

Important! If the first place is to save free space in the cabinet, then you can buy vacuum covers.

Can I sew a cover for clothes on my own?

Of course yes! The main thing is to find a suitable template or sew a cover according to the example of your existing home. In fact, everything is extremely simple:

  • It is necessary to remove the pattern from the shoulders of the desired size, add on each side about seven centimeters.
  • If you plan to sew a cover for storing only one thing, then the front and back parts just need to be sewn together.
  • But if you want to place several wardrobe items in it at once, you will have to insert a separation part along all sides of such a width that two or three things fit in the case. Accordingly - at the top you will need to make more holes through which the hooks of the hangers will pass. The front part will look like a valve through which clothes will be placed inside. For greater convenience, this hole is made vertical, and then it is closed with buttons or ties.

Important! Sewing such things is better from materials that are easy to iron and wash, and it is desirable that their color is in harmony with the style of the dressing room or bedroom. The perfect choice is a carefully washed linen cotton fabric.

  1. Download and print the template. Note that you need to print it while maintaining all sizes, without increasing or decreasing anything.
  2. Cut out a solid line pattern.
  3. We compose all parts of the template into one. We attach to the fabric and cut two pieces from the front and lining fabric.
  4. We combine a piece of the lining with the front part along the lower long edge (down with the front sides), stitch it, making an allowance of 1.25 centimeters.
  5. Iron all seams. We do the same with the second piece of facial tissue and lining.
  6. We turn the lining so that the front and lining fabrics come together on the wrong sides. And so we continue to turn the lining until the front material begins to be visible. We iron everything thoroughly.
  7. Make sure that only the front fabric is visible at the bottom of the cover.
  8. We open the workpiece, combine them with the front sides with each other, carefully align everything.
  9. We fasten the blanks with pins and flash them with an allowance of 1.25 centimeters, while leaving a small space un sewn.
  10. Cut the edges of the workpiece so as not to touch the seams.
  11. Carefully pull and turn the workpiece through the hole that we left unstitched.
  12. As a result, we get a bag with a hole on the lining and front side.
  13. We bend the edges of the raw holes, iron with a iron. Combine the holes in both parts and iron again.
  14. We sew on the machine as close as possible to the edge hole, capturing all layers of fabric.
  15. We put the workpiece on the ironing board and gently iron it.
  16. We measure 7 centimeters from the edge of the resulting workpiece and draw a line with a pencil or chalk.
  17. We fasten the tape along the line with pins and sew it in the middle. From the remaining pieces of tape we make a bow and sew to the cover.

Our case is ready! Now he will be able to decorate your dressing room or wardrobe.
