Hanging sasha clothes....

I have just left a rambling comment on lorraines blog about hanging sasha clothes and when i read it back realised probably that people wouldnt of had a clue what i was on about ! so in the gloom and darkness of today i tried to take some photos to make it clearer....first of all i made some hangers out of thickish wire from a hardware store, you just need some wire clippers then twist the wire into shape....

then i set up some hooks to the bottom of a shelf to make what looks like a washing line, i usually hang the outfits here that ive made but none there today as ive not yet made anything !

i do have lots of clothes in a big box, but this cabinet also comes in handy, its a 16 inch rather elaborate jewellery box (i did plan to paint it to make it look pretty but another project that hasnt been done), i bought it for 50p from a jumble sale and thought it would make a good wardrobe, on the "ceiling" of it there was something for hanging chains which i removed and added a piece of very wonky looking dowling for a hanging rail, there are little slots for shoes in the bottom, the left hand side is for rings but its perfect for hairclips and 3 drawers for socks and undies ....

    Fabulous Sarah, so much better when you also have photos for us to have a look at.

    I had to laugh when I say your little wooden push animals (can't remember what they are called) on top of the 'wardrobe' I have some of those as well!

    What a blast from the past! I had some of those wooden dolls you have standing above your hanging rail. I even sent one ( as a child) to a pen friend that I had in Cornwall.
    I love your little wardrobe but I bet you have way more clothes than can fit in it!

    Thanks for these ideas! I am very interested in finding a solution to the Sasha clothes problem! (I think we all are) Every time my grandchildren come to stay, I have to empty the chest of drawers of Sasha clothes and stuff them into boxes, to make space for the kids. Your solution is a good one and I haven't come across a better one. I just don't have a suitable cupboard. I would love to find a clever carpenter to make a 'portable' Sasha clothes rail (you can get them for adult clothing). I am still looking!

    Love your blog and the wonderful clothes!
