Have you ever had this problem from hanging up your sweaters?

I prefer to hang my sweaters up so that I can see them all at one time. I find it unnecessarily frustrating in the morning to dig through a drawer or wrestle with a pile on a shelf just to find the sweater I want to wear that day. So hanging my sweaters in m the closet makes life a little easier in the morning.
But I don't want to have those bat wing bumps that are created from the hanger if you hang the sweater up like a shirt. A long time ago I read an article in a woman's magazine about how to fold and hang sweaters. I've been hanging my sweater this way for almost 8 years and it works great.
Simply fold your sweater in half with the sleeves together. Then place your hanger upside down on the sweater like in the picture.
Fold the body over the hanger.
Then fold the sleeve over the hanger.
Make sure the sweater is folded with the armpit of the sweater close to the neck of the hanger.
At first this folding will be awkward, but after a couple of tries you'll have no problem at all.
Then hang your sweaters up with like colors grouped together (I use ROY G. BIV order for the colors). It's so much easier to see all your sweaters and select the one you want to wear. No more piles of sweaters falling off the shelf or digging around in the drawer for the sweater you want that is at the bottom of the pile (of course). Everything is right there to see and access. Easy peasey.

ReplyDeleteI have never tried that method. Will have to check it out. I agree with you...life is better when organized isn't it? A never-ending quest :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way you put it, "a never-ending quest." Fortunately, I enjoy the quest. :)
Deletegreat idea!! i ALSO do ROYGBIV in my closet--great minds think alike! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThat's really smart! I'm going to try it. It's way better than leaving the sweaters all over floor, which is what I've been doing up until now. ... Seriously, I'm not always that bad, but hanging them would be better.

:) Confession - right now I have about 4 sweaters thrown on the floor of my closet. I was trying to find one to wear for this cold Halloween night.
