Hi BG, i found with any clothes under size 1, the easiest option was to have them all in drawers.. but if thats not an option.. how about folding the pants over the bottom of a normal hanger.. KWIM? like fold them in half, and then just hang them over. (when i say normal hanger, obviously i mean baby ones. the reject shop have gorgeous plasic kids hangers for like $1.50 per pack )
ETA: just read nelly's post... duh i have one of those hanging storage things! i dont know why i didnt suggest that! lol
Rach, the only little kid hangers i've seen have been the fancy little ones in target and big w (same as what mum had when i was a kidlet!) - i've not seen any simple ones - are the ones you're talking about like adult hangers - basically a little triangle with a rail right across the bottom to hang more stuff on? i used to do that with my clothes, but have never seen teeny weeny ones!
drawers aren't really an option as they'd have to be put in the bottom of the built in robe (not a huge room so don't want it cluttered) and for now, toy boxes will go down there - she has got LOTS of stuff already!
I bought some $4 stoage boxes with out lids from Kmart, put labels on the front of them and use them as 'draws' in my kids built ins babe.
So now Vy has a draw full of skirts, one with t-shrits, one with PJ's ect...as for hanging space..I also bought some timber pants hangers from the regect shop, 3 for $2 and the pants go on the bottom and the hanger is still little enough to put the matching top ect on over the top....I can send you one in your parcel babe so you can have a look if you like
we has a reject shop nearby Maz - might go have a look at those ones
i'm definitely someone that prefers clothes to be hung up (it's easier to send DH to grab an outfit that is hanging up as opposed to sending him to raid numerous drawers looking for matching bits!) - if they are little enough for a teeny bubbas stuff, might have to get mum to go shopping for gremlin....
thanks for the suggestion Christy - i'm just not sure about folding stuff and still keeping it together kwim? DH is a shocker at matching stuff, which would drive me insane!
I fold alot of MAckenzie's skirts and pants over hangers - well more the pants. ALso I don't worry too much about keeping them as groups - they end up being worn in all sorts of combinations!
So is mine!! When they are under 1, I generally fold them together, so they are matching. I had a box for socks and a box for hats and a box for singlets and then matching cool weather and matching warm weather... I tried to make it easy for DH, but even then Jovie would have blue socks, purple singlet, and he would somehow undo the matching set and have red pants and a pink top we call them Daddy dress ups here....
i have just had a FANTASTIC BB member ping me on msn that she has heaps of brand new ones that i can buy - both for tops and pants - gotta love such an awesome community! love love love it! problem solved!
I brought fancy ones and MIL got me some of the plastic triangle ones from a $2 shop..... But i found that it was easier to keep the pant hangers that i got when i brought stuff.... (you know the black ones with the plastic clamp type things???)
