well, it looks like little miss Gremlin is going to have lots of "outfits" - pants and tops, skirt and top, dress and little top/pants to go with it. we dont have a lot of room for drawers and things (think the drawers we do have will mostly be full of nappy stuff and sleep suits/basic clothes!), so i'm thinking most of her clothes will by hung up
and that's where my question starts - HOW do you hang baby outfits together. we looked at coat hangers today at target - they had the normal little plastic hangers that have like hooks on the bottom which i'm guessing is for hanging pants that have loops on them - but what about the ones that don't? my mum suggested using the same HUGE silver pants hangers we use, but i'm not wanting to do that! way too bulky for a little pair of duds!
so what do YOU do? is it likely all her little pants and skirts will have the loops so the first hangers are enough? have you found a little kidlet alternative that you use
BG go to Ikea (or Kmart, Storage world etc) and have a look at the hanging storage. It means you can just fold things but it uses the whole space from the rail to the floor - we don't hang anything andI VERY rarely iron!!! Use a mix of shoe hanger for little things and you can get big ones too!!!
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....
What do YOU do??
