Making a Sasha Bedroom - The Bed - Part 2...
14 December 2010
After much thought...
I measured the hook on the clothes hanger to see what gap would be needed between the bed platform and the clothes rail...
Then I looked at the eye parts of my hooks and eyes. Initially I thought of using the hooks but when the dowelling fitted through the eye part perfectly, I thought it would be the better choice.
By screwing the eyes in but not completely I was able to have the correct space for the clothes hangers... I used three hooks so that the dowelling wouldn't sag in the middle with the weight of the clothes.
I hung up a few dresses to see how they would look. I was wondering how best to put shoes underneath and decided that some of the miniature plastic crates would work perfectly for this purpose. Either that of the shoes could be a jumbled mess underneath the dresses which would probably be closer to my own method of shoe care as a child...
Sasha took a look to see how her dresses looked hanging up... allows me to see that the rail and wardrobe area is in a nice proportion to her...
She is wearing a sweater that I finished knitting a while ago but only recently sewed the seams. It is reminiscent of the beautiful sweaters designed by Kaffe Fassett.
