Multipurpose Clothespin Hanger

Step 10 Putting Hanger on Clothesline

While holding the hanger with the right hand and with the top of the hanger above the level of the clothesline itself, pass the elastic (knot at the top) over and behind the clothesline. Use the left hand to grab the knotted end that has been passed over the clothesline. Carefully lower the hanger so that the top is now below the clothesline (you will will now be stretching the elastic somewhat). Slip the tip of the hanger through the elastic loop just above the knot. When you release the tension, the top of the hanger will fall a bit below the clothesline itself, allowing a degree of "free swing" in the wind. To keep it from sliding too close to other things on the clothesline, place a clothespin on that side, close to the elastic (it will tend to slip in that direction).

Very cool! I don't yet know how to sew on a machine - just basic stuff with a needle and thread. Will it hold up if I did it by hand? This would make an excellent baby gift for a friend's birthday.
