have you thought about padded coathangers?

I have. They're like buying the perfect shoe.
Doesn't exist when you go shopping but proliferate like mad when you're not looking.
In my blog description i talk about textiles and i havent.
Talked about anything to do with textiles yet.
However: padded coathangers have been weighing (for you regulars you know i had to sneak that one in) heavily on my mind.
Still 2 days to inaugural weigh in.
I've been shopping the traditional way. Lots of petrol, shoe leather but no perfect padded hanger. Lots of dud and icky ones.silk fabric
I've done the research and i've come up with one company in the UK and there's a how to...make a padded coathanger.
But you know; they're not what i'd call a Bentley model.
Smooth as and beautifully padded so that every aspect is perfectly curved. And then the spaghetti strap holder upper bit, plus one for trousers to avoid the knee crease.
I want groovy, gorgeous fabrics in the finest of cotton and little bobbles on some to act as strap holders.
None to be had. And this has finally forced my hand. The workroom is now being organised. Mike the builder has appeared at least twice - due back who knows when - in the way of builders and the like. We are putting up vertical beams so that i can have rows of fabric strung through dowelling rods which should look pretty snazzy and very, very textile-ish. I've sorted ALL the patterns into sections. Hung the pegboard and carefully unravelled all the cottons.
And when all of this is done i will set to and attempt to make the perfect padded coathanger.
In the meantime i'm looking for fabrics. Do you know How HARD it is to find agents/wholesalers and the like to speak to you? they have a little club and i don't have a ticket.
Totally frustrating.
