After we started to use fitted sheets for our beds we had lots of regular flat sheets left over and I decided to repurpose them and among other new uses I've made some into garment protectors.
We don't have huge amount of closet space in our house so the seldomly used garments (like Martin's tux and tails) are hung underneath the stairs to the basement.
This is a simple sewing project. Lay two sheets on top of each other(or fold one), use a hanger as a guideline to outline the top of the protector with a pencil (making sure to add for seam allowance) and then add as much as you need in length. Don't bother about the hole for the hanger just yet. Cut and simply stitch along your outline. Zig zag and hem the bottom.
Get a grommet which is big enough for the hanger to pass through, punch and insert according to package and you're all set. One garment protector at your service!

I got a really good start on taking photos for my book today (bought a tripod last week as the light is still poor) so I'll probably continue shooting this weekend and doing some writing too. I can see it all coming together. Quite exciting! I hope your weekend will be exciting too!
