<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Last winter we relocated our hanging textile storage and made about 3 dozen garment bags and padded hangers as part of a Collections Management MAP project.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">We made two different styles (and several different lengths) based on the patterns in the CCI Notes 13/5 (Canadian Conservation Institute). We bought a wide
bolt of unbleached cotton online through amazon. (When applying I had negotiated a discount price from our local Fabricland, but it went out of business before we were approved to implement. I was a little concerned about getting the correct weight through
an online order but it proved satisfactory. You probably have more options for fabric shopping than we do in the hinterland!)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"> The garment bags are relatively speedy/easy to make and I have done it at other sites with a volunteer sewing team. We also used the unbleached cotton to make
the padded hangers which are described in the same note, but they are a little more time consuming. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">We wanted the bags for dust protection, but also to reduce the exposure to light since we were moving the textiles to a rolling shelf unit in an area where the
ceiling lights are on quite frequently. We pin photos of the contents of each bag in a photo sleeve to the outside of each bag .<o:p></o:p></span></p>
