Coat hanger cover - my attempt at craft

When I was younger I was really interested in sewing with my Grandmother (my Mum's Mother) and then my passion turned to cooking when I realised I wasn't skilled in the needle & thread area. Fastforward 24 years on and I am really interested in attempting this coat hanger cover that appears in the July 2006 issue of Notebook: magazine. It looks easy enough and they even supply a patter (pdf file). Give me two weeks and I'll be back with what happens.
