I struggled with this but got there eventually! First I think my fabric was too thick as it puckered round the armholes when turning the right side out. I had to press it several times. Also if you use a patterned fabric I would struggle to know which side up to put the plain piece. I had to use a denim needle to sew the bottom of the hanger together due to the layers of fabric. Now it's finished it looks lovely but I will definately use a finer fabric next time!
Lilo, these are great instructions! I am getting ready to make this myself and have one small question. At 21:15 you make a sandwich of the three layers, starting first with the back piece that has no belt attached to it, the front piece that has the apron and the bias binding around the neck, and lastly, the back piece that has a belt attached to it. I think you laid down the layers of the sandwich in this order before stitching up the sides, but wondered if you could please clarify: (1) back piece (no belt attached to it) is laid down RIGHT side up; (2) front piece is laid down RIGHT side up; and (3) back piece (with belt attached to it) is laid down WRONG side up. Is this correct? Thank you!

I went ahead and made one of the clothespin bags and stacked the layers the way I described above and it worked just fine.
