Sewing patchwork quilts is quite easya technique that is accessible even to beginner craftswomen. In addition, the material for making such blankets can be easily found in every closet. You can use old shirts, jeans, sweaters, dresses, skirts that have worn out and become unusable. Do not rush to throw away things that you will no longer wear. After all, with their help you can create an exclusive thing that cannot be found in any store.
With our detailed instructions,provided below, you will be able to create a unique, creative thing that will decorate the interior of your bedroom and will warm you on winter nights. Step 1. Selection of material. The exclusive feature of our blanket is the special treatment of the seams. The outer sides are treated with a zigzag stitch. The production of patchwork elements is carried out separately, and then they are attached in a prepared form. To sew this blanket, you need to have: - 3 meters of fabric 150 cm wide in different colors; - 1.5 synthetic padding to insulate the blanket; - 0.5 meters of fabric for edging. In addition, to achieve the patchwork effect (patchwork sewing), fabrics of different colors and textures are needed. It is not necessary to buy all this in the store, you can just tidy up your closet and use the clothes that have become unusable or are too small for you. As for the padding polyester, if you want a warm blanket, it is best to buy a three-layer padding polyester, but if you want to use the blanket in the summer as a plaid, it is recommended to buy a single-layer material. Flannel, wool or knitwear can also be used as insulation. Your choice depends on how warm you want the blanket to be. Strips left over from cutting suits, trousers, dresses and other clothing can be used as a sewing strip.
Step 2. Sewing a patchwork quilt. Sewing a quilt consists of: - cutting the fabric; - assembling the patchwork elements; - sewing on the fastening tape; - connecting the entire product.
First of all, you need to cut out the fabric.Determine the size of the squares yourself and take into account the gaps for the seams, which will be the highlight of the final product. After you have cut out the fabric, you should have 1 square of padding polyester or other insulation and 2 pieces of fabric. The size of the padding polyester square should be 1 cm smaller than the size of the fabric on each side. When the squares are ready, fold all 3 parts together (1 padding polyester and 2 fabric) and stitch on a sewing machine. Then, along the edges of each square, you need to stitch the fastening tape connecting the patches. To attach the tape, you should put the tape end-to-end with the edge of one square, and then sew it on. Next, you need to turn the tape back and attach it to the 2nd square. Stitch on a sewing machine. After doing this, carefully iron the blanket. After that, process the edge of each of the squares with a zigzag stitch. At the end, sew a plain fabric on the other side of the blanket and trim all edges with tape.
This completes your product!
