Throwing away a good fabric is an unacceptable waste , especially if the fabric is good and beautiful , and a lot of pieces have accumulated. Check out this wonderful idea for sensibly consuming leftover fabric - a delightful patchwork quilt that will serve you faithfully for years to come!
To sew a patchwork blanket , you need to calculate the dimensions in advance , draw a diagram of the future blanket and the location of the pieces of fabric. Whether it will be squares or rectangles , whether you lay them out in bricks or in a simple checkerboard pattern - all these details depend solely on your imagination and desire. In addition to pieces of fabric , which in this master class the craftswoman used 200 pieces , you will need a piece of fabric for the reverse side , as well as insulation and inlay.
All work will be carried out on a sewing machine.
We have a piece of fabric face down , lay the insulation on top. At the top, we lay out the pieces of fabric in the right order: for example , in a checkerboard pattern.
We connect all the pieces with an inlay , basting simple stitches with a hand.
On a typewriter, we sew the pieces together with a simple line , connecting them together with a heater and fabric.
To decorate the edge, we use an inlay and a piece of fabric for the second side.
We iron , fold the edges and sew on a typewriter.
The result is a delightful , beautiful handmade patchwork blanket !
