Patchwork
Products made in the style of patchwork immediately transform the room. A playful, comfortable, positive atmosphere appears in it. Intricate shreds sewn into a single composition, often made the beds of girls and boys. The creation process can be divided into stages:
- Design project ─ first you need to develop a design for the future of shreds. You can use ready-made options, or you can create your own project;
- To prepare the details ─ it is necessary to show excessive accuracy and accuracy in the calculations and preparation of parts. They can be square, rhombuses, rectangular or have other shapes, as well as plain or color;
- Stapling parts ─ Patience, pins, and iron are required to complete this step. Parts are stitched strictly according to the submitted product sketch;
- To iron the received front part of the bedspread;
- Stitch the front side to the insulation, fleece, synthetic winterizer, dense material or other selected fabric;
- Stitch the resulting double layer to the main lower canvas;
- Finishing ─ you can use edging or other finishing material.
A veil in the patchwork technique with your own hands can be performed even by a novice craftswoman. The main thing is the ability to use a sewing machine.
With puffs
The puff bedspread is a luxurious item. Only an experienced needlewoman who is able to perform delicate and painstaking work will sew it. Puffs are folds that are obtained using traced lines on the fabric. In designated places, stitches are sewn, which are then pulled together. The result is interesting wrinkle solutions on the material. Stages of work:
- The choice of material ─ the cover with puffs looks chic from satin, silk or other smooth, shiny fabrics. They are easily draped, and folds on shiny material have a luxurious look;
- Choosing a buffer pattern ─ from a large number of buffers, you need to choose your own;
- Calculation of material ─ in order to carry out a cover with puffs, it is necessary to determine the amount of material. To do this, take the size of the fabric (50x50 mm, 100x100 mm) and perform puffs, filling them with all the material. Then make a second measurement and calculate the reduction ratio. It will be needed to determine the amount of tissue on the bedspread;
- Prepare facial and lining tissue;
- From the wrong side, apply a pattern of puffs with the direction of stitches on the main fabric;
- To sew stitches according to the intended patterns;
- Pull off puffs;
- Fold the main and lining fabric with the wrong sides inward, and drain the extreme sections;
- To make the edge of the bedspread flounces, ruffles or frills.
A craftswoman with minimal sewing experience is recommended to start with simple products. The best material would be medium density cotton.
Quilted
A quilted bedspread with a padding polyester and lining material will decorate the room and will suit any style. For sewing bedspreads on the bed, it is better to use satin or silk material. In work, you need to be careful and attentive. Work Stages:
- Determine the size of the bedspread ─ to do this, measure the width, length of the berth, and also the height of the frill, taking into account the increase;
- Determine the size of cells or rhombuses. You need to remember ─ the finer the pattern, the more fabric will go to the product. Therefore, you need to make an extra increase in material on all sides of the cover by 5-10 cm. Extra allowances can always be cut to the desired size of the product;
- With stitch stitches, go along all the outlined lines, since the chalk will be erased, and it is undesirable to use a pencil for expensive and delicate fabrics;
- A line is laid next to basting seams;
- Finishing seams at the intersection should not form an “influx” of material. Lay the stitch only once. For example, the atlas does not tolerate repeated stitching, as punctures from the needle will be visible on the material after the dissolution of the stitch;
- Quilting the bedspread ─ on the assembled and quilted product, the final marking of the bedspread is performed, which depends on the processing of the slices. For example, the edge can be made with a seam in a hem, oblique trim, frills or folds;
- Cut strip for frill. It is sewn separately in the form of a skirt. If the finish is with folds, then you need to calculate their depth and the length of the entire frill. For example, if the length of the frill is 8 m 40 cm, then to the depth of the folds, with a width of 3 cm, you need to add 2 m 80 cm. Then sew to the bedspread. The slice can be swept overlock or processed oblique inlay;
- With a frill, the product will have a finished look.
A sewing product can be ordered in the atelier, but a do-it-yourself blanket will become the pride of every needlewoman.
Spokes
Every housewife wants her sleeping place to be beautiful and bring comfort and warmth. A knitted blanket that can be knitted or crocheted meets these requirements. The product can be made with a continuous web or from separate fragments, which are then combined into a single composition.
- Solid fabric ─ for the manufacture of bedspreads, you can use woolen or synthetic threads of different colors. Knitting should begin with a sample that will help make the correct calculation of the number of loops and rows for the bedspread. You just need to decide on the knitting pattern. To do this, dial 40-50 loops and knit at least 15 cm. Then, horizontally attach a ruler and calculate how many 10 cm of loops and how many are 1 cm. For example, if the width of the bed is 190 cm, and in the sample the calculation shows that in 1 cm 2.5 loops, then you need to dial 475 loops. The number of rows depends on the length of the berth. Then vertically attach a ruler and count the rows already. It will become clear how many loops need to be dialed to the width of the bed;
- The square "scarf" ─ the size of the square depends on the desire of the craftswoman. First you need to perform a sample, make the calculation of loops and rows. Decide on the size of the square.
Knitting pattern shawl:
- Dial 35 loops;
- 1 row: knit facial loops;
- 2 row: knit the wrong loops;
- 3 row: repeat the pattern from 1 row.
The square will be 12x12 cm. If the bed has a size of 190x200 cm, then for the bedspread you will need to knit 272 squares. A square knitted with a garter stitch is the easiest type of knitting. When you connect squares knitted with needles of different colors into a single fabric, you get a beautiful product.
Crochet
Crochet patterns, which are many in the information field, will help determine the choice of product. Often, craftswomen use the technique of the fabulous "grandmother's square." Work begins with a set of air loops (VP) from the center in a circle, and then with the help of lifting loops alternate columns with a crochet (MF) and VP. Simple motifs make the product very picturesque.
Knitting pattern for the fabulous "grandmother's square":
- Dial 4 VPs, connect into the ring using a half-column;
- Make 3 lifting VP, 2 SSN, dial 3 VP;
- Repeat 3 times “3 CCH + 3 VP”;
- At the beginning of the row, find 3 loops and make a connecting loop in it;
- The first row is the repetition of paragraphs 2-4;
- Gain 3 VP climb (this is done at the beginning of each row);
- Decide on the angle of the square. Run a cycle ─ 3 CCH + 3 VP + 3 CCH;
- The side of the square is 3 CCH under the VP of the lower row + 2 VP.
The following rows are knitted according to this pattern. CCHs are made in the hole between the CCH loops of the previous row. The square fits to the desired size. Having finished knitting, the edges of the squares can be tied with a contrasting thread. The number of motives depends on the size of the product. There are several ways to combine motives. The simplest is a “buttonhole”.
How much fabric do you need
Today, the textile industry produces a wide range of fabrics for bedspreads. They have a different texture, width, density of interweaving of threads.
Of the variety, the most popular types can be distinguished:
- Fur ─ bedspreads made of natural and artificial material. Models are not suitable for every interior. They require special care. Sewing bedspreads video can be viewed on the Internet;
- Wool ─ from natural wool, the cover turns out to be thin and warm;
- Silk ─ luxurious and airy bedspreads are suitable for classic, oriental, modern style;
- Cotton ─ natural fabric is more often used for children's bedrooms;
- Jacquard ─ fabric used for bedrooms with plain walls. A tight weave of threads makes the product dense and very beautiful;
- Velvet ─ material can be smooth or have a printed pattern. Products made of velvet always have a luxurious and presentable appearance;
- Atlas ─ a product from this fabric will give the bedroom brightness and personality.
The consumption of fabric is determined not only by the size of the bed, but also by the technique of the product and its decoration.
For quilted need:
- Atlas;
- Non-woven;
- Lower panel;
- Lining.
Suppose a standard double bed has a width of 136 cm. With a fabric width of 150 cm, one length of fabric will be needed, plus increments in the processing of cuts of 3-5 cm. An influx of stitches can occur during stitches.And the volume of interlining needs extra centimeters. In total, a quilted coverlet will need 215 cm on the front side. The same fabric size needs to be prepared on the bottom panel and lining. For a 40 cm wide frill, you need to multiply the perimeter of the bedspread by 2.5. Get the length of the frill.
For a patchwork bedspread measuring 220x240 cm, with a square of 13x13 cm, you need:
- 220: 13 = 16, 9 (17 pcs) ─ in width;
- 240: 13 = 18, 4 (19 pcs) ─ in length.
Total, 17x19 = 323 square flaps. If the width of the fabric is 110 cm, then 63 squares per 1 m² of fabric. When cutting, it is important not to forget to put aside allowances for seams 1-1.5 cm. For internal filling, non-woven and internal material of the same size, as well as lining fabric, are measured. If drapery fabrics are used for the basis of bedspreads with puffs, then their consumption does not change much. For the sewing of bedspreads 220x240 cm, you need fabrics:
- 220x2.5 = 550 cm;
- 240x2.5 = 600 cm.
Necessary tools and equipment
Standard set of tools and equipment:
- Sewing machine;
- Overlock;
- Tape measure;
- Needles;
- Thimble;
- Sewing pins;
- Scissors;
- Iron;
- Ironing board;
- Threads;
- Chalk or textile felt-tip pen.
Some fabrics do not like re-stitching or dissolving stitches. The success of the work depends on the correct selection of machine and hand needles. For sewing bedspreads use from No. 75 to No. 110. The needle number depends on the structure and density of the material. The blanket looks very neat if the slices are processed with an overlock. It can be household and industrial. Processing can be performed on any fabric ─ satin, silk, tapestry, jacquard, wool, as well as knitted material. If there is no overlock, you can use the presser foot or presser foot that comes with the sewing machine. Here, perhaps, is the whole list of what is needed for sewing a product.
Printed fabric will add complexity to the work. It is better to use plain material.
Master Class
How to sew a bedspread, for example, a quilted bed, with your own hands?
You can order sewing quilted bedspreads in the studio, but the cost of work will be very high, if you still count all the material that is needed for the product. Therefore, many housewives are not afraid to do this job at home. The main thing is to be able to handle a sewing machine.
Pattern drawing
Before starting work, you need to take measurements of the bed and determine the size of the bedspreads. In our version, a bed with a headboard, so the frill will go from three sides:
- The appearance of the bed;
- Bedspread drawing;
- Bedspread pattern.
Cut
Before starting work, you need to decide what the quilted bedspread will be. The master class, which is presented in this section, should help with the choice of style. For the manufacture of products we use taffeta. Additionally, you need to stock up with padding polyester and lining fabric. On the bottom layer choose an inexpensive fabric. Taffeta is slippery material, so you need to be careful when working. The fabric is released in widths from 1.5 m to 2.8 m. If the bed has a width of 1.6 m, then it is better to take fabric 2.8 m wide, the rest will go to frills. The length of the frills is (2.0 + 2.0 + 1.6) x1.5 = 8.4 m. Cutting should be done on a flat plane. The size of synthetic winterizer and lining fabric are equal to the front side of the bedspread.
Sewing
Before sewing the bedspreads, you need to determine the pattern that will adorn the visible surface of the product. We sew the basis for patterns. To do this, we duplicate the facial tissue with a thin synthetic winterizer or non-woven and sew the base. To get a stitch pattern, as in the photo you need:
- Take a sheet of paper and make a circle Ø15 cm;
- Fold the circle in half, and then another half in half. Get 4 parts (sectors);
- Expand the circle. We see that he has 4 sectors (1, 2, 3, 4);
- In the places of the bend we draw lines with a pencil;
- Through the central angles of sectors 1 and 3, draw a line (diameter) so that it divides the sectors strictly in half;
- In sector 1, from the point of intersection of the line (diameter) and with the outer point of the circle, draw inward (to the center of the circle) R = 5 cm. (R ─ radius);
- In sector 3 (opposite sector 1) we do the same;
- Cut out (concave + convex + concave + convex) parts of the pattern and get a sample of our future stitch;
- We add all three panels ─ front, main and lining;
- We chop them off with sewing pins and outline the product blanks;
- We painstakingly translate stitches into the front part of the bedspread;
- On the bedspread there will be 146 motives;
- We carry out a stitch;
- We align the sections of the product;
- We plan and sew the frill;
- We cut frill sections with an overlock or oblique collar.
Dressing
Ideas that come during work always lead to an exclusive item. The process captivates and recalls the proverb "the appetite comes with eating." Only do-it-yourselfers create native, warm, soul-friendly products. Sleeping place is given special attention. The more spectacular and magnificent the decorative elements are, the more beautiful the bedroom will be.
The bedspread can be covered with ruffles, assemblies that visually enlarge the room. The bedroom will be decorated with decorative pillows. Sew pillows from the fabric for the bedspread, and the bedroom will take on a cute, cozy look. Clips, interceptions, draperies or folds, as well as flowers made of satin ribbons, can be used for a single-color product.
