Several times I have gone to art exhibitions, or to tourist areas that have adapted the hands of the locals. Especially in Lancaster, Ph., where paintings of women made by the Amish are exhibited and sold. Prices are in the $900 to $1,000 range. But according to my instructions you can make yourself a pocket rug with all the color and beauty of Amish leather for a fraction of the cost.
Size 40″ wide by 50″ long.
Simple steps:
Tomorrow needs a mass of laughter. This material is wash and wear. 100% cotton requires ironing which will damage your garment because it is flattered in the batting.
You only need two yards of material, but I prefer to buy three to allow for extra. The plan? Mistakes will happen! Also, me- decorative matching pillows can be used.
I like the variety of paintings. color scheme should be decided on your own. You need a mix of light and dark fabric. Amish paintings are all solid colors but you can mix solids and patterns. You will need at least 1/2 yard of each fabric. That’s going to give you six different fabric colors and designs to use. You can choose a more monochrome color such as shades of brown or blue. Whatever is best for your home.
Curabitur needs a keyboard. It’s best to give the extra volume the type of amount you need for your skin. It’s about the right size crib for lap rocks.
The work of grace. Now you can buy the fabric, turn under the edges and you have a beautiful thanks. I will come in easy ways. I bought a crib sheet. My lips are finished for me. Make sure you check the packages to see if the size corresponds to the size of the blanket you are making. The top of your knife will be slightly larger than the bottom of the blanket, so you will need to turn the edges or trim under the edges.
Now for the fun part.
Collect the plan. For starters, I recommend that you go with the simplest plan. That is square. Do not give yourself advice as part of the work to the first hairy skin. Squares allow you to be creative with colors and patterns. This is enough for a start.
Give an example. An example is another name for a model. Use heavy cardboard. Submit your material. Put the pattern on the wrong side and trace. I don’t use it from marketing. The wall will show. There are special fabric markers that you can use to create fabric or brush.
Cut out the squares. For jewel-like colors, use a small 4 1/2″ square (an extra 1/2″ allows you 1/4″ around to sew.) Use a larger square for a big, bold skin.
I made a skin of my friend’s son with ships in it. I bought red, white and blue, and a design with ships on it.
I also made a butterfly quilt with solid color blocks, blocks with a distinct butterfly. These come out very beautiful.
Then cut out all your blocks: separate them by color and shape, and make a paper plan of your finished work. For example you want a red-blue color mixture. The first row would follow that pattern, the next row would alternate, otherwise you would have a vertical line of one color or pattern.
After you cut out your squares, you are ready to sew by machine or by hand, allowing 1/4″ on each side.
This is the perfect holiday project because you can sew it by hand while sitting at the beach or relaxing on the boat. your vacation home For faster quilting, use your sewing machine.
When the squares are all together, the three layer pieces are ready.
You need a flat surface such as a dining room table or a wooden floor. I also used the table ping pong. On the manger, place the towel wrong side up first, then the batting. No, the batting takes longer. You can cut it later. Then the top left with the rags.
Make big, and I mean big, stitches through all three fabrics, but don’t finish the edges yet. This is to hold the cloth together while you finish. Pick up these stitches later.
It is a great work to knock on a hoop or board. Quilting circles are the most economical way to make and easy to use. Even if you are making a scarf, it is good to have a hoop.
You will place a circle through all layers of fabric starting in the middle. You work from the middle to express the open sides of the batting.
You can do a running a small business SUO which is the same as quilting SUO. You can make a simple X on each block from one end to the next.
Easier: knit a quilt. Use woven yarn or acrylic dyed cotton (wool does not shrink). In both corners, close the gap. It is enough to tie a bow. This is a simple thread in, fold, tie and make a bow.
When all this is done, outside Example. Using a sheet of fabric, turn one top over and keep a thin seam with the hem. You can make straight angles or miter, but straight is easier and miter is more elegant.
And then there are things to do. Your skin is the target of the skirt. it will warm you in the cold evenings, and it will be beautiful over the back of your bed.
Once you succeed with one, you will want to try something more difficult, but in another article.
