We collect by shovel

Interesting and very popular in recent years, the style of handicrafts has become a patchwork (in English it means "working with a shred"). From the scraps of cloth, skillful needlewomen create real masterpieces of art: blankets, blankets, carpets and even curtains. In order for the work to turn out to be of really high quality, it is necessary to select fabrics that are similar in texture. It is also desirable that the pattern of shreds be in harmony with each other. Cut pieces of fabric with allowance for allowances - from 0.5 to 1 cm. Cutting material is carried out along the share thread. Beforehand, wash and iron the fabric to prevent shrinkage. The material can be delineated only with soap, pencil or chalk, but not with a handle - there is a risk of traces on the front of the product.

Blanket "Spring mood"

For manufacturing it is necessary to prepare:

• Fabric green, pink, yellow, orange and blue;
• Soap, chalk or pencil, ruler;
• Pattern - square 6 x 6 cm, rectangles 24 x 6 and 12 x 6 cm;
• scissors;
• Sewing machine;
• Piece of cloth 111 x 83 cm (for the purest part of the product);
• Sintepon.

Prepare the fabric: wash, dry and iron. Lay out prepared cardboard templates on the material. Cut 12 pink, blue, green and yellow squares, not forgetting the 1 cm allowance. In addition, you will need 60 squares of the same size, but of different colors. They will cover the blanket around the perimeter. Prepare 24 strips 24 cm long and 6 cm wide from a different fabric and 24 strips of 12 cm of the same width.

Start sewing: take 4 squares of 6 cm of different colors and stitch them together. Then 4 strips of the same color are found along the perimeter of the product: 2 short ones on the sides, 2 long ones on the top and bottom. In the same way, collect all the remaining squares. Sew the products together. It should be 4 large squares in length and 3 in width.

The next stage is a patch of squares (delayed 60 pieces) along the perimeter of the blanket. The order of their arrangement by color depends entirely on your imagination. To the blanket, it is now necessary to sew a cloth measuring 83 x 111 cm (3 cm per allowance). It is necessary to connect the two sides with one face inward. After you sew 3 sides, turn out the product and fill it with sintepon. Then, gently connect the 4th edge (either manually or manually). Soft and beautiful blanket is ready!
