Do everyone have a couple of jeans with whom at the time to say goodbye? So, from such jeans you can sew a whole new pillowcase in the technique of Pechvor. Simply and easily.
This pattern is called "CATHEDRAL WINDOW" . Probably because it resembles stained windows of gothic temples. In this master class, I will give a simple way to simulate this pattern.
one) To begin with, we will need Templates: Circle and Square.
I need to make a web 40x40 cm. Of 16 squares, 4 in each row. Square = 10x10 cm. Next, for the second part, fit the square in the circle. I will teach the second pattern - a circle.
2) We declare our jeans (for your pillowcase I took a denim fabric). Apply the circle pattern, supply and cut out . It will be the main canvas of our pillowcase, but it can not be seen almost. It will go on the wrong side.
Denim details - 16 Circles.
3) I spread a row of four circles from denim parts, retreating down - four more. Lay out 4 rows . They need to be sewed into one canvas, as is done in the Pechwork.
For convenience on round items, I immediately drawn on the wrong side of the squares. Then it is convenient to connect and sew the details. Take two circles, "face" inside, and stitch on the side of the drawn square . Here you need to follow, so that you do not bother the next square, which is sewn.
We sew 4 rows of 4 circles and we get a cloth of pillowcase 40x40 cm. Hooray! She is almost ready. Sticking semicircular ears will decorate the front part with a beautiful pattern.
Part of the work done!
four) Cotton fabrics Cut on a template 16 squares.
These flap will go to the front part, so choose the color carefully and listen to the inner call of the beautiful.
five) Put the denim part "ears" up and In the "pockets" put cotton squares . So place all 16 squares.
6) "Ears" jeans smoothed on the parties and fix pins. It turns out a cruciform pattern, similar to a flower of lilac. We need to top cotton square Save ears.
I admonish all over the perimeter of squares, so the upper patchwork is obtained from me without points on the seams, but we will cope with it, it's not scary.
Patchwork is ready.!
Now it's small, we have left to make the back of the pillowcase. Here I will stop less detail, since you can choose any option - zipper, on junction, on the smell, etc.
7) Cut two parts with letters on the seams for the back of the pillowcase . They should be from each edge at least a centimeter more basic patchwork cloth. If you make a pillowcase from old jeans, then the second pant will go to the back.
8) sew metal zipper.
9) bend and smooth letters on the seams So that the two parts come out in size. We fold the inside the inside, fix the pins. Then we work on the outer parts of the pillowcase, so be careful. We admonish the back of the fastener to the patchwork.
Pillowcase ready!
That's what happened to me.
I hope you get beautiful and unique pillowcases
