So it turned out historically that our people are accustomed to save on everything. And even with the arrival of financial stability and abundance of beautiful things on store shelves, it remained in us. Why not? For example, why throw out old bed linen if you can create exquisite things to house, which will be unique and stylish.
Original tablecloth on the table
If you have a large sheet or a duvet cover with small defects that do not allow them to be directly intended, you can use them to create a stylish provence style tablecloth. It will look original as a round tablecloth and square or rectangular shape.
To do this, it is necessary for the whole piece of fabric to mark the markup, removing the size in advance from its table and cut off, taking into account the allowances on the seams. You can simply turn the edge and take it gently. But more exquisite and rich will look at the finish of the Niza ribbon from another cloth suitable on texture and style, lace ribbons or rollers.
Bed linen for pets
What could be easier, how do not block the old pillowcase under a new pillowcase on the pad of your favorite cat or dogs? By the way, if there is no desire to wash, then you can immediately seize somewhat - change and throw out as contamination. It's often with a molting on such pillows such a number of wool and dirt accumulates that it simply makes no sense to repent them and send them to washing. Here for such moments, it is better to have a few pillowcase pillows in stock.
Gaming place for children
From the old bed linen you can come up with a lot of interesting things for children. For example, a children's house in the form of a tent. For this you need four wooden planks of a long 120 centimeters of two for each side and crossbar between them. Cross two wooden supports cross as in the photo and make a hole into which then stretch the pipe that will serve the roof of the tent house. Or simply bore with nails, glue or self-tapping screws and top to secure the bar. Source to the size of the canvas and pull on the design, securing on the sides of the slats and at the bottom.
The second option is convenient mattresses. To do this, choose any filler in a shopping store, which is washing in the product, cut and sew a rectangular pillowcase and evenly fill it. It is better to make transverse seams on the finished product so that the filler does not come down in one direction. Believe me, the children will be delighted with such a mattress. After all, it will be on the floor on it, read books, do the needlework or use in any games.
Cozy blanket for home
From the patchwork you can sew a stylish stragan blanket. With such a task, even an inexperienced master can cope. To do this, you need the material (better so that it approached the texture and color scheme to each other), sewing machine, thread, scissors, iron, centimeter tape and time. There are special cars for a patchwork, but the usual one will suit the house. The fabric is erased, cuddled, cut off her blanks and stroke.
Important! It is easiest to still sew a patchwork from ordinary elements that do not require pattern. It may be square, triangle or rectangle.
Details are cut along the outer edge, and stitching internal. Then the stitched canvas stroke the iron with a steamer in one direction to avoid distortion. The volume of the blanket will give lining or insulation. All three layers are stitch.
Gourmet things for home
If you have an old bedding for 80% hopelessly become unusable, but you really like fabric and drawing, you can use whole pieces to create small pleasant and useful things. For example, napkins for dinners, cape on clothes hangers, sheathe the hanger for easy storage with slippery clothes, sew a kitchen apron or create a stylish bath for storing bath accessories.
