How much time is spent running around shops and markets in search of a unique item that will fit perfectly into the interior. Sometimes it’s simply impossible to find a blanket for a bed or sofa that matches curtains, wallpaper, and furniture. But you can do it yourself. This will require a little patience and knowledge of the main points, which we will talk about now.
Preparatory work
First you need to decide what kind of blanket you want to see on your bed. It can be completely ordinary and simple - fleece, of any color. Then you just need to process the edges. And if you buy the material in bulk in a store, it will cost you mere pennies.
Before cutting the bedspread you must:
- measure the bed;
- add 3-4 centimeters to the calculated length and width for the seams.
Option with frills
To sew this option, you need to measure the length of the bed, and then multiply the result by 2. First, we sew the frill, and then sew it to the blanket.
Quilted plaid
To create a quilted product, you will need a little more effort, because you will have to make a lining. The stitching is done on a sewing machine. If time is short, you can make it large. This option looks unusual.
Patchwork very quickly
Patchwork style bedspreads are now at the peak of popularity. This type consists of many patches. It doesn't take much time to make a blanket like this. You can use a trick - buy fabric that will already be dyed to look like patchwork. Then you won’t have to work for long!
And finally - some good advice. The material chosen is one that is machine washable. Before cutting the fabric, it needs to be washed and ironed to avoid shrinkage problems. The fabric should be cut using special scissors to prevent fraying of the edges. It is better to sew with strong synthetic threads.
Good luck with your creativity! Let your handmade blankets keep you warm this winter.
