If you want a personal decoration of your home, nothing like cushions patchwork fabric. Because you can place them both on chairs and on the main chair, without forgetting the bed. While we think about where we are going to place them, let's see how easy it is to make.
How to make Patchwork cushions step by step
- First of all, you will have to look for those fabrics that you want to take advantage of. You can choose combine colored fabrics and smooth or with different prints. This step is always to your liking!
- Once you have the fabrics, many people choose to wash them. In this way if they have to shrink, it is better to do it now and not when we have our cushion ready. After washing them, let them dry completely and iron them.
- Now you need cut the fabric into squares, helping you with a special fabric cutter and a ruler. Measurements can also vary, depending on how big you want your design. But yes, whatever you choose, remember that you should always leave one more piece that will remain as a margin when sewing.
- When we have all the pieces cut, we organize them on the table. In this way, we will help ourselves to see how the design would look.
- Then we take two pieces and put them right side up and join them at the sewing machine. We will be making strips of cloth. They will not be very big, since to make Patchwork cushions, we will need three or four pieces per strip.
- When we have the strips together, we put them back on the table. The top strips we will iron inside out and seams out. The middle strip on the inside and the bottom strip will also be ironed on the outside. Once well ironed, we return to the machine to join the strips of fabric. We already have, with this step, the front part of the cushion ready.
- For the back we need a colored fabric, preferably smooth. We are going to divide it into two parts. We will join, between one and another part, a zipper.
- Then, we will have to join this back part with the front part, leaving the zipper open. Because when the cushion is sewn, we will turn it over and that's it. Now all that remains is to place your filling!
