If you have been following my challenge you will know that I started of not knowing anything about patchwork and managed to create a reasonable patchwork quilted cushion cover. If I can do it then so can you. Go for it.
Before you start you might want to gather together some handy tools, you don’t need many
The absolute minimum equipment you will need
- fabric
- scissors
- needle
- thread
- long pins
- wadding
I also used a ruler and pencil to mark the fabric before cutting.(using tailors chalk would probably be a much better idea) and a sewing machine for the final quilting. I am thinking of investing in a rotary cutter for my next project, these look very useful, I already have a cutting board.
Because I used old shirts to make my first patchwork the only money I spent was about €3 for the wadding, and that bought a full meter, so I have plenty left over.
I think the most important tip I would give anyone is, take your time, cut your fabric carefully and stick to the 1/4 inch seam allowance.
And most important, Enjoy it, it’s meant to be fun:)
