When the pace with different patterns, it will be possible to change the appearance of the bedroom on the mood, covering the bed in different ways.

Choosing a color

The color scheme of the product must match the style of the room, but may be seasonal in nature, take into account the lighting of the room, its size.

The type of fabric for the bedspread should also be chosen on the basis of seasonality.

1. The veil should not create an impression of contrast, unless it is a design trick intended. In a small room, the bed should not be a bright spot, otherwise it can make the illusion of filling the whole space. It is better to choose a beautiful bedspread similar in color to the decoration and surrounding objects.
2. Illumination of the bedroom, primary and secondary colors are also important. It is preferable to dilute a gloomy situation with a warm, light palette of shades. With good lighting, the overall warmth, it is possible to show great imagination in choosing the color of the bedspread.
3. Cold shine, play are appropriate only in a large room, preferably in the summer. Otherwise, the intended chic will become an inappropriate farce.

Getting ready to sew

When the choice of model, type of fabric, color is made, it is necessary to decide on what is needed in the work, and how to sew the cover on the bed with your own hands. The first thing that needs to be considered for tailoring is the fabric consumption. For this you need to make simple measurements.

Gentle color of the coverlet always makes the whole room light!

Determine the size of the bedspread.

• With the help of a measuring tape it is necessary to measure the bed in length, width, height. These measures will help to simulate the size of the future bedspread, to build a pattern.
• Using a regular tetrad sheet in a cage, make a drawing on a reduced scale. This will help to visually design the model of the bedspread. The resulting pattern is a rectangle with a side, supplemented with a frill of the desired height if necessary. Sometimes due to the location of the bed height lines are not needed. For example, in the presence of the back of the bed, or its wall location.
• When building a drawing, we take into account the fit of the fabric, the seam allowances. This will be from 3 to 5 cm. If a quilted bedspread is planned, the model displays the lines of the intended seams. This method makes it possible to adjust the unloved picture without damage to the materials and sewing process.
  

  The cover with the hands will add a lot of heat and a cosiness to your room.

Calculate fabric consumption

To calculate the required amount of fabric is required to know its width. If it is 1.4 m., Then for a blanket on a double bed, you will have to cut out 2 parts of the main canvas and grind them together. This is not always permissible for the aesthetics of the finished product. Therefore, it is advisable to take care of the necessary width of the fabric in advance.

A lot depends on the choice of the initial scheme of cut, try to find the perfect one for your bed.

The fabric for the upper part of the bedspread is easy to calculate: you need to know the length, width, add a few extra centimeters to it. Fabric consumption for a frilled bedspread should be counted with folds, if they need to be laid. If they are present, the length of the strip must be additionally multiplied by 1.5

The ideal and precisely thought over pattern for a coverlet - you need only to substitute the values.

With a fabric width of 2.8 m., Most likely, 1 product length will suffice. The frills in this case should fit in the remnants of the fabric from the width. If the fabric is 1.4 m., Then it is necessary to lay 2 lengths of the main web and the total length of all sides with a frill. In this case, the consumption of fabric is significant, and the quality of the cover will suffer due to the additional seams.

Choose for sewing blankets the fabric with which it will be easier for you to work during the sewing process.

We cut and sew

Having completed the preparation of the necessary materials, we proceed to the most responsible - cutting for tailoring. The selected material directly affects the complexity of the subsequent actions. With light, sliding fabrics (silk, satin), extreme caution is needed when cutting, then sewing the product. Forming stitches will cause additional difficulties.

Then the fabric is thoroughly leveled, chopped with pins. Cut to carry out exclusively on a flat surface, to prevent the cut of materials on the weight.

Even a quilted bedspread can look different, depending on the pattern you choose.

Frill is not necessary to do one-piece. You can use the resulting tissue residues. It is important that all typesetting strips are cut out in the same direction (along or across).

To create a patchwork bedcover, select cuts of fabric that match each other in color and texture.

If the cover implies the presence of lining fabric, they are cut out by the synthetic layer by analogy with the main details. In the process of stitching, they are joined into a whole bedspread. If there is a pattern on the fabric, it should also be considered when cutting.

Bright bed blankets will always charge you with positive energy at bedtime.

Next comes the time Stitch all the details together. With the help of a sewing machine, we connect the base of the cover with a frill. To do this, place the parts with the wrong side up, lay the seams along the edges. Do not forget to lay the folds, if they are provided by the model. Sewing a blanket without unnecessary details is easy. In the presence of a lining, a heater it is necessary to put all layers exactly together, then sew.

The quilt is best created from not very bright fabric cuts.

TIP. It is better to pre-break off additional parts with pins along with the main ones, or to perform manual basting seams.

If there are stitches, you must first sew its stitches, then stitch the main elements. If there is no experience, then it is better to sew stitches manually first.

For a baby blanket you need to choose not only a pleasant color, but also high-quality natural material.
