Pattern orthopedic pillows
First of all, it is necessary to make a pattern, on the basis of which the whole further process will be built, making a road cushion.
To do this, it is proposed to perform the following steps in stages.
- On a thick sheet of cardboard with dimensions of at least 40x20 cm, draw a vertical axis separating the cardboard sheet into two equal rectangles.
- Exactly in the middle of the vertical line to mark the center, and through it to draw a horizontal line. There should be four equal rectangles.
- On the vertical axis measure 18 cm from the center in both directions. Put two marks.
- Measure along the horizontal axis from the center 5.5 cm in both directions. Also tick off. This is the narrowest part of the bone.
- From the marked point 18 cm along the vertical axis, retreat 3 cm toward the center, make a mark. On another part of the picture repeat the operation of the mirror.
- Through the resulting point to draw a horizontal line with a length of 9.5 cm, in both directions. Put a mark. This is the widest part of the bone.
- From a point of 18 cm, retreat 1.5 cm in the direction from the center, draw a horizontal line.
- Check that all marks are symmetrical about the axes, should be a mirror image.
- Connect all received marks on the contour in the form of a bone.
- Sharp scissors for paper cut the pattern on the resulting contour.
Cutting road cushion
The resulting pattern of the future product must be attached to the inner side of the previously selected material and a continuous line along the contour. Using sharp scissors, cut the workpiece contour. Stock under the seam do not need.
For the manufacture of orthopedic road cushion, you need three such blanks on the pattern.
Sewing a bone cushion
Tailoring of the product begins with the fact that all three blanks are correctly folded to form a three-dimensional bone.
The seam starts from the narrowest point of the bone, from the inside of the material, further along the perimeter and ends in the same place. In total, there should be three seams.
When sewing products, it is recommended to use a sewing machine, however, for not having the last one, you can do with a needle and thread, although it will be more laborious.
It is necessary to leave a non-stitched space 15-17 cm, intended for turning the product with the front side of the material.
Sewn on the pattern of the workpiece must be filled with filler, for the role of which is well suited:
- foam residues, 2-3 cm in diameter;
- synthetic winterizer;
- holofiber
It is not advised that the orthopedic pillow should be packed too tightly, it should be moderately soft and dense, generally comfortable.
It remains the last stitch and the product, in the form of an orthopedic road cushion of the bone - ready!
