How to make a wall panel with your own hands

Wall panelSize: 84x102 cm, with hinges and patches - 84x125 cm; patchwork block size - 16x16 cm. You will need:

scraps of fabrics of various colors;
A - calico green, 50 cm with a width of 150 cm;
B - calico red, 50 cm wide, 150 cm;
B - fabric for the back side, 90 cm with a width of 110 cm;
synthetic winterizer for laying, 90 cm with a width of 140 cm.

Technique: patchwork.

Description of work

Before work, soak all fabrics, dry, iron. Disassemble the shreds in colors and shades. Cutting Patchwork part of fabric A:

15 short connecting strips measuring 18x4 cm,
4 long connecting strips measuring 72x4 cm,
2 strips of border measuring 72x7 cm,
2 long strips of rim size 100x7 cm;

from fabric B:

2 strips of edging size 85x9 cm
2 strips of edging size 105x9 cm

Pates

from fabric B: 8 rectangles measuring 9.5x19 cm.
from fabric A: 8 strips for edging 60x2 cm.

Hinges

from fabric B: 8 strips of size 5x19 cm.
from fabric A: 16 strips for fringing in the size of 19x2 cm.

Sewing allowances = 1 cm. Sewing patchworkWall panels do it yourself

Prepare a template - a square with a side of 18 cm ofthick paper or cardboard. For each block, select the central flap of the most saturated color, give it the desired shape - it can be a triangle, a rectangle or something else (Fig. 1).

Then stitch the next shred (Fig. 2) to one of the sides of the central shred, unscrew it on the front side and press it (Fig. 3).

If necessary, trim the edges of the shred. Then stitch the next piece to the resulting figure (fig. 4), turn it to the front side, press it, etc.

The patchwork sewing process issequential grinding of the central shred with other shreds, while the central shred is the most saturated in color, and to the edges the block becomes lighter. In the process of work, it is necessary to compare the stitched block with the template, and when it reaches the desired dimensions, align the edges of the block with the pattern, i.e., to dimensions of 18x18 cm.

Using the described technology, sew 20 patchwork blocksdifferent shades, arrange them on a large surface and rearrange in color, selecting the most successful color combinations, until the composition seems harmonious.

Stitch patchwork blocks in one piece according toto scheme 19: first, 4 stitches with 3 short connecting strips in one detail - in total, 5 such details will turn out, and then to stitch these details with 4 long connecting strips (seam allowances for sewing on the connecting strips). Finally, attach the strips of a 7-cm-wide border to the resulting patchwork detail: first short horizontal, then long vertical.

Assembly and edgingScheme 19

On a flat surface spread out the fabric for the back side face down on her padding polyester, and on top - patchwork cloth face up.

Sweep all 3 layers with long stitches “forward needle” from the center to both sides every 10 cm.

Then quilting each unit separately on the machine: starting from some side of the block, move to the next, and pushing away from it - to the next (on the principle of a spiral). Asymmetry of stitches will only emphasize your “crazy shred” (Fig. 5).

Edging strips should be folded along in half, with the seamy side inwards, ironing folds.

To impose a vertical strip on the patchwork product, combining the open sections, and stitch.

Measure from the seam a distance equal to the width of the edging (in our case 2 cm), and cut off extra padding polyester and lining.

Unscrew the strip on the wrong side, tackand on the front side to lay the line at a distance of 1 mm from the edge of the strip. Similarly, stitch the other edging stripes. At the same time, attaching the upper and lower edging strips, simultaneously stitch the staves and folded loops in half. To this end, you need to tackle them to the wrong side of the product before performing the second line on the border strip and stitch it in the process of making this line.

Pats: stitch strips (not necessarily the correct form) into one part and align the edges of the part to a rectangle of 9.5x19 cm. Fold the back part with the patchwork detail (right sides out) and join along the edge with machine stitching. Open slices with a bake width of 0.5 cm.

Loops: stitch strips in one part and align the edges of the part to the size of 9.5x19 cm. Fold the part for the reverse side with the patchwork part (with the front side facing out) and join along the edge with machine stitching. To edge over the long edges of the loops with a bake.
