Each hostess spends a lot of time in the kitchen. It is here that gatherings with friends, family meals and, of course, cooking various dishes. Therefore, the kitchen should not only be equipped with comfortable furniture and quality dishes, but also decorated with a variety of decor, among which a worthy place is occupied by textiles. It is enough to sew potholders, a towel, soft seats on chairs and curtains, so that your kitchen will play with new colors.
Textiles in the kitchen are simply necessary. It creates a special comfort in the room and helps to increase comfort. You can decorate the kitchen with your own hands or buy ready-made kits. Using the numerous scraps that are available in every home, you can sew potholders. They will not only decorate your kitchen, but also protect your handles from hot dishes.
The technique of making such a necessary inThe economy of things is very simple. Sewing potholders can be made from two layers of fabric with a sintepon or vatin interlayer. If you started making the first time, then use as a stencil simple geometric shapes: a circle, a square, an oval or a rhombus. Make a template from the cardboard of the correct size. Press the fabric flaps and, applying a cardboard circle on them, cut out two parts. We make the same item from the synthepon. We put our pieces in the form of a sandwich.
We fix the details with needles toAvoid bias during sewing. We lay a few lines around the entire area of the potholders and one at the very edge. To give the product a more aesthetic appearance, we process the edge of the tack with the help of an overlock, a zigzag line, a lace or an oblique bake. Be sure to sew the loop, for which we will hang the finished product. We sew potholders from different flaps and we process by oblique bake of one color. In this case, we get a fun kit.
Increasing your skills, you can makepatchwork potholders. The patchwork technique is very popular in many countries. It allows you to use all the remnants of material and unnecessary things for the manufacture of a variety of household items. Sewing potholders from different rags is not difficult. We use our main template for this. You can simply sew different pieces of fabric in random order and cut out the resulting piece of fabric hooks. Further production does not differ from the main variant. We sandwich the middle of the sintepon and process the edges.
Beautiful products are obtained by drawing upcloths from small squares. Take the basic template of the square shape and divide it into 4 or 9 parts. Having made small templates, we use them for cutting pieces from flaps. From the finished squares make up a pattern and sew. Razhujuzhivaem each seam, so that the surface of the stitch is even. The resulting details are sandwiched together by the sintepon and we spread it several times. We process the edges with the help of a skew-beam.
A nice and simple version of the tack is obtainedfrom the drape. The material itself is thick enough and does not require an additional layer. Therefore, it is sufficient to cut out one or two parts and process the edges. Beautiful potholders are obtained from drapes in the form of cats. Draw on paper not very large seals. Cut out the details from the drape. Tie the edge with a colored thread without a crochet and make a loop. Embroider the face with threads and make eyes - buttons.
An interesting variant of stitches is obtained withusing simple forms and decorating them with the help of applique. Cut out the square blanks for the base. For applique we take, for example, an apple. We cut out details of fruit from multi-colored flaps and, having imposed them on the basic detail, we impregnate with a small zigzag. If the fabric for application is strongly stretched or thin, then pre-glue the details on the nonwoven. Firmly fixing the components of the application, you can easily sew them, thanks to the gasket. We exfoliate the basis of the synthepon and process the edges with an oblique bake.
