Shred potholders for beginners. Do-it-yourself potholders made from scraps - patterns

Patchwork, or as it is commonly called today, patchwork, is an ancient, but now very popular needlework technique. Judging by the name, it is easy to guess that this type of applied craftsmanship involves working with multi-colored pieces and scraps of fabric, from which, in the process, a new, colorful, unique product is created. A quilted product made from scraps is called a quilt. At the very beginning of mastering the technique of patchwork, of course, it will be difficult to decide on making a large product such as a blanket or tablecloth. Therefore, it is best to start with something small, for example, by making a patchwork pot holder for your kitchen.

Every good housewife always wants to bring warmth and comfort into her home. And it’s no secret that textiles contribute to a comfortable atmosphere in the interior. And when it comes to decorating the kitchen, there is room for your imagination to run wild. For example, sewing oven mitts. These cute little things can become a wonderful decorative decoration, a useful gift, or even serve practically in your kitchen. Potholders using the patchwork technique look very beautiful and unusual. Such products come out in small sizes, and even the smallest pieces of fabric can be used to sew them.

So patchwork is widely used in the manufacture of potholders for the kitchen. They can be quilted (quilted), round, square and rectangular (traditional patchwork), or even mitten-shaped or crazy patchwork. Nowadays, on the Internet you can find any master class and various patterns for beginner lovers of patchwork techniques.

Tips for needlewomen on making potholders for the kitchen

What details need to be taken into account when making patchwork potholders for the kitchen? The main purpose of a potholder is to protect your hands from burns and injuries, which means it should be thick, dense and comfortable. Appearance is also important, so you need to know which fabrics are best to use when sewing.

• Potholders must be thick enough to protect your hands from hot dishes, so it is best to use padding polyester or batting as a lining.
• It is recommended to cover the lining with natural cotton fabrics, as they are not subject to melting when heated or accidentally ignited.
• Convenience is very important in this product, so you need to sew a mitten of a size that would ideally fit the owner’s hand.

Quilted square potholder - master class

This master class will show you how to make the simplest square patchwork potholders with your own hands. For this method you will need four types of fabric. We start by cutting out four multi-colored squares. Cut the resulting squares into triangles. Sew two triangles. Then we perform these actions with the remaining triangles.

We connect the sewn parts into a square and prepare a loop

We cut out the reverse side of the product from a single piece of fabric

We combine all the cut out parts, rounding the corners and inserting a loop, place a pad of batting or padding polyester in the middle, stitch it, leaving two to three centimeters so that you can turn the potholder right side out. Your DIY pot holder is ready!

Heart shaped pot holder - master class

The next master class will help you make a heart-shaped potholder, which can decorate not only your kitchen, but also serve as an excellent gift for Valentine's Day. You will say that such a gift is not suitable as a present for your beloved man? But this is not so, because it can be given not only to a man, and you also need to take into account the fact that many of them know how and love to cook, spending a lot of time in the kitchen.

Therefore, let's start making a potholder in the shape of a heart. We select fabric in two shades, preferably choosing from red, pink, orange or lilac tones. Plain chintz and fabric with a pattern are best suited. You will also need threads to match the color of the fabric, cardboard for the pattern, and material for the lining - foam rubber or batting.

First, we make a heart-shaped template from cardboard, place it on the prepared fabric and cut out two parts of different colors. Then we fold the fabrics inside out to each other, fasten them with pins and cut them into three parts along inclined straight lines, cutting off the side parts. As a result, it should turn out that the middle part of the heart will be in the shape of a trapezoid. Then we swap the centers of the two parts and get two flaps in which the middle will be one color, and the sides will be another. We begin to sew the flaps. We fold the middle part with one of the side right sides, aligning the edges, and make a connecting seam, and then sew the third part of the heart in the same way. If the edges are uneven, they can be trimmed with scissors. Then, using the template, you need to cut out a heart for the gasket, and put all the parts together, fastening them with pins. Then you need to stitch all the layers. That's all, the master class is over, and our heart-shaped potholder is ready.

Master class on making a potholder in the form of a mitten

First you need to make a template, then fold the fabric in half, placing the pattern inside and cutting out two parts, and then the same one from the lining material. Then fold the prepared blanks back to back and sew along the edge, and in the place where the mitten transitions to the thumb, you need to cut it out, not reaching the line 3 mm, leaving a few centimeters so that you can turn it right side out. To finish making the mitten, you need to do hand stitching.

Potholder in the power of crazy: master class and diagrams

Take different shreds, choose one of them, it must be irregular in shape, if necessary, trim the edges with scissors, then attach a second shred to it, its edges should be larger than those of the first, and sew them together. Then iron them well. And thus assemble the canvas of the required size.

The diagrams show the order of assembling potholders in the crazy style

The finished solid fabric needs to be ironed well. Then you need to cut a square of the required size from the lining fabric, which will serve as the underside of the patchwork potholder. Then place the lining on the wrong side of the bottom piece, and the patchwork part on top, pin it together, and sew. Next, make the edging for your potholder.

Patchwork pot holders can be sewn from any leftover fabric; they can serve you practically or be simply a decorative decoration for your kitchen! Good luck in creating these useful and beautiful products!

In order for handicrafts to begin to bring pleasure, you will have to work hard. Starting is never easy. You also need to learn patchwork sewing. Not everything works out right away: your hands don’t obey, your eye fails. This is what the experience of the masters is for. Having mastered video lessons, photo materials and a master class with their tips and secrets, you can safely bring to life any idea - from making a simple pot holder to a new sofa upholstery.

Quilting for Beginners

Patchwork is very popular today - a handicraft in which colored scraps of fabric are assembled into a whole product with a planned pattern based on the principle of a mosaic. The result of such a fascinating process can be a recognizable image of some objects, geometric patterns or fancy patterns. Ideas for patchwork can be taken from photo and video lessons, as well as master classes.

Initially, the patches were sewn together to save material, and the patchwork had very specific tasks. Now the patchwork technique is the desire to create beauty while enjoying this magical action. Quilted bedspreads, decorative panels, blankets and pillows, oven mitts, updated furniture, and clothes are pleasing to the eye.

To understand the basics of patchwork technique, you need to get acquainted with its main types in master classes and videos

Basicspatchworksewing:

1. AccuracyAndaccuracy. The patchwork technique is not a complicated technology, but realizing the idea, as in MK, is not always easy. The guarantee of success in patchwork is accuracy and precision. Patterns for potholders or blankets must be precise and very neatly sewn. The fabric requires pre-treatment (decatation). It needs to be soaked or washed, dried and ironed, sorted by color.
2. JobWithiron. The iron is an important tool in patchwork. During work, the seams must be ironed; when decatching fabrics, they must also be ironed. Ready potholders or bags are steamed from the front side and always in one direction. The seams also need to be pressed in one direction. Then they will not crumble and will be durable. Seam allowances are smoothed from the inside out so that no marks remain on the front side. In complex blocks where seams meet in different directions, the allowances of each next row are ironed in a different direction. On the front side, iron at the intersection points of the seams. If the strips are too long, they should be placed on the ironing board not horizontally, but vertically - they will not wrinkle or stretch. Fabric that is too thick is moistened and steamed. The fabric is ironed lengthwise at a temperature appropriate to the type of fabric.
3. Secretssewing. Carelessly sewn fragments of a future potholder or napkin, uneven seams, even a slight discrepancy in sizes will destroy patchwork sewing for beginners. Therefore, the flaps must be sewn in very precisely. Beginning craftswomen will be helped by templates in the form of a frame, which are made on graph paper with a seam line printed on the fabric. Before starting a huge project, it is recommended to sew a sample block. It will help you check the cutting accuracy and adjust the operation of the sewing machine. It is easy to see all the errors on the sample - this will save both time and effort.

It is much more difficult to correct errors on a finished canvas.

In general, the patchwork technique should be taken seriously, considering all color combinations even for potholders - after all, they, like sloppy work, can ruin the item and discourage you from mastering such an exciting handicraft.

Where to start patchwork sewing

To begin with, they collect all the scraps of fabric, sort them by texture and color, and begin to create a pattern. You can do the opposite: come up with a pattern or find it on MK, photos and videos, and then cut blanks from purchased fabrics.

From all the abundance of fabric scraps stored at home, it is important to choose the right combination for the future product

The second step is to create a sketch of an oven mitt, pillow or napkin. It is better for beginning needlewomen to use ready-made patterns from magazines or MKs from the Internet.

The process of joining shreds into a whole canvas:

• Sewing the parts of a potholder or blanket;
• Connecting blocks into one whole;
• Sewing the lining

In addition to sewing, there is also knitted patchwork, where the flaps are connected to each other using crochet and contrasting thread.

In addition to threads, fabric and machines, the patchwork technique uses:

• Roller cutter or scissors;
• Pins, needles;
• Sewing machine;
• Pencil or chalk;
• Cardboard or soft plastic;
• Crochet hook.

In handicraft stores you can find patchwork kits - with pattern diagrams, MK.

Patterns for patchwork can be found in the kit or made yourself

Patchwork kit includes fabrics, necessary tools, templates and block diagrams

Patchwork: patterns, templates

You can create diagrams and templates yourself or take ready-made patterns from the Internet, books or magazines. Templates are cut along the contour of the part, taking into account seam allowances. The material for production can be cardboard, thick paper, plastic. For accuracy, you can stick graph paper on the cardboard, and then cut out the shape of the intended size. When making curved blanks, longitudinal cuts-notches must be made on the outer contour of the template - it is convenient to mark seams along them when connecting the flaps.

Photo and video tutorials on patchwork sewing offer diagrams, templates and MK

Cutting rules

The most convenient templates are frames. The inner part must correspond to the finished size of the fragment, the outer part takes into account seam allowances. The width of such a frame is the size of the allowances. When making a pattern, the frame must be circled twice and cut only along the outer contour. The inner outline will show the seam line. The pattern is transferred to the fabric with chalk or soap; any pen leaves marks on the front side. Cutting is done only along the grain thread, so that subsequently the sewn parts do not stretch or warp. Cut out the flaps with regular scissors or a special cutter. A roller cutter makes the process much easier, cutting long strips that are easy to cut into smaller pieces. You can't do without a cutter when the templates are curved.

Pattern selection

INtechnologypatchworkexists 3 kindproducts:

• Canvas, stitchedfromscraps, where the parts assemble the seam into a seam. The shape of the patches can be regular, geometric (traditional sewing) or arbitrary (crazy patchwork). Watch video lessons.
• Quiltedproducts(quilting) are sewn from a whole cloth, the pattern on which is created using stitches.
• Application– pieces of other fabrics are beautifully placed on the base, sewn and quilted.

“Frame” is the simplest and most convenient template for cutting

Patchwork technique for beginners

The pattern can be created based on one repeating figure, for which paper templates are cut out for each part and a flap is basted to it. The seam allowance is folded over the edge and basted again. This is a traditional English technique.

The block technique is more modern: pieces of triangular or square-shaped fabric are sewn into blocks, creating a geometric pattern. A simple block can be made from a small number of large parts. This kind of work takes less effort and time. It is often used by video lessons and MK.

The strip patchwork technique is also known. It differs from the previous version in that the fragments are collected into strips, then they are combined into a canvas. The block technique is convenient because the flaps are sewn together directly on a machine.

In crazy patchwork, the flaps are sewn on according to the applique type: individual flaps of arbitrary shape are beautifully placed on the canvas and sewn. Potholders, blankets, covers come out in two layers.

Special comfort in the interior is created by handmade items, in particular, beautiful and comfortable pillows. Let's try to sew a decorative pillowcase with a voluminous "Rose" application using MK. You can take any scraps for work, the main thing is that they match well in color. Don't forget to prepare the fabric - wash it, iron it.

Master class “Pillow with applique”

Step by stepinstructions.

1. It’s convenient to start by preparing squares. Their number and size determine the size of the pillow.
2. Then you need to cut a circle out of the fabric. In the middle, put a piece of fabric and some filler for volume (cotton wool, padding polyester). Secure in a circle using a machine stitch. The middle is ready.
3. Fold the squares from the flaps diagonally, as in the photo, sew around the middle piece in a circle - 3-5 pieces.
4. For the next round you need to prepare large squares of the corresponding color. Continue until the end of the intended flower size.
5. The sewn petals must be trimmed in a circle.
6. The finished roses are beautifully distributed on a pillowcase and secured to the product with a zig-zag seam and a wide, dense stitch. The rosette has the appearance of a three-dimensional appliqué.
7. If desired, the bouquet can be supplemented with leaves cut from scraps of a suitable color. Look at the photo for a step-by-step master class. The blanket in MK is made using the “crazy patchwork” technique (you can watch video tutorials), and it consists of 30x30 cm squares. For a single blanket you need 24 pieces, for a double blanket – 36. Let’s say the pattern will be made up of 4 types of fabric.

The complexity of the ornament depends on the experience and skills of patchwork sewing

Master class “Patchwork for beginners - blanket”

Tools and materials:

• 1 m of fabric of each color (width 220 cm) - 6 or 9 squares 45x45 cm;
• For the lining - 170 cm or 220 cm (the margin at the bottom goes away after the blanket is quilted);
• Sintepon of similar sizes;

A blanket or bedspread can be sewn from simple squares or complex pieces

Step-by-step instructions for MK:

1. Cut into squares and stack, alternating colors.
2. Cut this layer cake diagonally or randomly. It is convenient to cut with a roller knife.
3. Take the part from above and move it down under a stack of similar elements. In a cut stack there will be 1 piece of the 1st color on top and 1 piece of the 2nd color.
4. Machine sew all the squares along the cut line.
5. On an ironing board, carefully press the seams to one side or press them flat.
6. Fold the blanks into a neat stack in the same order - squares of the 1st and 2nd tones on top.
7. Using a ruler and a knife, cut the entire stack again along any line (you can cross the first seam).
8. Move one of the top fragments down under the stack. Sew and press, remembering to fold in order - now it’s better to match the seams.
9. The operation is repeated until the last detail. The optimal number of seams is 6-10 horizontally and vertically.
10. After ironing the seams, you need to trim the squares to get a figure with a side of 32 cm.
11. You can assemble the blanket in different ways: first assemble the front part, then quilt it with padding polyester and lining. It's difficult on a typewriter. Or quilt each square separately, cutting padding and lining.
12. Gather the quilted squares together, trim and cover the seams with narrow tape or strips of fabric. It is convenient to assemble according to the scheme: ribbons of 4-6 squares, then sew the strips.
13. Along the edge of the blanket, you also need to trim it with an edging made of plain fabric or pieces of rags, as in the MK photo.

Congratulations on your new look!

Description of work:

1.Cut out a backing from a piece of thick fabric in the shape of a 23x23 cm square.
The substrate must be divided into 8 equal parts and draw lines with a pencil so that they intersect at one point, this will be the center of our product

2. Cut out the tack parts: round parts - 4 pieces, square parts - three colors, 8 pieces each. everyone
Iron the parts as shown in the photo: first fold them into a triangle, iron them, then fold the corners to make a square and iron them again (you need to very accurately and carefully iron the corners of all the parts)

3. Please note that the last row of squares needs to be ironed like this.

So, all the blanks are ready, you can start assembling. The upper part of the potholder will be assembled from scraps; the lower part does not need to be cut out yet.

4. Place the first row (4 parts) on the backing, align all 4 corners in the center, placing them along the lines, open the top folds and pin with pins. Sew the parts inside and close the folds; the stitching should not be visible.
5. Sew the first row in a circle, the width of the seam from the cuts of the parts is 0.5 cm.

16.Now you need to try to sew the bias tape (without pulling it) along the edge of the potholder directly on the machine, stitch width 0.7 cm.

17. You can pre-baste the binding

18. We bend the edge of the potholder with the tape and adjust it along the front side along the edge, do not forget to insert a loop of braid - bindweed, you can use tape.

19.You can stitch a bindweed along the edge of the potholder for decoration.

20. This is the product I got.

21.Here are more photographs of my students’ products.

An oven mitt is an absolutely indispensable item in any kitchen. Of course, any rag you can get your hands on can play the role of a potholder, but it’s much more pleasant to use a beautiful product, sewn with love and attention. There are many ways to create potholders with your own hands, but in this lesson we will look at one of the simplest and most beautiful ways - patchwork sewing potholders.

Sewing from patchwork or, as it is also called, patchwork is a type of needlework in which the finished product is sewn from small pieces of multi-colored fabric, which are folded into a simple ornament or even a complex pattern. Patchwork pot holders are quite simple to make, so this type of work is perfect for those who have just started doing patchwork, and for those who already consider themselves a professional in this field. Having spent very little time and scraps of fabric that you will probably find in your home, you will get a beautiful craft that you won’t be ashamed to hang in a prominent place in the kitchen, and if you add a towel or an apron to such potholders, you will get a wonderful gift for a friend, mother or mother-in-law .

There are a variety of patterns for sewing patchwork potholders; you can come up with them yourself or find them on the Internet and specialized magazines. And in this master class we will look at several main types of potholders.

We sew a simple two-color potholder

For beginners, simple patchwork potholders made from two types of fabric are perfect. Try to choose a fabric so that both types are approximately the same density and fit well together. Cut two strips of equal width from the fabric, fold them right sides together and carefully sew or topstitch along one of the long sides.

After this, unfold the workpiece and iron it thoroughly, while smoothing the seam towards the fabric that is darker.

Now you will need cardboard. Draw an isosceles right triangle on it, mark the middle of its sides and cut it out, trying to do it as neatly as possible.

Start cutting out scraps for potholders. Attach the resulting triangular template to the wrong side of the fabric blank so that the right angle of the triangle is directed upward. Align the center line on the template with the seam on the fabric and trace the triangle with a chalk or pencil. Now turn the cardboard template over so that the right angle is facing down. Align the side of the template with the side of the triangle you just drew on the fabric, and the center line with the seam accordingly. Circle the triangle. Continue marking the patchwork tack parts in the same way, turning the triangular template over. In total you will need four triangles of each color scheme.

Cut out the triangles. There will be eight of them in total, very similar, but half of them have different colors of the original stripes.

Select four identical triangles and sweep them in pairs so that when the resulting workpiece is opened, the strips form an angle of 90 degrees with respect to one another.

You have two blanks. Make a square out of them. For ease of assembly, it is better to iron the workpieces, then the resulting fold will help you find the correct basting line.

Open the back side of the potholder and sew these two parts with right sides facing each other. Leave a small part of the seam unfinished.

Tidy up the potholder - trim off excess fabric from the seams, turn it right side out and straighten the corners using scissors or a sharp pencil.

Inside the pot holder, place a layer of padding polyester that suits your thickness.

The potholder needs a loop for hanging. Open it up and sew along it as shown in the picture.

Sew the finished loop into the corner of the potholder and finish the seam.

Two-color potholders are ready!

We sew a potholder “Kaleidoscope”

This potholder is suitable for those cases when there is only one type of fabric, but you want to make several different potholders at once. Thanks to this technique, the pattern on the potholders is different, but in the same color scheme.

For these potholders you will need fabric with a small pattern, then they will look more interesting.

You need to cut out a triangular template from paper with sides about eleven centimeters long. It is important that the angle is exactly 60 degrees. Using this triangle, we measure the required width of the strip that needs to be cut from the fabric.

Cut another such strip, making sure to match its pattern with the pattern of the first strip.

Place the two strips together and cut fabric triangles using a paper template. Cut out one triangle, then turn the template over and cut out the next one. There should be twelve such triangles in total - six for the top layer and six for the bottom.

You will get triangles like these with stripes arranged in different ways.

Cut out all the triangles and place them in two different piles.

Now is the most creative moment - arrange the triangles into a hexagon the way you like. You may have many options.

Now the resulting hexagon needs to be attached to the adhesive base using an iron. This must be done so that the triangles do not stretch when sewing.

Connect the triangles together using a zigzag stitch.

This is what your potholder should look like from the inside out.

Now cut the batting to size and start edging the potholders. Strips about four centimeters wide must be sewn separately on each side.

First you need to sew a strip, then bend it to the right side, cut it off and attach the next strip to it.

And so on in a circle. In one of the corners, insert a hanger for a potholder made of braid or a stitched strip of fabric.

This is how everything is sheathed in a circle, folded, and stitched. This is a rather labor-intensive process, but the result will live up to your lice expectations.

After this, the edging is wrapped on the wrong side, folded and sewn. The results are very beautiful and different potholders.

And what else?

Potholders sewn from scraps are an endless field for imagination. You can create your own drawings or use existing ideas.

For example, you can make a potholder like this with a butterfly, sewn from a central square and stripes around the perimeter.

Or “Rose”, on which strips are sewn in random order and at an angle around the central pentagon.

Whatever potholder you choose, go for it and you will succeed. The main thing is to ensure the accuracy of the patterns and seams, regardless of whether you sew by hand or use a sewing machine. Have fun with your crafts.

Methods of patchwork sewing in home handicrafts.

The simple handicraft of our grandmothers from the remaining scraps of fabric has now turned into a whole section of folk arts and crafts called patchwork. Various techniques for combining multi-colored, varied or regular-shaped pieces allow you to create extraordinarily beautiful and extraordinary products. Very often, patchwork is used for interior decoration.

Patchwork for beginners: different techniques

The first steps in mastering patchwork should begin with the simplest techniques:

• Traditional. The basis is a fabric cloth, onto which sewn patches are applied on the reverse side. The pattern, made up of pieces, is the front side of the product. Most often, potholders and thin blankets are decorated using this method.

Patchwork from fabric strips

Let's look at this technique using the following example.

• From a piece of fabric 1.5 m long, cut out two yellow stripes and the same number of stripes with blue flowers

Preparatory stage 1

• We cut using a ruler with an angle of 60 degrees or an ordinary one with a marking of an angle of 30 degrees.
• Place a blank sheet of Whatman paper on the cut sections
• Matching the bottom ends

Preparatory stage step 2

• Cut the top of the sheet to fit the width of the strip
• To the point 30 of the degree marking on the ruler, we apply the side of the edge of the paper
• Bevel the top of the triangle a little, leaving seam allowances

Preparatory stage 3

• Draw a line along the intended line, cut off the resulting triangle
• We attach the ruler using tape, as shown in the figure.

Preparatory stage 4

Let's get down to the main work

• We fold strips of the same color with the wrong side inward
• Cut off the first triangular piece
• We got two identical triangular shapes, from which we will later create a beautiful napkin
• We cut triangles for the rug in a similar way.

Stage 1

• Next, with the inverted side of the ruler, measure the corner from the opposite part of the border
• Cut along the measured line - two more parts for the napkin
• Change the position of the ruler again, cut off the triangles for the track
• As a result, it is necessary to prepare two corners on one side of the strip for the rug and two on the other for the napkin.
• We do all the manipulations in a similar way from the other edge of the strip, but in mirror image
• We receive finished products
• Next, you can make a padding lining and ribbon edging

The final stage
