Sewing With Left Over Fabric Scraps

 Sewing With Left Over Fabric Scraps



Cut out one 8 inch square.

Cut out one 4 inch square.

Once you have cut out evenly, fold in fourths each one the 8 and 4 inch squares.  Place 4 inch in the center or middle of the 8 inch making sure that they line up in the fourths line prints when opened back up. 

Then take the top and bottom and meet in the center. Sew or stitch a 1/4 inch seam allowance from the fold. Open and press.  Now take the two sides left and right and bring to the center too.  Sew and stitch 1/4 inch seam allowance from the fold.  Open and press. 

Optionals

Cut out a piece of backing fabric the size of your square, as well as 2 pieces of iron on interfacing.  Iron the interfacing to backing and the main square.  Place right sides together and stitch at a 1/4 inch seam allowance, leave a bit of opening for turning inside out.   Turn inside out and ensure corners accordingly,  Close opening by hand. 

Optional 

Top stitch

Cut out a 6 inch piece of paper. 

Gather some scraps of fabric of your choice to use.  Start in the center of the paper with a piece of fabric about  1 - 2 inches in square, then branch of from there with fabric meeting in making 1/4 inch in seam allowings always with right sides of fabric together. The fabric sizes will vary as you add on to fill out the size of the paper.

It is not the best of straight stitch sewing, measurements and shaping but okay for patchwork scraps and playing around with scrappies. 👍🧵🪡✂️

Yellow And Cream Mug Mat Quilt

 Yellow And Cream Mug Mat Quilt 

1.   1 piece of fabric at 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches 

2.   1 rectangle piece of fabric at 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches 

3.   5 square pieces of fabric at 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches 

Piece and stitch together 1 and 2 and press and then stitch all of the 5 squares together.  Take them and then stitch them along the bottom accordingly.  Cut out batting and backing to accommodate the size.   Quilt as you like.   Choose applique of your choice to place on the largest piece. (as seen here I just placed a piece of fabric and then zig zag around it.)















The making of this Mug Mat Quilt was aspired by this video herewith 

https://www.youtube.com/live/hMmSoZqLwi0?si=kPpx8ATzwrfj0XIT"

while viewing it.  I changed it around slightly because starting out I don't have a printer to print out the Tea Pot photo to do applique.   Therefore, all the measurements as given in the instructions of the video remain for the Tea Pot placing and positioning.  I just had a piece of the fabric in my scraps, as seen here and placed it on and then just zigzaged, because I didn't even have any freezer paper as the video instructs to use.   I didn't even cut the piece of fabric or take its measurements to get it to fit.  Next time when making it I can transform it to a tea pot when I get a printer or probably find it in maybe a book, magazine or kids colouring book for tracing.  Tracing brings back childhood days that I used to love tracing and colouring, to which I have not been doing since then.  Like the bible and scriptures say " to renew your youth".  ❤️

Materials

2 Pieces of fabric 40 cm by 20 cm

Velcro

Thread 

Sewing Machine 


Note book envelope or envelope wallet look.


1.     Cut out fabric of 2 pieces at 40 cm by 20 cm.  One for outer and inner which could be considered like a lining.  It doesn't necessarily have to be the same exact fabric for outer and inner.


2.     Place right sides together and stitch a seam allowance of 1/2 inch to the top with leaving a bit open in the center of the seam.


3.     Open seams and press.  Bring together or wrong sides leaving rights side of fabric on the outer.


4.     Make a fold on both sides back and front about 10 cm down from the top of sewed seam. Fold up.


5.     Now draw a line about 3 cm from that fold.


6.     Then fold up again about 6 cm.


7.     Now draw another line about 3 cm from that fold. 


8.     Open up.  Bring the middle fold and meet 3 cm from the bottom.  Bring the other fold and meet on that one. Looks like a hand fan look.


9.     You will noticed that there is a 3 cm left at the bottom, bring that and place in the middle or between as noted in "No 8" above.  Take a pin to hold in place through all.


10.    Fold in half.  On the top draw around at the top in a circular way to form circular roundness to the top.  Open up from the half.


11.    Stitch a 1/2 inch seam around the entire sides.  Trim and cut around the round corners.  Press.


12.    Locate the opening and pull inside out to form the shape of bag.


13.     Press.


14. Top stitch accordingly.


15.     You have two options from this point.  You could leave as is with looking like a notebook can be inserted and it flap over or as I did here turn into a wallet look.  By flapping twice to make wallet look.


16.     Whatever option you use either use velcro or snaps for closure.

Fabric used to make this bag came out of a bundle of  Fat Quarters.



The white fabric was purchased from a local sewing store in Bermuda.
