Resently, I was asked to write a post (yes, yes, my demon of vanity has been fed \ud83d\ude0a) so let\u2019s get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pretty often when I watch tutorials on YT, I strongly believe I can memorize all the details. Well… after a while I realized I was wrong, and the process of trying to remember what was going on, is time consuming. So, not to make it \u201cscrap consuming\u201d either, I experiment with paper towels (you can even sew it). I encourage you guys to try it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here is a short description of my adventures with this particular pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took one sheet of some paper towel.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I folded it in half.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I measured 1\u201d from the fold, then another 0.5\u201d, and then another one at 45\u00b0 to the fold and marked them according to the pattern below.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I cut the lines alternating between one longer cut and one shorter.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I unfold the sheet and the longer piece is then bent in the opposite direction, so that the points meet in the spot marked with the needle.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Since everything worked out on paper so far (obviously not on my first attempt), its time to try this on some fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cut a piece of fabric with double side fusible web, it is  6\u201d wide and about 10-12\u201d long.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I cut another piece of fabric (purple), also with a double-sided fusible web, the same size as the piece before. The colors of the fabrics should contrast one another.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I put them together with the glue sides in and press.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And I do exactly as I did with the paper towel, so I fold it, mark helping lines, cut it and unfold every other element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I put it on the background fabric (a third color).<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I used three very contrasting colors to make everything visible. I have given you only indicative dimensions, but they are easy to adapt and to them meet your requirements and specific dimensions. I think it’s worth experimenting with a paper towel. I\u2019ll leave the method of stitching and quilting to your imagination. Have fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
