Great Christmas Gift Ideas Sewing

If things are a bit tight this Christmas, why not extend the sewing machine and make your own gifts Christmas. It need not be a complex piece of clothing. The following suggestions are simple and easy to make. The biggest cost is the fabric, so shop around for debris and discount fabrics.

Elegant table runner and Singles

When you think about it, the table runner is just a simple long rectangle, and place mats are just children. If you buy something nice or printed satin organza material in festive colors, you can whip up a unique and beautiful gift in minutes.

A good size for a table runner is 60 " long by 13 "wide (160 cm by 34 cm o). A good size for an individual is 17 ½" x 12 ½ "(45cm by 32cm o). So for 6 placemats and a table runner, you will need about 2 yards of fabric (two meters).

For each item that you need two pieces of cloth, so double the fabric in half (right sides together) and draw up the pieces of your pattern of use tailor's chalk and a ruler (do not forget to include seam allowance).

Cut, sew after leaving a small space on each piece (in turn the right way). Turn right side out and iron (unfinished sewing board instead). Now run a seam around the entire outer side closest to the edge. Voila!

Ladies Wrap the late (or Day Wrap

Summer nights are great, but sometimes can be a bit cold. Why not make this easy night shelter - a quick and idea Easy gift for Christmas too! Or, if you have a friend with Lupus, why not do a cover during the day so they can be protected from the sun.

Great fabrics that include silk or silk throw, a jacket at night, and gauze fabric that blocks the sun light, but still allows air circulation for a warm day.

The wrap is 31 "wide by 63" long (80 cm by 160 cm o) ½. However, our preference would be along the edges fabric as a border to the shore, so if you find suitable material on a roll with a width slightly greater than these (eg 36 instead of 31 ½ ") go ahead and buy it - a width of little more will not hurt.

Before you buy fabric, you need to decide what decorative element if any, you want to put on the ends of the wrapper. You can leave the edges simply as a rule, you can attach some halo or other decorative band, or you can make his own band (if using a fabric strip easily). If you are buying decorative ribbon or band, have 63 "or 160 cm.

If you decides to make his own band, do not forget to factor that into the amount of material you will need. A median strip of 2 ½ "long (to 7 cm), so you will to purchase 31 ½ "wide by 68" long (or 80cm by 174cm).

Then just stitch the edges to be sewn. On the sides (if you have to sew) that would use a close zigzag stitch (the first test on a small piece of fabric). To end, if you're just making hem, using the same point. If you are connecting the tape or strip, normal hem.

If you are bordering wrap yourself, start unpicking the material at one end, and continue until the strip measures 2 ½ "long (to 7 cm). Now take the clusters of the strip of 1 / 4" wide (1/2cm) and tie a knot so the knot is as close to the edge of the solid tissue as possible. Repeat every 1 / 4 "until you have all the edge nodes. Now repeat with other end of the casing.

Therefore, start sewing - we hope that these ideas inspire you!
