CRAZY PATCH
|
The material necessary:
* Unbleached linen for the armature cut out in bands of 7 cm broad and 43 length,
* fabric ends of all kinds in harmonized colours, embroidery cotton, gilded wire, wire of color
* sewing machine, pins, switch to embroider, |
|
Small fabric bands are juxtaposed the ones on the others. Some are voluntarily frayed or teared for irregular edges. The unit is maintained in place by pins |
|
The band assembled by pins is passed in the direction length in the sewing machine and sewn by coming and going sinuously and whimsically with wire of different color and points varied, |
|
The solidly sewn band is then embroidered with the hand with, there still, of the points different and wire of variable texture, with random sites |
|
Each band of crazy patch is then sewn right side against right side with two bands of unbleached linen along its edges.
Then, the seams are flattened with iron on back |
|
and the band obtained is sewn to its neighbor in the same way until covering the surface of the cushion or another object which you plan to equip. Of course, instead of bands you can decide to create any other form. It is enough that your crazy patch has quite clear limits: square, heart, circle, petals of flower etc. ; |
