Some background: I didn't even own an ironing board until I started sewing two years ago, and then I just picked up a standard, middle-of-the-road ironing board at my nearest Bed, Bath & Beyond. If so, let me tell you about my ironing board cover. There is also a short video to help you out.Friends, have you ever needed to get something done, that you just put off and put off until you really couldn't put it off any longer - and then you still put it off? I’ve outlined the steps to do it in this blog post. If you’ve never created an applique pattern, don’t worry is crazy easy.

The bird on the outside of the zip bag is created using raw edge applique. If you want to make the bag in a more traditional way you can follow the steps on my canvas zipper bag tutorial.

However, I do not find it a problem as zippers don’t need finishing.Īlso, I’ve been blogging and writing sewing patterns for over 12 years, I wanted to try a new technique. I realize that some of you might not prefer this construction technique as the edge of the zipper is left raw. The zipper is left exposed on the inside of the bag. This zip pouch is created by quilting the fabric (the same way you would make a quilt) and using binding to cover the raw edges of the seams. Five 2″ squares when sewn togther equal 8″ not 10″.

Remember to account for a ¼″ seam allowance when you’re figiguing out the size of your finsihed project.

It would be hard to line up an 1 ½″ square on the grid for example. I recommend creating projects with pieces in whole numbers due to this.

You can buy grid interacing by the yard.

That way I can cut out my fabric on my cutting table, then layout the project on the portable ironing pad, and move it ot my ironing board without my fabric piecesin moving around too much in the proccess.

I have a portable ironing pad/cutting mat that I like to use with grid interfacing.

If there’s even an ⅛″ between your fabric squares and you iron on top of it, the fusible glue will stick to your iron and make a mess. For this reason I rcommend using it with a Teflon pressing sheet. A few things to note when working with gridded interfacing I do, however, love the extra body it gives to a bag project. You could, in theory, create an entire quilt using this method, but I don’t particularly like how the interfacing feels in a quilt.

It has a 1″ grid printed on it, making it great to use for patchwork projects. Quilters Grid Interfacing is lightweight interfacing that is fusible on one side. I’ve used it a few times over the years one of my favorite projects I’ve made with grid interfacing is this Patchwork Norweigan Snowflake Pillow. Using Quilters Grid Interfacingĭid you know there was such a thing as gridded interfacing? I didn’t until I stumbled on it a few years ago. The blue fabrics on the bird and the binding are from my new fabric collection Sparker.

There are three different quilted bird patterns available (all are free on the Riley Blake website).įor my project, I’m using the Appliqued Bird Block pattern.

Riley Blake is hosting a blog tour now called “Follow the Blue Bird.” Each participant on tour is creating a project using a pattern for the Riley Blake Bird. Since low-volume fabrics lend them so well to patchwork projects, I thought it would be fun to create a project that featured several prints in the line. Using low-volume fabrics gives your project a bit of extra texture without competing with the main design of your project.

The design features light colors or colors very low in contrast and is meant to blend into the background of a project. When you hear the term Low volume fabrics, people are usually referring to a fabric design that is white or close to white which features an overall design. I designed the small bow print in the line. The collection is a collaboration between myself and several other Riley Blake fabric designers and is called Hush Hush. Recently Riley Blake Designs released a new curated fabric collection featuring all low-volume fabrics. One that would be not too big to fit in my bag on a road trip but large enough to hold enough binding clips to bind a quilt.
