Sewing Patterns for the Patchwork & Vintage Textile Lover

Ideas for Handmade Quilted Gifts

Quilting Daily — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:54:17 GMT

If you're looking for some ideas for handmade quilted gifts , I want to remind you of three of my favorites. Two are make-in-day projects. One is a little more involved, but worth the time, I think.

When you lay the bag down Rebecca, you need to have the bottom seam and the side seam laid one on top of the other, so you have a triangle shape, the point of the triangle is where you sew across. However far you sew from the point of the triangle will be the width of you gusset, you sew at right angles to the point. Hope that makes sense but it is not easy to explain. Check on u tube, they have some great demo's. Good luck

Love this, I have some pieces from my grandmother that I am trying to find a use for. Now I know how to use those old calander towels!! Thanks very cute, and I am teaching my daughter to sew and she will love these.

I use beautiful old hankies to make either butterfly quilts or just use the squares to make another kind of simple quilt. You can see an example on my fb page.

I wanted the pattern for the Prayerr flag project or at least to see what she was referring to.

I've been thinking about making tote bags with some vintage finds, so it was nice to see how you did it.

I've been collecting vintage fabrics, tea towels and other linens, and crocheted doilies and trims. I've sewn crocheted trims to zine covers (you can see my photos on flickr.com - http://flic.kr/p/8AqM5K). I've also used vintage linen doilies and fabrics in a banner (also on flickr: http://flic.kr/p/as1MX5, and http://flic.kr/p/as1SyY are representative photos).

Vivieka,

I am have a hard time visualizing the seam you are making across the bottom to make it flat. Did you by some chance leave part of the process out. Can you give a drawing for what you are doing?

Thanks, Rebecca
