Craft Project

This is a beginners guide to sewing. Any newcomer can give it a go. It is not quilting in the traditional form, but anyone looking to create a baby's quilt can, just by following these simple instructions.

Baby's Quilt

You will need

A large patterned fabric with “Pooh Bear” (or any other design that you like) with an approximate width of 80cm and a length of 110cm (measure cot to determine – allow for 1.5cm seam allowances).

  • A contrasting fabric for the lining and flaps, the same size as the design fabric and an extra 60cm length for the flaps.
  • Polyester filling (dacron) in sheet form, the same size as the designed fabric.
  • A sewing machine
  • Pins
  • Tape Measure
  • Iron and Ironing Board
  • Needle and thread - Thread (I have used white as I want it to blend in with the background colour of the fabric, select which colour you like as you may wish to contrast it with the fabric).

Quilt Step 1:

Cut your lining fabric to suit the same size as the front. Cut the fabric for the flaps in two. Cut the Polyester Filling to match the size of the design fabric. (I have used two layers of filling as it is very cold where I live).

Press all the fabric. While you are doing this, look at the design and decide which areas you would like to highlight.

Quilt Step 3:

Pin one layer of filling to the design piece of fabric around the edges, and regularly through the centre to keep them two pieces together.Then selecting the largest area that you want to highlight, pin around it ready to sew.
