Clever use of old bedding

1) Now this is the only way I will store shoes. I show you what a convenient device I made.
How I did it:
- Screw the rail onto the clothes hanger. Mine is 70 cm long.
- Fold the fabric in half, draw it around and sew the cover. Leave a hole for the hook.
- Smooth strips of non-woven fabric along the edges for rigidity.
- Unscrew the cover. Sew along the edges of the line. Insert the hanger and sew a seam underneath.
- Sew two stripes in two layers. They will contain shoes.
- You can sew decorative tape around the edges.
- Sew these prepared strips at the top.
- Using shoes, try on how much to wrap this pocket. It took me 25 cm.
- Draw everything out and attach the stripes with needles.
- Sew the divisions.
- Turn the bottom width to fit the strip.
All is ready.
The result is a very convenient design. Everything stays smooth and without distortion.
The only inconvenience during sewing is the hanger that is sewn on right away. But in general, everything is easy and simple.
I saved space and organized my shoes neatly!
How do you like this idea?
2) Why do I collect white sheets and pillowcases. I'll tell you and show you what they are for.
Today I would like to invite you to look at two ideas for home textiles made from white bed linen. I got delicate pillowcases 40x40 cm.
- I cut out the fabric as for an ordinary pillowcase. For decoration, I tore the fabric into two strips; it is the torn edges that are needed. The length of each is 90 cm, width 8 cm. I sewed two parallel lines on one edge. She pulled the threads and gathered them into small folds.
- It is important to pull the threads carefully so that they do not break, otherwise you will have to do everything again.
- I sewed a piece of lace onto the pillowcase. Then I sewed on these two flounces.
- Small rose decoration. For her, I prepared a strip with frayed edges, 4 cm wide, twisted it in one direction and gathered it into a circle, the result was a flower.
- I finished the pillow, as usual.
- For the second pillowcase I prepared pieces of stitching and lace. I cut white calico into 12x12 cm squares. I sewed some small openwork parts together to make a square. A total of 16 squares of fabric were needed.
- I sewed them together in patchwork style. That's how it happened.
- I cut out the second part of the pillow and sewed it all together.
These pillowcases have a special chic. create additional comfort and definitely will not go unnoticed. They are especially suitable for romantic people.
3) Why hoard old sheets in the closet. I’ll show you what beauty I transform them into for the benefit of myself and my home.
Today I came up with a good idea to sew napkins for the table from a white sheet. Even if it has already served its purpose, you can easily update it. Whiten, blue and starch the cut pieces. And after ironing, the fabric becomes dense, of very pleasant quality.
If you treat it with bias tape of a different color, you will get elegant napkins for the festive table.
Today I sewed a couple of napkins for myself. Then I will make a complete set of 6 pieces.
First napkin:
- I cut out a square, folded the edges on four sides by 1 cm.
- I marked 3 cm at the corners and cut off triangles of fabric.
- I stitched each corner in this way, stitching to the fold.
- I turned it inside out, and this is what happened.
- Before making the finishing stitch, I took strips of lace and inserted them on 4 sides. I found a small piece of stitching and inserted it, thereby creating a pocket. You can put a spoon or paper napkin there.
Second napkin:
I made it in vintage style.
- I cut out a rectangle and folded it in half, the napkin will be double.
- I tore off two strips with my hands, removed the hanging threads and collected them like a ruffle.
- I inserted it inside the napkin and stitched it. I turned it inside out and made a finishing stitch on 4 sides.
- Decorated with roses from torn strips of fabric. I twisted each strip like a tourniquet and then wrapped it in a circle. I sewed them together.
These napkins look romantic and are perfect for setting a holiday table!
