What fabric is it better to sew bedding from?

The most popular fabric for sewing bedding is cotton. It is natural and inexpensive. In the minds of many, a stereotype has developed that calico, satin and tick are also cotton. But it turns out that these names indicate only a method of weaving threads. And today the calico can be made of anything, including from a pure polyester, so before buying you need to pay attention to the composition of the fabric.

Cotton fabric bedding

Fabrics from flax are natural and durable. Perhaps their only minus is a high price. Often, snow -white bedding is made from this fabric for fashionable hotels. If you set the goal of creating an expensive interior without a synthetic shine and tasteless gilding, then it is Lenon that will most likely be chosen as textiles.

Snow -white bedding

By the way, in the United States, plain linen of linen is very popular, without flowers and other jewelry, so if you want to create an interior in the American style, then it will be just such textiles.

Mixed fabrics - are created at once from several materials, most often it is a mixture of natural fabric and polyester. Thanks to synthetic fibers, Matter rummages less and becomes more wear -resistant, but such a fabric is electrified, passes the air worse and absorbs moisture worse.

Now the finished bedding sets with 3D seals or drawings created specifically for them are very popular. There are such fabrics on free sale, which means that a beautiful bed with a pattern will be sewn with your own hands.

The drawing on the fabric for bedding can be oriented according to the shared or transverse thread. Such a fabric as in the photo above has a standard width, in this case 220 cm, and it needs to be typed “in width”. And from such fabric, both in the photo below you can sew both in the shared and transverse thread.

As a rule, a bed for bedding is sold in rolls with a width of 150 or 220 cm, and if you need to sew a set of bedding of non -standard sizes, then it will be easiest to work with a fabric with a small or abstract pattern, for example, such as in the photo below.

How to cut bedding in size correctly?

Sewing beautiful bedding begins with proper measurement. It is better to measure bedding and make calculations yourself, since the sizes of mattresses, blankets and pillows are non -standard. Manufacturers of finished sets sew their different sizes to learn more about the standard size of bed linen and their possible variations read this article. And here we will tell you how to open bedding yourself.

Buy - good, but sewing is better!

Measure the width and length of the pillows, blankets and mattress. In order not to forget anything, take a leaflet, draw rectangles symbolizing them, and then write down the results of your measurements on it. The dimensions of pillowcases, sheets and duvetails we will calculate for each item separately.

Duvet cover

1. We multiply the width of the blanket by 2, because the duvetel will be on it on both sides
2. Then to the length and width of the blanket you need to add 5-7 cm of allowances to the seams
3. It often happens that a new bed sits perfectly only until the first washing, and then sits down and looks sloppy. Therefore, we will also add an allowance for fabric shrinkage of 4% of its width and length. Such an allowance for shrinkage needs to be done only for natural cotton, because synthetics does not sit down

DIY linen will be original and non -standard

Sheet

1. To the length and width of the sheet, we add the doubled height of the mattress (you need to do only if the mattress rises above the bed)
2. Add the allowance to seams 3 cm in length and width
3. Add the allowance to the free edge (10 cm in length and 30-40 cm in width)
4. And the last to add a allowance for fabric shrinkage, 4% of the length and width

Pillowcase

1. If the pillow has the shape of a square, multiply the length of the pillow by 2, since the pillowcase will be on the pillow on both sides
2. Add to the resulting length 25-30 cm on the gateway, which will hold the pillow
3. Add to the width and length of 5-7 cm per seam
4. Add another 3 cm to the length and width so that the pillowcase is free

On fabrics, all these details can be oriented as shown in the picture below. Please note that the dimensions are better to count on your own.

An example of how you can cut out bedding

A 1.5 meter -wide fabric is suitable only for sewing children's and single -spaced bedding. For a one and a half or larger bed, fabric 2.2 meters wide is suitable. Rolls with matter for bedding are usually produced just such a width.

Bedding seams

For sewing duvetings and pillowcases, a bed seam is used, which is sometimes also called vapillary. This seam turns out to be dense to the touch and very durable, so bedding can be safely washed at any mode of washing machine, nothing will happen to it.

Zaping seam

It looks like a linen seam from the front side, and two white lines will be visible from the wrong side. The same seams are used when jeans are sewn. And the technology for creating a quarrel suture is as follows:

1. We fold two pieces of fabric "face to each other"
2. We move the upper fabric to the side of 5-7 mm, so that a strip of lower fabric is visible
3. We wrap this strip and stir it up
4. We unfold the details so that they lay to us the wrong side and the seam is in the middle
5. We bend the seam to the left and sew it to the canvas
6. The bed seam is ready!

Bed seam

Ideally, the allowances for the seams of the upper and lower parts should be different. For the upper part, this allowance should be equal to the width of the seam (5-7 mm), and for the lower allowance should be like two widths of the seam and another 2-3 mm (total 12-20 mm). But when it comes to bedding, an error of 1-2 cm is invisible, and the details that are sewn by a bed seam can be cut the same size.

For sewing a sheet, as well as free edges of the pillowcases and a duvetail, a seam is used to beamed with a closed cut.

1. We cut the fabric as in the diagram. Do not forget to leave allowances for seams 1 cm (they are indicated green)
2. Sew the angles of the sheet as a bed seam
3. We process the edge of the sheet: we make a wide seam in the bend (about 1.5 cm wide).
4. We set an elastic band into the seam, which was formed along the edge of the sheet. The elastic band is suitable for the usual linen, 0.7 cm thick. The length of the elastic band for the sheet is taken by a meter less than the perimeter of the mattress
