How to sew a bedspread on corner sofa so as not to make a mistake with the pattern, cutout of the lining and filling? What tips should you use when choosing the type of tailoring for yourself?

Choosing - patchwork or quilted?

Sewing a bedspread for a bed or sofa is not a tricky task, especially if you use it as a cape. The pattern is simple and understandable to everyone - it looks like a rectangle the size of the bed. All that remains to be done is to carefully cut the fabric and overcast the edges well.

If the sofa is corner, sewing a blanket becomes difficult. It is also difficult to sew a patchwork quilt, although special techniques for cutting and stitching the pieces make the task easier.

The most difficult thing to do is sewing a quilt. The presence of a lining and padding polyester filler makes it possible to do a high-quality job only by a highly qualified seamstress with extensive experience.

If you have no experience in sewing, it is best to practice. Test work can be carried out on a small, baby blanket. It will take less time and fabric, and you will be able to clearly assess the scope of work that will require sewing a larger product.

Experience

If you order a blanket to be sewn in a studio, do not think that there will be no defects. Sewing a quilt is a very complex process. Even if it seems that there is nothing difficult about stitching fabric with diamonds, this is not so. It is precisely because of the difficulties in working that such a blanket will cost you dearly. Although no one forbids you to sew it yourself!

The dimensions of the bedspread must match the sofa or bed. Each square or diamond should be perfect, each fold of the frill should be well, and most importantly, evenly matched to the edge of the fabric, as can be seen in the photo.

When sewing fabric, you must not make mistakes, as puncture marks may remain on the fabric. When crossing one line of threads with another, you must ensure that the fabric does not stretch behind the thread and does not form overlapping folds.

Pattern

When the decision to sew a blanket with your own hands is made, there is confidence in the quality of the work and the availability of expensive beautiful fabric- you can start! Here are some recommendations on how to sew a cover for a corner sofa:

• The first thing you need is to correctly take measurements of the sofa or bed;
• If your bedspread has a frill, it would be best to calculate the height so that it does not touch the floor. Lying edges, as a rule, quickly become dirty and lose their elegant appearance, and also make the bed visually lower;

• The smaller the diamonds or squares, the more the fabric will decrease in size. Moreover, the fabric is reduced in all directions and it is for these purposes that 3-5 cm are added to the patterns. Even if you add more, or the fabric does not shrink as much as expected, you can always trim off the excess.

Filling and lining

In the process of "quilting" the blanket, each diamond or square will take up more fabric than its own size, so the size of the padding polyester bottom fabric should be larger. Do not forget that it will always be possible to cut off excess, and it would be better to do this with an already quilted blanket.

The same applies to the outer fabric - it will shrink when quilting. Each layer of the blanket must take into account this feature and contain allowances. IN finished form you will need to make the final markings and leave allowances for processing the edges.

To ensure that the edges, insulation and lining do not move relative to each other, you need to sew them along the perimeter with a straight stitch, as shown in the video.

Pattern and basting

Before quilting the fabric with your own hands, draw on paper a pattern of patterns of diamonds or squares, the same as you want to see on the product. The easiest to implement is a pattern of ordinary intersecting straight lines forming squares:

• Using mathematical calculations, draw up a pattern of patterns so that symmetry and proportionality are maintained on all sides of the blanket. Next, transfer everything to the fabric, as shown in the photo. Some craftsmen use template patterns to check the accuracy of the designs transferred to the fabric;
• If the fabric for your blanket is light in color, then you won’t be able to mark the pattern with chalk, and you won’t be able to draw it with a pencil either, so you can only baste it by hand. Sew the future pattern with thread along the entire perimeter of the blanket; stitch along its contours sewing machine. Of course, double work will be done, but for a good result, this is the most reliable way;

• Manually sweeping such a large surface is difficult, but in this case it is completely worth the effort. Working with the machine will be much easier and faster, and the fabric will not shrink much;
• With the help of a special sewing machine you can sew a blanket without shrinkage, without even basting it, as you can see in the photo. But, when there is no such machine, it is unlikely that even a couple of seams will be done well;
• The size of the squares and diamonds determines the speed of the work and its accuracy. The larger the pattern components, the easier it is to sew;
• An unconventional way to sew a no-sew quilt is to sew on the wrong side. In this case, the finishing stitch does not pass along the front side and the bottom fabric is hemmed evenly along the entire seam;
• There may be marks left on the fabric from the teeth of the rack, and while sewing stitches it is necessary to stretch the fabric. In general, this method is not suitable if you have never sewn like this before. Without practice, it may turn out that the patterns will turn out to be disproportionate and asymmetrical.

Frill

To make the bedspread look elegant around the edges, it is better to sew a frill; with its help, the cut and overlaid edges are well hidden, giving the product a finished look.

When choosing a color for the frill, consider the color of the fabric. If you decide to make the frill with falling folds, you need to calculate the size of the required fabric for the frill, taking into account the depth of each fold and the number of them.

Usually, for the frill, they take the fabric left over from the bedspread. In this case, it is important to monitor the location of each piece, paying attention to the color so that, in the end, different areas did not look, as it were, as separate inserts, but took on the appearance of a single composition. You need to sew the pieces inside the fold so that the seams are not visible.

Pillows

Bedspreads for children are especially bright and beautiful. They can contain various drawings, landscapes, animals and cartoon characters, which will create a joyful mood and comfort in the children's room. In addition to the bedspread, you can sew it yourself decorative pillows- Very important element for children's. You can come up with pillows of the most unusual shapes and sizes, the main thing is that they are combined with the bedspread, forming a set.

Let's sum it up

Since sewing a baby blanket is easier, you should start sewing with it for the first time. This will give you the opportunity to evaluate your strengths and clearly see possible disadvantages and take them into account when sewing a large blanket.

The appearance of a blanket on the sofa in the living room is almost always a forced decision. Design modern models is very diverse, sophisticated and luxurious, and rarely does anyone want to cover all this beauty with a piece of fabric. But if small children, furry animals live in the house, and some family members smoke, a blanket is necessary.

The main function of the bedspread is protective. Even in cases where the sofa upholstery is made of special, stain-resistant and easy-to-clean fabrics, there are many other possibilities for making it unusable. And if the owner of the house doesn’t know about this, then kids, cats and dogs will happily demonstrate the whole range of options.

And turning a comfortable sofa, intended for peace and relaxation, into a restricted area is also not the case.

• The bedspread is made of dense, at least half synthetic fabric, resistant to wear and easy to wash. The fabric protects the upholstery from stains - from candies to felt-tip pens, getting wet when spilling water or drinks, mechanical damage– scratches, claw marks and attempts to cut out beautiful stars.
• Some of the upholstery fabrics - leather, synthetic leather - look, of course, luxurious, but they are unpleasantly cold to the touch. And if in warm time Although this is not an inconvenience during the year, on damp autumn evenings or in winter, when it’s cold from just looking outside the window, leather upholstery creates discomfort. To avoid this, a “winter” blanket made of fleecy warming fabric is thrown over the sofa.
• The third function appears when there is a desire or need to change color scheme interior You can, of course, upholster the sofa with another fabric, but such an operation costs a lot. But a bedspread, selected by color and style, will cost much less, but will cope with the task no worse.

The cover performs approximately the same functions. But here it all depends on the design of the sofa and the model. So, if the corner sofa folds out and is used as a bed every day, a cover or cover on it is simply inconvenient. It is pulled tightly onto the product, and taking it off every evening and putting it on in the morning is tedious. In this state of affairs, the bedspread is much more comfortable.

If the sofa is modular, and the owners of the apartment like to use this feature, then the bedspread will not cope with its task, since various configurations The product will need capes of different sizes.

In this case, a cover is placed on each module.

Materials for the product

Not every fabric is suitable for this role. It should be dense and wear-resistant - the product will have to be washed more often the more time small children spend in the living room. It should be easily washable and not prone to absorbing any kind of dirt, since it will have to get acquainted with all possible dyes - from coffee stains to sweets lost in the corners of the sofa.

• It should be durable and even rigid to protect the upholstery from animal claws. With all this, the material should also be pleasant to the touch and look, since we are talking about comfort and beauty. Tapestry fabric is durable, dense, very decorative. The weaving features make claw marks invisible. It washes quite easily, takes quite a long time to dry and is far from delicate to the touch. However, for cases where the living room is combined with the nursery, this

• Velor - despite its delicate velvety surface, is quite resistant to wear, has a warming effect and is very decorative. Velor is made from a mixture of natural and artificial fibers, since allergic reactions it causes extremely rarely, and the strength is quite comparable to fabrics made from synthetic fibers.
• Velvet is the most decorative option. The material is made from silk or cotton fibers, is very delicate and creates a magnificent play of shades. However, it does not have wear resistance. In cases where there are small children in the family, it is better to postpone the purchase of a velvet bedspread for several years.
• Faux fur is most suitable for interiors in ethno, art deco, vintage, loft styles. The product is easy to wash, despite its fluffiness, and is easy to dry. A fur blanket is very cozy, soft and perfectly warms. The cost is not that high - from 1500 rubles.

Do it yourself

• There are two main types of products:
• cape - essentially, it is a piece of fabric large enough to cover some part of the sofa - the seat, part of the seat, back, and so on;

cover - covers part of the sofa, completely covering the upholstery on all sides. The first option, sewing it yourself is as easy as shelling pears: the sofa is divided into conventional sections - or non-conventional, if we are talking about a modular product, they are measured, cut out the required size

Despite its simplicity, the resulting product can look very attractive. For example, one-color contrasting capes against the background of one-color upholstery are an excellent option for minimalism.

The second method is somewhat more difficult to implement. The procedure in this case is as follows.

1. The sofa is mentally divided into separate sections: the seats of the left and right parts, the back of the left and right parts, the seat of the module, if it is not L-shaped, and.
2. Every detail is carefully measured.
3. Based on the measurement data, a pattern is drawn and then transferred to the fabric. The cutting comes with a tolerance for seams and overcasting of 2 cm.

If you have sewing skills, but have never encountered patterns before, you can do differently. Buy cheap fabric for training, or use an old sheet for this, and lay it on parts of the sofa so that the piece of fabric forms a cover. The fabric needs to be straightened well, pinned with needles, the excess cut off - taking into account 2 cm allowances, and basted directly on the sofa. Then the “draft” is removed, ripped out, and the resulting patterns are transferred to the fabric of the bedspread.

1. Assembles the pattern pieces: first the side seams are processed, then the edges are overcast or hemmed. They sew in an elastic band: then the cover holds much better. Instead of an elastic band, you can install a zipper or sew ties.
2. The product is ironed.

Decorative details - bows, appliqués, lace, braid - are selected in accordance with the interior.

When buying new upholstered furniture, housewives try to protect its upholstery from contamination. And the most best protection- this is a blanket. If you have a standard sofa, then choosing a ready-made one will not arise. And it’s quite easy to sew it with your own hands. It is enough to measure the width, length of the seat and back, and then cut out a rectangle of the same dimensions from the selected fabric, taking into account seam allowances. It's no more difficult than sewing a regular sheet. It’s another matter if your sofa is corner, non-standard. You are unlikely to find a ready-made bedspread, and sewing it to order is quite expensive. Another option is to crochet a blanket for a corner sofa, but this work requires a lot of patience, skill and free time. You can try to sew a blanket for a corner sofa with your own hands, and we will tell you how to do this in this article.

Before sewing a bedspread, we recommend trying your hand at sewing a small blanket, for example, for a children’s sofa. Firstly, you will not spoil the fabric, which is not cheap, and, secondly, you will be able to see and correct the nuances that may arise during the sewing process.

If you take the measurements of your sofa incorrectly, then there is no hope that the bedspread sewn according to them will look beautiful. First, measure the length of the sofa itself, as well as the length of its corner part. The second measurement is the width of the seat. If it is different for the main and corner parts, do not forget to take this into account in the calculations. Then, to the measurements taken, you should add 3 to 5 centimeters for allowances. Also, if you want the cover to have a ruffle, measure from the sofa seat to the floor. We do not recommend sewing a frill longer than 5-6 centimeters from the floor so that it does not get dirty. Now you can start creating a pattern for the bedspread for the corner sofa.

The fabric for the bedspread that you plan to sew should be dense and non-marking. We recommend using a plain fabric to avoid problems with matching patterns. Velor, tapestry fabric, and material woven with silk threads are best suited.

More expensive - eco-leather.

When cutting out the top material, do not forget that the stitches will contribute to the shrinkage of the fabric, so the allowances should be at least 3-5 centimeters. If they turn out to be too large, cutting them off is not a problem. These cutting rules apply to both the padding polyester and the bottom of the bedspread.

After you have quilted the blanket, finish the edges by stitching them with a zigzag stitch. This is necessary so that the cover does not “fall off” on the cuts. Then sew the frills to the bottom, having previously swept away the folds of the required size.

Do not forget that the frill strips to be sewn should be cut and sewn in the same direction. If you neglect this rule, then on each section of the frills, depending on the lighting, different highlights will appear, which can spoil appearance your bedspread. Also, be sure to hide the seams that connect the frill strips inside the folds so that it is not obvious that the frill is not solid.

So, you can try on a hand-sewn blanket on the sofa. If it “fits” perfectly, then you did everything right. If folds or creases appear (and this happens in most cases), you should mark the defects with chalk or pins, and then return to the sewing machine.

The second part of the bedspread, intended for the corner part of the sofa, is sewn in a similar way. To give advice, exact dimensions and patterns are impossible, because corner sofas can have any shape.

Practical housewives often use bedspreads in their interiors. Textile product not only protects furniture from abrasion, but also, complementing it, decorates the overall interior. Color shades They allow you to emphasize the decoration and add a certain chic to the furniture.

Blankets

This is a large rectangular canvas made of fabric or fur. Can be sewn to it additional elements to protect the supporting sides of the sofa.

A blanket can partially cover the sofa if it is against the wall, or completely cover the furniture, including the back wall.

Cases

Set of sofa cover elements

This group contains several parts that are placed on the seats, backs and armrests. The downside of the product is that the capes usually slide off the back, and they constantly have to be put back in place.

To prevent similar situation On the back side of the bedspread, the housewife sews loops or buttons with which to secure the cape. Such bedspreads are usually used on a set of furniture (sofa and armchairs).

Types of fabrics

Various ornaments and designs on the canvases make the interior unusual and unique.

Natural fibers (silk, satin or satin fabrics). Currently, polyester fibers are added to such threads. Thanks to them, durable, crease-resistant panels are obtained. They are often used in a strict interior, for example, high-tech.

Fur capes. Fur bedspreads are also in fashion. They create additional luxury in the home and look rich and aesthetically pleasing.
