My pillowcases measure 20" wide by 30" long. I dug out my flannelette and was shocked at how much I had. Yup, this is it......after washing every piece of it.
I decided to take one long piece and put it on the long arm and then lay the batting and this time two smaller pieces. I wanted to just give it a go and see how it went. I cut the top piece 40" wide because then I could sub-cut it 20" and I would get two out of the piece. I had given this a lot of thought before I started. I changed my mind a few times on how I could accomplish this without too much waste.
I used a simple meandering pantograph and Fairy Floss thread. It is a variegated thread with pink, blue and yellow. It worked well.
When I was all stitched out, I took the piece off and cut 4 individual pieces. 2 were cut 20" x 24" because that was all I had in length and the other 2 were cut 20" x 30". I took scraps of binding for each one.
The sun was shining but I went out and hung a line under the tree and snapped some photos. Here you go. I did magnify one binding so you can see where I did the break.
There are more to be made. I want that basket empty and a better use of that fabric, I cannot think of.Tomorrow is Camp Day at all Tim Horton's locations across Canada and the United States. 100% of the coffee sales will go to provide a camping experience for a child perhaps in your neighbourhood. It will be a life changing time for most of these children. It's an even that Karl and I have never missed. We add a sandwich and put our change in the camp foundation box at the counter.
Let's all help to make a difference in a child's life. They are our future.
