Rick Rack - Thread Therapy for Sewers - Baby Clothes Quilt Pt. 1
How do I make a quilt out of old baby clothes?
I am not an experienced quilter, I barely even sew, but I would love to take my sons clothes from his first year and make them into a keepsake quilt. I don't want it to look like a planned pattern, just lots of pieces with little memories attached. Do I have to hand sew? I'd love to use a machine! Are different fabrics going to make it too hard? How do I attach batting? How do I make it strong enough to last? I know I have a lot of questions, but I think it is such a neat idea and I really want to be able to do this for him! I'd appreciate any tips, advice, or patterns! Thanks!
You will have to stabilize the knits with a light weight iron-on interfacing (sold near the fabric cutting table.) This will keep them from stretching as you sew.
Cut the fabrics for the best utilization. Stitch together using a 1/4" seam allowance. This sounds too narrow, but is the standard that has been used for many years.
If you wish to use a larger seam allowance, it is okay.
Get the top pieced (quilting lingo for matching the blocks and bits and pieces together).
Even the sides. From this you can tell how much batting and fabric for the backing you will need.
The thinner the batting the easier it will be to quilt the layers (top, batting and backing). Don't use craft batting as it will not hold up to being washed in a washing machine.
Once you have the quilt layered, pin to hold all in place. Stitch around the outer edges to help hold them together and then apply the binding.
Make your own binding from cotton or odd pieces of the left overs. French style binding is stronger.
It is a double binding instead of a single binding and will withstand wear and tear.
Cut the binding 2.5" wide, fold and press. Align the raw edges of the binding with the raw edges of the quilt. Stitch the sides first. Fold over to the back and hand stitch or machine stitch in place. Repeat for the top and bottom.
Do some stitching on the top of the quilt to hold the layers together. You can stitch around designs on the clothing, make squiggles or echo the stitch line where the blocks and pieces were sewn together.
Hand embroider the child's name, the date the quilt was made and your name on the back for rememberance.
