Toss these in the basket to deal with later. If the shirt is an oxford type with button down collar, use your seam ripper to remove the buttons from the front – keep the buttons! Cut the back yoke, the sleeves, the fronts. Cut off the hems and seams. Seriously, don’t try ripping the shirts, or picking the seams out. Any strips too narrow for 2 . The two inch strips will be pieced together for the binding in a later step.
Remember: The Cabbage Soup Diet is not a long-term program. It is a Seven Day Diet only, meant to help you lose up to ten pounds in a week. This should encourage you.
Here's how it's done. Press and starch the pieces with a hot iron.
Layer the sleeves one on top of the other, and cut 6 . You’ll have 8 of the 1. Reserve the bits for later (toss them in the basket) Next, a front.
If you are like me, you’ll ignore the pockets. Incorporating them into the quilt gives it some charm. If you’re NOT like me (ie: normal) then avoid cutting the pockets. Now you’ll have the last 4 blocks, plus some strips, and some trash. With the back yokes, layer the pieces, and cut 2 . Square off the ends of the strips.
This is what you should have: A total of 2. This time, set aside the backs AND the sleeves of the dark shirts for later.
Concentrate on getting as many 2 . If you are like me, you’ll make sure the label from the yoke is centred right in the middle of the 2 . Again, I think this adds charm. But, if you’re not like me (you know, normal!) then avoid the label. Step TWO – nine patches, and some housecleaning. In this step, the goal is to create a total of 2.
Of your five darks, choose one of them to be the centre patch of the nine patches we’re going to make. I went with red – it was the brightest, and I thought it would provide some . Sew together strips, using your longest 2 1/2. How the lights are placed is irrelevant, but the darks must be placed so that each of 2. Press the seams, light towards dark. Cut the assembled strips into 2 1/2.
Blocks will measure 6 1/2. Press and square them up . You can use them as part of a pieced border that will be introduced in a later step. Go ahead and construct those four extra blocks.
If you don't have enough left overs, don't worry about it, we'll do something different. SOME HOUSEKEEPING: (1) Prepare a border: Of the colour you chose for your centre of the nine patch blocks, sew remaining 2 1/2. You'll need about 5 yards in length. If you don't have 5 yards, cut some extra strips from the sleeves that have been set aside. Fold in half, and press. You'll need about 7 yards in length. If you don't have 7 yards, just wait until a later step.(3) Prepare the backing: piece together the back of the quilt using the backs of the shirts you've set aside.
A total area of 5. You may need to cut large chunks from the sleeves you have set aside. I needed five sleeves plus the seven backs. Step Three : Snowball Blocks Cut 2. Match a dark square into the corners of the 6 1/2.
Place a ruler with the 1/4. It would be impossible to draw a pencil line on the dark fabric, so we're just going to cut here. Stitch, and press corners open. Make 2. 4 identical blocks.
Placement of the darks is IMPORTANT - so pay attention here. Maybe a photo will help you understand the explanation that will follow.
See how the two blue fabrics are placed the same as in the nine patch? Now notice that the black and gold fabrics and flipped to the opposite corners than in the nine patches. Like a mirror image.. Okay - - go for it. Step Four : Begin Assembly. Using the 2. 4 nine patches and 2.
I guess the most important part is the placement of the lights of the snowball blocks. Make sure you have one of each of the two different light fabrics in each big block. Now arrange the blocks in such a way that a hexagon/diamond- y shape is constructed in the centre, all of the same fabric. Now assembly- line sew the smaller blocks into bigger blocks, and press. Once all your blocks are sewn, make sure they are all lying in exactly the same position, then lay them out in a 3 block x 4 block grid, and sew together.
If you haven't done this step yet, Prepare a border: Of the colour you chose for your centre of the nine patch blocks, sew remaining 2 1/2. You'll need about 5 yards in length. If you don't have 5 yards, cut some extra strips from the sleeves that have been set aside.
Apply the first border to the quilt. With all of your left over 2 1/2. Of course, you can sew longer pieces together first, and then cut into 6 1/2. Now, if you had 4 four- patches left, you put those in the corners. Or, if you kept the triangles that we cut off the snowballs, you can piece some pinwheel blocks. Or, choose ANY block that will finish at 6. I simply mitred my corners, but wouldn't blocks look cool?
Apply borders to quilt. Step Seven - Finishing. Y'all ready for this? Now is the time to make your quilt sandwich and quilt as desired. But I should give you a couple of tips, right?
Do you want to use up some leftover batting? Trim two sides straight, butt the edges up together and Zig- Zag stitch where they meet - - be sure the stitch width is as wide as possible, and the stitch length is as long as possible. You kept all the buttons from the shirts, right?
And check out your machine owner's manual.. Of course, you can quilt however you like, and then add some buttons in the border for embellishment.
I hope you will share a photo when you're done!
