Sew an Eiffel Tower Heat Bag from A Spoonful of Sugar: National Sewing Month 2013

September 28, 2013 by AllFreeSewing 41 Comments

It’s Day Twenty-Eight of National Sewing Month! Too see the daily blog posts, projects of the day, and more National Sewing Month details, click here.

National Sewing Month 2013

Hi, we are Lisa and Sarah, a mother and daughter team who blog over at A Spoonful of Sugar where we share lots of free sewing tutorials, recipes, and crafty projects.

Eiffel-Tower-Heat-Bag-Main

One of our most popular tutorials is our Winter Warmers Lavender Heat Bags. We love to add a French twist to our projects, so we designed an Eiffel Tower Heat Bag Cover. Featuring an appliqued Eiffel Tower, it is a pillowcase style cover with an internal flap that hides the heat pack from view. Simply heat the pack in the microwave and then carefully place it in the cover for use. The cover can be laundered which extends the life of the heat pack.

An Eiffel Tower Lavender Heat Bag would make a great gift.

Materials:

• Fat Quarter of small floral print

• Fat Quarter of green hounds tooth check

• Small piece of blue gingham

• Small scrap of red print

• Applique film such as Steam a Seam

• Black thread

• White thread

• Small pieces of ribbon (optional)

• Fat quarter of white homespun

• Rice or wheat

• Dried lavender (optional)

Eiffel-Tower-Template

Eiffel-Tower-Heat-Bag

1. Cut fabrics:

Floral print – 11 ½ x 6 ½ inches (front cover)

Green hounds tooth print – 2 ½ x 6 ½ inch (cuff); 6 ½ x 15 ½ inch (back cover)

White homespun – cut 2 rectangles measuring 6 x 12 inches

2. Trace the Eiffel Tower and flag from the template onto paper backing of applique film. Cut out leaving a ½ inch clearance around the design. Iron the Eiffel Tower onto the back of the blue gingham, following manufacturer’s instructions. Cut out outline. Iron the flag shape onto the back of the red print and cut out outline. Position the Eiffel Tower and flag on the blue floral print. Fuse in place following manufacturer’s directions. Top stitch around the shapes three times using black thread. Try not to stitch along the same line to give a sketched appearance.

3. Fold the cuff in half lengthwise. Press. Position the raw edges of the cuff along the top edge of the floral front. Stitch in place using ¼ inch seam allowance. Overlock/serge raw edge. Press. Topstitch 1/8 inch from seam.

4. Optional: decorate the Eiffel tower with a piece of ribbon stitched in place. Cut a 2 ½ inch piece of ribbon/tape folded in half, and stitched to the right long edge to create a tag.

Eiffel-Tower-Heat-Bag-2

5. With the backing fabric, fold under ¼ inch along one short edge. Press. Fold under another ¼ inch. Press. Stitch folded edge in place. Position the backing fabric and the Eiffel Tower front with right sides facing and bottom edges aligned. Fold the top of the backing fabric over to front (as shown). Stitch along bottom and sides. Clip corners. Turn out the right way and press.

Eiffel-Tower-Heat-Bag-3

6. Position the white homespun rectangles together. Stitch around all four sides, leaving a 3 inch gap in one short side. Turn out the right way. Fill with rice or wheat, and lavender. Stitch opening closed.

Tasty Fat Quarter Projects for Fat Tuesday

February 21, 2012 by FaveQuilts Leave a Comment

It’s Fat Tuesday! Usually when folks think about this day, their minds go to food. But this is a crafty place, so let’s indulge in fat quarter projects! These squares of cotton quilting fabric are the perfect size for smaller sewing projects, and I’ve been cooking up a list of savory patterns that should satisfy your appetite.

Fat quarter projects require little material but can inspire a lot of creativity. Make mini mosaics and turn them into kitchen accessories like a mug rug. This Java Reversible Mug Rug will waken your senses and inspire you to combine lots of colors into one amazing little project. A Lined Patchwork Apron will help you keep tidy while cooking or use another free apron pattern and decorate it with patches.

Adorn yourself in fat quarters by making some delicious fabric accessories. Using just one fat quarter you can create a sweet Quilted Headband. It’s such an easy project that you can create one to match every outfit. And while you’re at it, whip up a Fat Quarter Patchwork Scarf. This little number will get you in the mood for a festive Mardi Gras evening!

If you’re going to be fashionable, you might as well dress up your gadgets and do-dads in cute covers. Use this Armband Pouch to hold your iPod or keys in style while you’re exercising or out on the town. Or make this simple Electronics Cozy which can fit any number of gadgets.

Fat quarters don’t have to be just for small projects. Check out FaveQuilts.com for some amazing free quilt patterns. And don’t let quilting scare you if you’ve never done it. This Plus Quilt is a great beginner project and will let you sample a lot of fat quarters. When it comes to crafting with fat quarters, find what suits your taste. Bon appetite!

 

What amazing color combination would you choose for a fat quarter project?
