How to quilt patchwork

When you make a patchwork quilt or similar project, you need a backing, batting and a main fabric. A plain fabric, e.g. cotton canvas, is ideal to use as a backing. To add volume, choose synthetic fibre or cotton batting, or a similar product. The most important thing is that you find the right product for your project and one that adds the volume you need.

Elastic 10mm black 5m

1 cm elastic band? You're welcome!When it comes to elastic bands, there are several things to consider. One of them is how wide you want the elastic to be. Another is how thick it is. Your project and purpose will determine which elastic you should choose. This elastic band is a flat with a width of ten millimetres. It is still considered a narrow elastic band, but with the extra millimetres you also get an elastic band that has a little more. For example, use the elastic in the drawstring at the bottom of the sleeves or to finish off baby and children's trousers so that the trouser legs stay in place while your child tumbles and plays.  This elastic is crocheted, made of polyester/rubber, washable at 40° and do not tumble dry.

The foam has a high tear strength and is moisture resistant, so you get a durable foam for your DIY project.   It has a density of 30, so it's both soft and comfortable. The hardness is 160 N.   Choose the right foam hardness Foam is not just foam. Once you've spent hours sewing the best-looking cover for your project, you need to choose the right foam to put inside.   The hardness of foam is called Newton (N). The higher the Newton, the harder the foam. You can assume that a foam with 100 N or less is soft, around 140 N is medium soft and more than 160 N is hard.   Naturally, your creative project and ideas will determine which hardness to choose, but as a starting point we recommend: 80-130 N for back cushions, bed frames and similar 110-160 N for sleeping mattresses 130-200 N for seat cushions for chairs, sofas and the like   What is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®? OEKO-TEX® is the world-leading label for textiles tested for harmful substances. Once the fabric has achieved a STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification, it is your guarantee it has been tested and approved not to contain any harmful chemicals.

Polystyrene foam pellets 100ltr

Filling for the Bean Bag Use these polystyrene beads for your bean bag to create a comfortable seating experience.  You get 100 litres in a bag, so it takes up a good amount of space in the post and your craft room. But you also need a lot of beads to fill up a bean bag.  If you're more into lounge chairs and pouffes, you can also use bead filling in these.  Search among our sewing patterns and find inspiration. Here, we also provide an overview of how many litres of bead filling each project requires.  And if you "only" need a few beads for refilling, you can also buy a smaller bag – search for "bead filling" to see all the options.  Make Good Use of the Leftovers If you have a few too many polystyrene beads for your floating furniture, you can, for example, make a nursing pillow or use them as filling in decorative figures. Remember that the small beads can easily escape through small holes in your crocheted or knitted project – so it might be a good idea to have an extra thin and tightly sewn bag inside the figure.  How Many Beads Do I Need? It's hard to say because it entirely depends on the size of your project and how filled you want it to be.  To make it easy for you, we've indicated the quantity in our patterns, so you have an idea of what we recommend.  Good to Know These polystyrene beads are made of polystyrene and are, of course, 100% free from brominated flame retardants.  The bag contains beads of various sizes to achieve the best final result. They have a diameter of three to five millimetres.
