Tutorial: sew pillow in Patchwork Spiral stile

I wrote already about Patchwork "Spiral" style - Katrinshine: Patchwork - introducing Spiral style. Today by the example of a divan pillow I'll describe the steps to making the finished product. You need fabric scraps, fabric for base, fabric for backing and zipper of suitable length (I used zipper of 40 cm). I wrote earlier about choosing fabrics.
Ho scritto gia uno post dello stile Patchwork “Spiral” – Katrinshine: Patchwork - introducing Spiral style. Oggi su un esempio di cuscino per il divano vi spiego come realizzarlo. Vi servono scampoli di stoffa, stoffa per base, stoffa per il retro di cuscino e una cerniera di lungezza adatta (ho usato una cerniera di 40 cm). Come scegliere le stoffe ed i colori l’ho gia scritto nel precedente post.

Images show you the steps to making patchwork detail:
Sulle foto potete vedere succedenza delle operazioni:

The finished project must be approximately such picture at the end of work:
Alla fine deve essere circa come quello della foto:

Cut out the backing of the pillow. Place it together with front patchwork detail. Pin it and sew together leaving one side open for zipper.
Tagliate il retro della fodera. Componete il retro con la parte davanti fatta in patchwork. Attaccatele con gli spilli e cucite insieme, lasciando un lato non cucito per la cerniera.

Invert and press the seams, then baste the zipper and sew it using a special foot.
Rovesciate e date una ripassata col ferro alle cuciture. Imbastite la cerniera e cucite insieme usando premistoffa per le cerniere.

Pillow-case is finished.
La fodera e pronta e adesso possiamo mettere il cuscino dentro.

Tablecloth, pillows - peasant details of my sitting room

Tablecloth, pillows on the divan, frames on the table – this pleasant details give at the home a lively view, underline his individuality. Tablecloth is a decoration of any table. Of course it’s possible to buy serial pieces, but handmade will be unique. Therefore i decided to decorate the table in a sitting room with new tablecloth. In our sitting room we have antique furniture, that’s why I selected convenient fabric – this is vinous damask silk with golden pattern in baroque stile. And so that sitting room has view complete, I decided to make pillow for divan from pieces remains. Pillows for divan give at the room particular warmth and cosiness, help to dilute boring interior. Furthermore on them it’s comfortably overlay and be seated.

Tovaglie, cuscini sul divano, cornici sul tavolo – sono piacevoli dettagli che danno per casa l’aria vivace, sottolineano sua individualità. Tovaglia è decorazione per quasiasi tavola. Certo, si pou comprare gia pronta, ma fatta a mano sarà un pezzo unico. Percio ho deciso di ornare la tavola in salotto con nuova tovaglia. I mibili in salotto sono antici, percio ho scelto la stoffa in stile conveniente – seta damascata di colore bordo con disegni in stile barocco. E per dare al salotto l’aria compiuta ho deciso fare della stoffa resta cuscino per divano. Cuscini per divano danno alla stanza particolare accoglienza e calore, aiutano a diluire interno malinconico. E anche sui cuscini sempre comodo sedere o appoggiarsi.
