XL Adult (6’5"+) : 4" wide x 82"/88" long
Materials Needed:
Fabric:- Sash Fabric : 100% cotton 2 – 2 1/2 yards
- Pellon Fusible Featherweight Interfacing 2 – 2 1/2 yards
Tools:
- Ruler
- Fabric measuring tape
- Pen
- Fabric Sheers
- Pins
- Sewing Machine
- Sewing Needle
Step One:
Measure across the body where you would like the sash to lay using the fabric measuring tape. Make sure to leave some slack. Add a half inch to the width and length.
My personal measurement is 3 1/2" x 60 1/2." I added a half inch and made it 4" x 61".
Step Two:
Mark the Pellon Fusible Featherweight Interfacing to the same measurements (using the ruler) and cut the interfacing.
Step Three:
Apply the interfacing by ironing it to the fabric chosen for the sash. See interfacing instructions for the correct temperature setting.
Step Four:
Cut the fabric that has been ironed to the interfacing, leave a bit of extra fabric around the edges.
Step Five:
Pin the cut fabric with interfacing to the uncut fabric and use this as a guide to help you cut a second piece.
Step Six:
Pin both pieces of fabric to each other. Keep in mind that the sides facing each other, will ultimately be on the outside of the sash.
Step Seven:
Sew fabric together with a 1/4"seam line, leaving one of the short ends of the sash open.
Step Eight:
Cut corners off and trim all edges clean.
Step Nine:
Turn sash correct side out and iron.
Step Ten:
Tuck in the open edge of the sash and pin in place.
Step Eleven:
Either sew the pinned end closed with the sewing machine or with an inside stitch.
