Children will love this self sewn mattress! The sewing idea is filled with 4 pillows. Therefore also the "big ones" may borrow this mattress as a comfortable floor cushion.

themenset_1684_anzeigeblock_2_2er Kombi

Here's how it's done:

For this sewing idea we used 4 fabric cushions of approx. 39 x 39 cm. You need about 1,7 m of a fabrics by the meter with 115 cm width of fabric.

Place the fabric half-folded with the right side up on the worktable and place the 4 cushions evenly distributed between the two layers of fabric. Baste them roughly together at the outer edges. Remove the cushions.

First fold the long wide outer edge into a straight hem and sew it with straight stitch

The next step is to sew the narrow outer edges together

Turn the fabric over, tuck the cushions in again and baste a topstitching seam along the open long outer edge and between the cushions. Now use straight decorative stitching to set the outer seam, taking into account that each cushion has openings of about 8 cm

Satin ribbon - Decoration & Closure

To close these openings, Satin ribbon. Cut 8 even pieces of satin and simply sew them by hand in the middle of each cushion opening. Tie the bow.

This closure is very easy to make, and the cushions can also be removed quickly and easily, for example to wash the fabric.

Extra tip
Coat the fabric of this mattress with ODIF Odicoat Gel to Fabric coating. This gives it a surface similar to Oilcloth : it is water and dirt repellent, protected from UV radiation, can be sewn with a damp cloth
