beveled pad tutorial
this is done in different fabrics and with contrasting thread for clarity
first all the templates
here stacked
the largest template, with wings, is cut out with seam allowance, the others without.
you can see the tracing line on the largest piece, the top of the pad
Type your cut contents here.
stacked
first take the largest part of the core and lay the next largest one on top, pin
zig-zag them together, using the zig-zag to bind the edge of the smaller piece
it should look like this
repeat with the smallest piece
flip it over and it should look like this
time to sew it to the top of the pad
typically I forgot to zig-zag around the whole core to bind it, do that then sew it to the top
time to put it all together, pin the top, good side down, on the backing fabric
cut out roughly and then place on a strip of PUL shiny side up, mine is light green
pin pin pin, .....trim edges
my PUL doesn't line the wings, it can it you want, I find it doesn't matter in the finished pad
sew all around the pad, leaving an opening for turning
trim seam allowances
turn through opening, make sure you turn in between the two good fabrics so the pul will be hidden
like this, believe me it will look better soon
push and smooth out the pad from the inside
pin opening shut like this
pin around the pad, yes I have a pin fetish
stitch around pad and the stitch along side of core to stabilize the pad's shape
while I'm at it I will show how I knock my snaps in
the tools, please excuse lint
I push the prongs of one ring through the fabric using the tool to help it seat well
there is a wooden cutting board under to protect the table, I have knocked in many snaps on it :-)
then sit the snap on the prongs
the put the wide end of the tool on it and hit it a few times, repeat on other side
DONE
