Set sails, weigh anchor and start sewing! Ahoy sailor! These beautiful boats are very decorative on the windowsill, as table decoration and as loving souvenirs. They are easy to sew and fold and therefore suitable for sewing beginners.
Step-by-step to the sewn boat:
Cut a piece of fabric the size of DIN A4. Glue it to the appliqué fleece and iron it firmly. Now turn the fabric that you have just stuck on and pull off the backing foil of the appliqué fleece. Now glue this side of the fabric to the appliqué fleece and iron it on. Clean the edges with a zig-zag stitch using a sewing machine.
1. Fold the fabric into a double-layered rectangle as in the first picture. The opening points down. Iron after each step
2. Fold the rectangle again to a smaller rectangle and open it again. This will give you a center line that you can use as a guide. Fold the right and left outer top corners to the centerline to create a triangle at the top.
3. Fold the edges upwards, i.e. the protruding sides onto the folded triangles.
4. Now open the triangle and place the corners on top of each other.
5. Place the corners on top of each other and sew each folded edge with zig-zag stitch. Then fold the bottom corners upwards.
6. Now fold the lower corners upwards to form a triangle. Now open the triangle slightly from below and press the corners together to form a square with the tip pointing downwards.
7. Pull the upper outer corners apart and shape the ship a little with your fingers
8. Your cloth boat is ready. Ahoy!
