Last Week!!!!

I always wanted to try to make some Q-Snap covers, so last week I made one! It didn't come out too bad,
this is the back side.

Back side

Front

This one fits the 8x8 size Q-Snaps. I am working on an 11 x 11 one next.

This is for the 8x8

Supplies needed are:

cotton fabric - 33 x 7 inches

elastic - 2 pieces of 1/4 inch elastic cut to 17 inches each

thread, safety pin, scissors, iron, sewing machine, 5 minutes

First I cut the fabric into a 33 x 7 inch piece. Then pressed under 1/4 inch seam allowance on each long edge. I then folded this over again, making a 3/4 inch pocket on each side and pressed again. You can always make the width wider if you have a lot of fabric.

Next sew a pocket onto each side of the fabric

Next cut two pieces of elastic, each 17 inches long and attach a safety pin to one end.

Thread the safety pin through the pocket.....and attach elastic to end of pocket by sewing in place...

after threading remainder of elastic through pocket,  secure elastic at opposite end.

Thread elastic through other  pocket and secure both ends

Now join both ends together to form the cover and sew together

I hope this came out for you! 

Happy Stitching!
