Diy envelope wall vase12/30/2023 ![]() ![]() The I repeated that on the other piece of white fabric. Then I folded it over again one inch, pinned, pressed, and then sewed along the inside fold to keep the hem in place. With the right side of the fabric facing down, I turned the fabric one inch, then pinned, and pressed the fold in place. The inside cut edges are the ones that I sewed in the next step. Then I cut that piece exactly in half so that I had two pieces that were 32.25 inches by 20 inches. I also wanted to make an envelope back, since I think those are way easier and faster than messing with zippers, so I cut the back piece to 32.25 inches by 40 inches. ![]() Since I didn’t have enough of the paisley fabric to do the backs of the two shams, I just used some leftover white fabric for the backs. Or you can avoid that extra step and either make the flanges smaller or live with floppy flanges. Just cut some strips of iron-on interfacing that are slightly wider than the flange, and iron it onto the back of the face fabric on all four edges before sewing the sham together. An iron-on interfacing would be even easier to work with. If you want a larger flange, it’s better to add something between the layers of fabric around the edges to give it more body. The larger the flange, the more of a tendency they’ll have to flop over on top. Smaller flanges stand up and out on their own much better, and have a much more polished, finished look to them. (Note: I actually prefer smaller flanges, like the ones on the navy blue shams in the other bedroom. I made these flanges to be 2.5 inches all the way around, so I cut my face fabric to 32.25 inches square. If you can sew a straight line, I think you’ll be amazed how quick and easy these are.Įuro shams are generally 26 inches square, so you need to start by cutting a square of face fabric that is 26 inches + 1.25 inches (for a standard 5/8″ seam) + the desired width of the flange. I made some similar euro shams for the other bedroom, but they had slightly smaller flanges. ![]() I have one more quick sewing project to share with you from the second condo bedroom makeover - an easy DIY euro sham with flanges. ![]()
