Rotary Cutter Coat Never Risk Your Hands Protect Your Rotary Blade

A Coat For Your Rotary Cutter Cute and Easy To Make.

Keep your rotary cutter snug and warm with this quaint little coat pouch. A fun case to protect the blade and handle. The buttons serve no purpose but to look cute, turning an otherwise regular rotary case into a fun little coat. A great gift for any quilter and don’t forget to make one for yourself.

 

Use fabric scraps for this little project, the largest piece being 9 x 10 1/2″. You’ll be needing two the same size, and the same size piece of batting. Simply cut the shape using the free pattern, and sandwich as directed. Then have fun with a little free motion quilting.

Quilt any motif you would like, or stitch straight lines at right angles to form a chevron. 40-wt thread in a contrasting color is especially effective.

Find some bright and colorful prints, a couple of buttons from your collection and you’ll have a coat within the hour, they’re so easy to do. To make the binding use Steam-a-Seam 2. This double-stick fusible webbing is ideal for quick binding. The tape is sticky but light enough to position and re-position if need be, and goes around curved seams beautifully. It’s the fastest binding technique around! Fold the sides in to make the jacket and choose your buttons!
