Handmade dorm quilts make interesting graduation craft ideas and useful college quilting craft projects.
Handmade Dorm Quilts
If you know the basic sewing skills and have a
creative mind, then you can make beautiful quilts, pillow cases,
blankets and clothing for your home, yourself. A handmade piece of
clothing or comforter not only reduces the cost of purchasing the same
from a shop, but also adds a personal touch to the interior décor
of your home. Moreover, you can save a lot of money, because you have to
purchase only a few supplies (the raw materials) from the stores. If you
like making quilts, then you can finish the project on your own or you
can just prepare the quilt covering and let the quilt guild take it
over. College graduates will find your dorm quilts a very practical
gift, especially when their name is embroidered on it. Check out the
article and get the instructions for making handmade dorm quilts.
