Gradually, I collected tips and rules for sewing chenille from various sources. Following these rules, I sewed a rug. For the chenille pattern, I took five layers of fabric. The number of layers of fabric can be from three to seven. The more layers, the more magnificent the chenille will be. The most important rule that I did not mention in the video: the fabric must be cotton!
You can sew clothes (jackets, vests), bags, decorative pillowcases or rugs from chenille. It depends on your imagination and the size of the workpiece. I'm just at the beginning of my craft trajectory, so I'm happy to think about how many discoveries Patchwork has in store for me.
