An old and rather beautiful patchwork technique is widely in demand at the present time. Translated from English, this is a patchwork work. The application of this technique is very diverse. You can make a patchwork bedspread, carpet, plaid, make a panel, curtains or tablecloth. And this is not the whole list.

By creating such a product, you kill two birds with one stone - you get an original man-made and functional thing, and get rid of a pile of unnecessary patches. The latter is especially true for sewing craftswomen, who, one way or another, constantly have scraps of fabric.

To make something as large as a patchwork bedspread, you will need a bag of patches (depending on the required size) and a lot of patience. The work as a whole is not difficult, but it requires perseverance and endurance.

Available patches need to be sorted. First, select fabrics that are similar in density and thickness. Secondly, think over the color scheme of the product in advance. For beginners, it is better to sew a patchwork bedspread from larger flaps - this will require less accuracy and the result will be achieved faster, which is also important.

Patchwork bedspread can be sewn not from leftover fabrics, but from cut patches of specially purchased fabric. However, they can be made the same shape and size. For simplicity, again, if you are making a patchwork bedspread for the first time, you can use a combination of patches from two types of fabric. This simplifies the process. A patchwork bedspread is best done on a padding lining or on another, made of dense material.

The principle of creating any thing in the patchwork style is about the same. Folding two flaps face to face, sew with a margin of 1 cm for a seam. Thus, first pick up the strips, then connect them together. The resulting design, depending on the purpose, is either attached to the lining, or placed in a frame, or left as such.

Patchwork products always look original. With this technique, you can easily revive any interior. Old furniture will find a "second wind" if you make patchwork upholstery or bedspreads on it. A patchwork panel can become a key detail in the design of a bedroom or living room.

Do not limit your imagination! Consider the location of the flaps in advance. To do this, you can perform a preliminary sketch on a piece of paper. The pattern can be both symmetrical and chaotic. The first will require a limited number of fabric options, the second is better to collect everything that is. Especially carefully it is necessary to think over the layout of the flaps for the panel.

For additional decoration of products, you canuse ribbons, buttons, bows. After all the flaps are assembled into a single canvas, it is necessary to measure the corners and cut off the excess. This is important when it is necessary to obtain an equilateral product. The edges can be finished with zigzag, bias tape and other ways.

If you do not feel the strength to immediately take on such a large product as a bedspread or a blanket, then start with the simplest - patchwork napkins or kitchen potholders. Such nice little things can always be a good gift or please yourself.
