For quite some time now in our language there was a name of a new hobby – a patchwork. What hides for itself this word unfamiliar to most of people? And whether it is difficult to master this science? On closer examination it turns out that the patchwork is a scrappy sewing. Yes, yes. That scrappy sewing which gave such cosiness to the grandmother's house. Well, admit, unless wasn't at you in the childhood of a bright and veselogoloskutny blanket? Was?
If our grandmothers mastered bases of textile design and coloring because there were no other opportunities to update things, then their granddaughters do it absolutely for other reasons. Today shops propose a set of ready solutions, but to the creative person they aren't pleasant to those that they are ready. And pulls something to remake in own way. And time pulls, why itself to constrain? You best of all know what will be pleasant to you.
So if there is a wish to be engaged in collecting of a bright mosaic from multi-colored fabrics, we will create. For a start we will need to decide what we will create? The circle of application of rags is very wide. From them it is possible to sew the most different bags handbags, cosmetics bags, sacks, covers, pillows, curtains, lamp shades, skirts, vests and a weight more of useful and beautiful things.
In a patchwork there are two main directions: or the thing gathers from many rags which form any repeating ornament or deliberately chaotic, at first sight, but the whirlwind verified on color. The second direction – on fabric a basis is sewn subject application which each element is found from multi-colored fabrics.
Of course, scrappy sewing has initially appeared because it was necessary to attach somehow the remains which were a pity for throwing out. Today's approach differs a little. If we want to receive the real design thing, it is necessary to pick up under it good fabrics, but not to scrape a bottom of the barrel in search of unnecessary stuff.

Fabrics for work have to be, whenever possible, one structure and approximately identical density. Best of all before work to stretch your loskutochka, and then to iron them the warm iron. First, it will allow to find out whether any fabric is painted, and secondly, will exclude such trouble as uneven shrinkage of fabrics in already finished product.
Except rags needles, pins, threads and the sewing machine will be necessary for us. Though it is possible to try to sew a product entirely manually, ноэто will demand truly philosophical relation and the Chinese persistence. If your character doesn't dispose to meditative practicians, it is better to use achievements of a civilization nevertheless.
And, the last according to the list, but not on value – the sketch and a pattern of future product. If you assume to sew a fantasy plaid or other product of a simple form, it is possible to manage the sketch. Bol difficult performed by a thing will demand a full-fledged pattern. It is slightly more than time for work, but result will be such as it is conceived.
So, everything is collected? Means it is time to create beauty! Equal stitches!
