DIY patchwork bags

"Patchwork" - sewing from patches of different colors, prints, sizes and textures. Nowadays, patchwork bags are one of the fashion trends, especially if individual parts of the patches used in the sewing of the bag are added to the decor of your clothes. For example, to sew similar patches on jeans at the bottom or at the thigh, as well as on the back, and on the shelves of a denim jacket, etc. There are many patchwork styles. There is a style of elaborate geometric mosaics, there is a style of "crazy", which means "crazy".

When performing a geometric style, you need to be absolutely precise, and when performing a "crazy" style, you can combine any fabrics, in any order, ie. you are a freelance artist, and you have complete creative freedom. "Patchwork" was also known to our great ... great-grandmothers, especially the villagers, who kept every rag, every shred until they found a new place to use it. Sometimes patchwork scraps were collected during sewing, put in a bag, and then they made patterns for patchwork quilts, rugs, and even sewed new clothes, bedding, curtains, pillows and children's toys. This technique made it possible to usefully recycle old clothes, and saved in difficult times.

If we now look at modern fashion through the eyes of a person who knows the history of at least his people, we will see that the most famous designers are increasingly turning to folk crafts for inspiration. "Patchwork" is about 3000 years old, and this sewing appeared among many peoples of the world. What has been done for centuries by our great ... great-grandmothers and grandfathers, everything consisted of folk wisdom and a vision of the beauty of our native land. For a long time, folk craft was forgotten, but today it has returned again and is in the most honorable place and not only as a hobby. Today, handicraft is valued more than ever. And it should be noted that Italian masters, one of the few, keep folk traditions. Thousands of dollars are paid for single pieces of clothing or accessories, and if you try, you can make some of them in a few evenings with your own hands.
