The star of their patchwork: tailoring technology

Step 1. Let's get started:

• You need to download templates. Patterns for patchwork are located here. Make sure you don't have scaling installed on your computer.
• It is necessary to prepare strips 2.5 cm wide. In our example, the colors used are coral, yellow, green, gray and dark gray. The strips can be cut wider, then the appearance of your star will change a little.
• For framing, you need a white fabric.

Step 2. Sew a "petal" for the star

Take the cut out paper template. It should have seam allowances. Start this patchwork by picking up strips of fabric. It is convenient to do this from the center. See photo.

Now we sew all the strips together. We iron the seams in one direction. This will make your work look neater.

Flip the stitch face down. Put the template on top and cut it out. In total, you need eight of these blanks per star.

Step 3: Preparing the Background Triangles

Using templates, cut out white triangles. A total of 16 pieces. Eight large and eight small.

Step 4 Assembling the Star

Take a petal and sew two triangles to it. Please compare your work with the photo.

Sew two triangles again to the second petal, but change direction. Connect these two blanks and you will have a finished patchwork block. There are four such blocks.

Recently, such a type of needlework as patchwork (from the English patchwork) has become very popular. This is a type of needlework in which a single piece with a specific pattern is sewn from multi-colored shreds of fabric according to the mosaic principle.

As a result of this exciting process, you can get quite recognizable images of some objects, regular ornaments or unpredictable fancy patterns. With the help of an ordinary needle, thread and fabric, skilled craftswomen create real patchwork masterpieces!

Initially, patches were sewn solely because of material savings, and patchwork had very specific tasks.

Today, patchwork is the desire to create beauty, and most importantly, to enjoy this truly magical action. Decorative panels, kitchen pot holders, quilted bedspreads, stylized patchwork quilts and pillows, as well as fashion clothes for children and adults - delight our eyes.

There are many types and techniques for working with shreds. To learn and understand the basics of patchwork, you need to get acquainted with at least some types of this interesting activity.

Patchwork Basics

Looking at the finished products made using the patchwork technique, it seems that there can be nothing complicated in collecting and sewing patches. Yes, the technology of patchwork is really not that complicated, but sometimes it is not so easy to realize the author's idea. Let's get acquainted with the three main stages of the patchwork technique.

Selection of source material

First you need to collect all the leftovers and scraps of fabric. Then they need to be sorted by texture and color, and then proceed to create a diagram of the future product. Sometimes the opposite is done: first, a pattern is conceived, and then blanks are cut from existing or specially purchased fabrics. In this case, the first and second stages are simply reversed.

Creating a sketch of a future product

This is the second stage, which is not very difficult for experienced craftswomen, because they are fluent in different ways flap stitching.

We give advice to beginner needlewomen: use ready-made schemes from magazines, books or the Internet. They look something like this:

Joining the patches into a single piece

The process of connecting shreds includes several stages:

• stitching of individual fragments
• connection in a canvas of finished blocks
• sewing to the finished fabric of the lining

In addition to stitching patches, there is also a knitted patchwork, where with the help of a hook and a contrasting thread, the patches are connected to each other.

Patchwork tool kit

In addition to fabric and thread, for patchwork you may need:

• special roller knife or scissors
• pins and sewing needles
• pencil or chalk (for drawing on fabric)
• cardboard, thick paper, or soft plastic (for making templates)
• crochet hook
• sewing machine

The set is not complicated, you can easily find everything you need in specialized needlework stores. There are also ready-made kits for patchwork, which, in addition to materials and tools, also include pattern patterns.

Having everything you need, you will be able to create various products using the patchwork technique, from the simplest to real works of art!

Varieties of patchwork

Patchwork includes different kinds and technology. Let's talk about the most popular of them.

Traditional patchwork

The goal of traditional patchwork is to create whole patchworks from individual patches that are folded into geometric patterns. In this technique, small items are sewn, such as potholders for the kitchen and pillow cases, and large ones, such as bedspreads and blankets. A distinctive feature of these products is the front side, made using the patchwork technique and the lining, which can be made from a single piece of fabric.

Crazy Patchwork (Crazy patchwork)

Crazy Patchwork translated from English means crazy patchwork. A characteristic feature of this type of patchwork is the use of free-form figures, often irregular, as well as curved stripes and non-standard applications.

The seams are masked with embroidery, braid, ribbons or lace. In addition, products are often decorated with beads, beads, metal pendants, buttons, etc. Crazy patchwork can be used to make pillows and bedspreads, handbags, decorative panels and clothes.

This type of patchwork is familiar to many needlewomen. The difference from the traditional patchwork is only that in knitted patchwork the patches are not sewn together, but are tied to each other with a crochet thread suitable color. In this case, shreds can be both made of fabric and knitted. The most common products in this technique are large bedspreads on the bed, as well as women's bags.

Eastern and Western traditions were combined in this patchwork technology. Actively using stitch and silk fabrics, they make chic patchwork bedspreads, clothes and decorative panels. The patterns are based on geometric figures: triangles, squares, corners, rhombuses.

Translated from English quilting (quilting) means quilted fabric. The meaning of this needlework technique lies in the fact that two canvases are interconnected by a machine stitch that imitates various patterns. In this case, a soft pad of batting or synthetic winterizer is laid between the two canvases. Products made using the quilting technique are more elegant than those made from scraps of fabric. The same technique can be used to make sofa cushions, kitchen potholders, baby clothes and even decorate an entire room!

Patchwork techniques

At first glance, the technology of stitching patches is simple: you cut and sew, bringing your idea to life. In fact, patchwork requires artistic taste, diligence, perseverance, accuracy, and the ability to sew. The results are sometimes amazing! Don't be afraid to experiment and let your imagination run wild.

Looking at finished products, sometimes you ask yourself: how are different patterns created using the same elements (squares, triangles, stripes, corners, rhombuses)?

It turns out that the point here is in the ways in which these elements are sewn together. Consider the most popular of them.

Technique "Quick squares"

This technique is called so for a reason. It is based on squares that are cut from pre-sewn strips of fabric.

In this case, 4 types of fabric in a contrasting color are taken as the basis.

First, you need to sew together 2 strips of the same color, then another, that is, we sew together blue, and then brown fabric cuts.

Then lay the strips face to face and sew together. Get some kind of sleeve.

The next step is cutting squares. We measure the angle of 45 degrees, applying the ruler first to the upper edge of the sleeve, then to the bottom. So along the entire length of the original strip.

Thus, we will get squares sewn from 4 types of fabric. Such squares are also called prefabricated square blocks or "fast" squares.

By cutting the required amount, you can combine and stitch square blocks in any order. Four squares are enough for a pillow, more will be needed for a blanket (about 24 for a child and 42 for an adult).

Technique "Watercolor"

The technique is quite popular and it also uses squares. The main condition is the selection of the right colors. The combination of fabric from light to dark will create the effect of watercolor painting. As a basis, you can take 7 types of fabric with a medium-sized pattern, for example, a floral print, then it will not be difficult for you to make a beautiful pattern out of them.

Technique "Strip to strip"

The pattern in this case is assembled from multi-colored strips of fabric, the location and combination of which can vary in different ways. big patchwork bedspread or a mischievous rug in the form of parquet boards, which are laid in a zigzag, corners, rhombuses or a ladder, will bring you a lot of pleasant emotions.

Technique "Log hut"

This patchwork method is also based on stripes that gather around a central square and are arranged in a spiral. The central square can be shifted to a corner, then the picture will turn out to be different.

Technique "Magic Triangles"

The triangle is a very common patchwork element. Triangles are easy to work with: you can make simple squares and complex stars from them.

Most often, isosceles triangles are used in patchwork. Connecting the short sides, we get patterns of colorful multi-colored stripes, stitching the long sides - colored squares. Triangle patterns have names such as "Mill", "Diamond", "Star".

Technique "Patchwork corners"

A distinctive feature of this technique is that the corners do not need to be cut, they need to be folded from strips of fabric or squares. The resulting corners are sewn into strips, from which a three-dimensional fabric is then sewn together.

Technique "Chess"

Small squares are stacked in a checkerboard pattern. If we turn the squares upside down, we get a checkerboard of rhombuses.

If desired, you can first sew a few small squares into "chess" blocks, which are later sewn together like rhombuses.

Technique "Russian square"

The assembly of this pattern is quite complicated. It is based on a square, isosceles triangles make up the upper and lower tiers. The next tiers are assembled from triangles and stripes. Tiers can be the same in size, they can "grow" from the center to the edges.

Technique "Honeycomb" or "Grandma's Garden"

The honeycomb-like pattern is assembled from hexagons. It is easy to assemble a flower from hexagons, the middle of which can be distinguished with a button covered with fabric. The assembly master class will help you understand all the intricacies.

Technique "Lyapochikh"

A very peculiar, mischievous, national Russian invention. Colored raw stripes of fabric stitched onto the warp create a voluminous canvas. Here, old knitwear, such as T-shirts, can be used. It is better if the fabric does not crumble much.

The technique of patchwork is so entertaining that you can talk about it non-stop. How many options for patterns, so many techniques exist in patchwork.

Where is patchwork applicable?
