If you are one of the fans of fashionpatchwork nowadays, then you are probably looking for an opportunity to use this magical technique wherever possible. But do you know that the very idea (as such) of patchwork sewing can be embodied not only in the process of direct "sewing", but also without a needle and thread at all, for example, with the help of knitting needles or a hook, glue, paper and foam. We offer you several original ideas for using patchwork technique to decorate the interior of the house, create fashionable accessories and useful (but beautiful) little things. By the way, to bring these ideas to life, you do not have to be a highly qualified quilter. It is enough to have an idea of the patchwork technique, have artistic taste and a desire to transform your home and decorate your life. So, let's begin.
Ideas for the home
Of course, it’s worth starting with the most traditional one –bedspreads, pillowcases, pillows, blankets, potholders for the kitchen. All this can be done in the patchwork technique, using its most diverse types, ranging from strict English patchwork sewing to crazy (in the literal sense of the word) crazy patchwork. Such interior accessories will definitely add warmth and comfort to your home, and will also become bright and “cheerful” accents. But this is not the only option for using the patchwork technique for the home. It is very fashionable today to make upholstery of upholstered furniture from multi-colored patches. So if your sofas, armchairs and soft chairs with stools are slightly worn out, then do not rush to run to the store for new upholstery fabric: it can be replaced with patchwork fabrics sewn by hand. If you cannot change the upholstery yourself, then limit yourself to new furniture covers, also sewn from patches. By the way, all these ideas can be implemented not only with the help of sewing. If you know how to knit, then patchwork-style covers, capes and pillowcases can also update your furniture. Another option for patchwork sewing ideas is to use the patchwork technique to decorate walls. For example, refuse traditional wallpaper and cover the wall (only one, not all!) with large pieces of multi-colored fabric, or use wallpaper scraps for this purpose. By the way, when decorating walls, you can rely on the strict rules of traditional patchwork and create a strict patchwork pattern on the wall, or you can give preference to crazy patchwork, in which it is not necessary to use strict geometric shapes, but simply “play” with the color and texture of the material. Patchwork ideas for the home can be implemented when making a new lampshade, and when sewing curtains, and even when decorating cute interior trifles: photo frames, boxes, mirrors. True, in this case, you will have to get acquainted with such a technique as patchwork without a needle.
Patchwork without a needle
Another great idea for using technologypatchwork. Patchwork without a needle came to us from Japan, where this art is called Kinusaiga and is used to create pictures from silk scraps. The technology itself has been adapted by modern craftswomen to suit their capabilities and is used to “draw” decorative panels, decorate cabinet furniture, boxes, boxes and any flat hard surfaces. This technique is based on the idea of patchwork sewing, but it is implemented using flat foam, a knife and colored scraps. First, a pattern is applied to the foam, along the borders of which grooves-furrows are cut, individual elements of the pattern are covered with pieces of fabric, the edges of which are tucked into these furrows. If desired, the borders between different fabrics are decorated with tape or cord, but this is already a technique from crazy patchwork. In this way, you can decorate the headboard of a bed (especially a children's bed), and an old rare chest of drawers or a wardrobe, and also make a panel or even a real silk painting using the Kinusaiga technique. And patchwork without a needle is one of the ideas for making souvenirs and Christmas tree decorations, decorating plain boxes or boxes (tin, plastic, wooden and cardboard) for storing small items.
Patchwork for yourself
In search of ideas for using patchwork techniquepatchwork do not forget about yourself. If you can sew or knit, then try to make clothes using patchwork ideas. It can be a light summer skirt, and a smart vest, and even a warm jacket. By the way, when designing such clothes, use old denim items, which will become an excellent material for things made in the patchwork style. In addition to clothes (for yourself or for children), patchwork ideas are quite suitable, for example, for a new bag, which can also be knitted or sewn from scraps. In addition to the bag, a cheerful patchwork coloring can be acquired by: a cosmetic bag, a purse, a phone case, a glasses case and other little things that live in your bag or on the dressing table. Actually, any patchwork ideas are just in the air. Look around: what could you sew or knit to decorate your home or do just for the soul? Patchwork ideas can be used for almost all of this. So use it! Be original and don't ignore any crazy ideas that come to you. Originality, like patchwork, is in fashion now! We recommend reading:
