And in stores and salons - a wide range fabrics with a patchwork pattern - for those who do not dare to do the difficult and painstaking work of selecting companion fabrics and compiling from them details for dresses, coats, blouses and cardigans.
But why did such dresses suddenly become so popular? Is it really just for the reason that sewing from shreds is rapidly gaining more and more new fans in various parts of the world? Of course, not only that. You can also include the possibility of creative self-expression in the chitsla of reasons - for a successfully stitched model proves your excellent taste and mastery in the field of design and sewing techniques. And with the help of strips or parts of a different color or with a different pattern, you can profitably emphasize the dignity of the figure and hide her slight flaws.
Take, for example, a top made of wide stripes intertwined diagonally with each other. Having sewed such a model, you have demonstrated to everyone that you have “golden pens”, and in addition you have made yourself more slim.
Contrasting black - red - white (gray) large colored blocks will immediately attract the attention of others, especially if you use shiny materials, including metallic leather.
Or, for example, you love the style folk - there certainly is where to go for a fantasy. You can use discreet, but charming “chintz” colors of the Russian North, or rich and deep, vibrant and contrasting mixes typical of the inhabitants of Eastern Europe or hot Africa.
Would you like to show everyone that you are excellent embroiderer? For this, it is not necessary to limit yourself to embroidering home furnishings or embroidering the edges of blouses or monograms on handkerchiefs. Create a large embroidery-picture and make it a detail of the front or back of the dress or blouse.
Lovers sport style geometric patterns in the form of stripes of different lengths and widths - vertical, diagonal, horizontal, in combination with other geometric shapes - from circles and ovals to octagonal stars (classic patchwork pattern) and rhombuses or triangles, will certainly be liked.
By the way, a patchwork style dress is also a convenient way to use purchased fabrics without a trace, which are very expensive today. Having at hand plain black t-shirt, you can easily make it a designer model by stitching stripes, pockets and other patterns and details from the remnants of suitable fabrics.
Well, from a pair of old jeans you can create trendy youth casual pants. Or a dress, shirt, topic, vest ...
Do not be afraid to experiment by combining different materials - this technique is super-practical today. Shiny fabric for swimwear can look great next to embossed knitwear, leather with fluffy mohair, striped shirt fabric with gabardine, white cambric with bright polychrome floral lace, and plain cloth with colored silk.
An interesting thing can be sewn from several different, but beautifully combined with each other handkerchiefs - there are a lot of such models on our Photoforum (search word, for example, RFP). Tip: connect them with ribbons of the same color.
The patchwork dress will attract attention to solemn eventif in one model to combine several beautiful and expensive fabrics. Choose fabric flaps depending on which image you want to create: golden brocade goes perfectly with black and gray silk, black velvet - with fabrics decorated with embroidery or natural dense silk with an exquisite pattern.
Well, those who are sufficiently trained in dresses will probably not stop there and will sew a jacket or coat in the style of patchwork.And of course, he will decorate his house with another piece of art from shreds, with embroidery, excellent decoration according to the materials of our website and Burda magazines.
