We use old scraps of fabric. Ideas for the house

Patchwork is an English handicraft, which uses leftovers or small scraps of fabric. Small pieces of fabric are used to sew and mosaic various things, from kitchen mittens to bedding. This technique does not require special skills, only creativity and inspiration.

First, when starting to work in the patchwork technique, you need to prepare even square or pentagonal fabric blanks (coupons). Then they are sewn into long strips and assembled into a complete thing. Let's consider an example of a master class on creating a patchwork quilt.

For the work you will need:

• prepared shaped coupons (no more than 25 cm wide);
• scissors;
• threads;
• sintepon (if you want to insulate the product);
• sewing machine;
• backstitching chalk.

First work out the large pieces of fabric and lay them out evenly along the perimeter you want (ideally 220x240 cm). The layout should be vertical and horizontal, even and harmonious. For example, distribute identical coupons on different parts of the future product, and single-color patches - through one.

Divide the mosaic into 6 sections and sew each block separately, starting with small coupons and ending with larger ones. Combine the finished blocks into a whole cloth by stitching a strip of fabric between the sections. On the edge of the future bedspread stitch trim and iron the seams.

For a warm bedspread: on the back take any fabric (preferably satin) equal to the perimeter of the product. Sew the top, bottom and any side seams. Through the hole evenly stuff 100 grams of padding and stitch completely. The product is ironed out.

Beginner needleworkers will love the ease of creating a kitchen mitt, which will always be needed in the household.

You will need:

• Prepared pieces of fabric (in the form of equal triangles);
• a part of any suitable fabric, equal to the perimeter of the future product;
• interlining;
• scissors;
• ribbon or tape for decoration;
• sewing machine, thread.

From the prepared monochrome fabric, cut out a circle, on which tightly to each other lay out the coupons. Glue fleeces to each flap, then stitch 2 coupons together and iron the seam.

Cut a circle out of the fleece and iron to the triangles, stitch. Stitch on the edges of the braid for decoration and make a small loop. Combine the resulting material with a pre-prepared circle of solid fabric. Finished product iron.
