Do you want to create an intriguing, interesting image that would attract prying eyes? There is an unusual solution - this patchwork clothing, which is characterized by variegated colors and simple styles. This style will always lift your spirits, make you stand out from the dull mass, relieve you of depression and allow you to push away your problems. In this look, you will never look boring, and if you wish, you can make your own clothes, avoiding lengthy shopping.
This original style of clothing involves going beyond limited boundaries and avoiding neutral classic options through the patchwork technique, which involves creating clothes from multi-colored scraps. Small pieces of fabric may have differences in print and color, image and pattern, texture and density of the fabric, but they will be the same size. Our grandmothers are very familiar with this technique, creating real works of art in the form of warm and colorful blankets. However, using this technique you can create not only bedding and elements for home decoration. Handbags, tunics and various capes are very popular using the patchwork technique.
The shape of the patches may not be limited to squares. Rectangles, triangles, various rhombuses, which should be combined into a single mosaic, are very relevant. Clothes, shoes and accessories in this style will look extravagant, bold and individual.
There are many products made using the patchwork technique, used in different settings and atmospheres. Of course, patchwork is not entirely suitable for serious events and business meetings, but in everyday life you will find a worthy and practical solution to cheerful products. Let's take a closer look at what things can claim this role.
- Homes Things. Do not forget that at home it is much more pleasant to wear fashionable clothes than a wide T-shirt and sweatpants. Pay attention to the patchwork-style robes that are above the knee. Long models should be avoided, otherwise it will seem to those at home that you have put on your grandmother’s blanket and are defiantly walking around the house in it. It will be nice if the motley bright colors become harmonious with the details of your home, that is, it will repeat the prints and textures of furniture, tablecloths, curtains, decorative pillows, etc. If you yourself are engaged in arranging home comfort, then you probably store pieces of fabric from which you sewed bedspreads , covers, pillowcases. It's time to find a worthy use for them and give yourself a bathrobe or home set. When putting together a set of trousers and a sweater, do one in a patchwork style, and leave the other piece in a single color or matching the print with one of the fragments.
- Clothing in folk or ethnic style. It is in these styles that patchwork is used most often. Using the patchwork technique, you can decorate not only the entire product, but also a separate fragment of it - for example, decorative patches can appear on the sleeves or knees of trousers. You can also create a collar, belt, pocket or other item in patchwork style. Colorful tunics and summer sundresses are very popular.
- Knitten things. The patchwork style is not only the use of pieces of fabric, but also other materials - multi-colored leather and suede, small pieces of yarn of different textures. A knitted dress made from separate fragments, a blouse, a pullover, or a sleeveless vest look very charming. The main thing is to use medium or small pieces so as not to visually make the figure wider. For cool weather, try wearing a poncho, in which individual elements can be knitted not only using knitting needles, but also using a crochet hook.
- Bags. A patchwork bag is a real highlight of the look, especially if you made it yourself. Even if you don’t have a very friendly relationship with a needle and thread, in the store there will always be a handbag made using the patchwork technique that you will definitely like. By the way, one of the advantages of products made using the patchwork technique is their functionality. You can replace a separate element, for example, a piece of worn leather with another, and thereby extend the life of the product.
- Outerwear. Coats, leather jackets and fur coats made using the patchwork technique are trendy. When creating such models, a simple style is used. There are no prominent pockets, buttons, other fasteners or decorative zippers. The patches sewn together into a single composition are already a bright accent that does not need excessive decoration.
- Shoes. Visually, such shoes will make the foot smaller, so if you have large feet, you can confidently try shoes using this technique. If you need to draw attention to your slender long legs, use boots in your look, then all the attention will be at your feet!
- Straps, belts, scarves. These can be scarves that decorate the waist and narrow belts that emphasize a slim figure. You are free to use the scarf in the area where you want to focus attention. If the subject of your pride is your large breasts, then the scarf should also be lowered onto it.
If items made using the technique of joining together multi-colored scraps interest you, then when creating a set you should pay attention to the following rules.
- Clothes should be plain and neutral in color. If you are using a long patchwork sweater, pair it with plain tight-fitting trousers, for example, white. Shoes should also be plain and preferably low-cut, so as not to create unnecessary appearances. The handbag, jewelry, and hats should be in harmony with one of the patches in tone.
- The style of clothing should be simple. This applies to patchwork and other wardrobe items. Completely exclude irregular shapes, asymmetrical cuts and decorative trim.
- It’s better to avoid jewelry, or give preference to simple plastic jewelry, products made of stone, wood and cork. These materials will emphasize the colorfulness of the image.
- Pay attention to your makeup. The emphasis should be on the eyes, the lips should be highlighted with neutral lipstick, the complexion should be even.
- Don't forget about your hair! If you have short hair, it is enough to give it a little volume or, on the contrary, smooth it with a straightener. It is enough to put long hair in a bun, make a ponytail or braid it.
- Pay attention to the prints and texture of the patches. Small pieces of fabric, depending on the pattern, size and material, can add additional volume. Make sure that this volume is exactly where it is needed.
Remember that products made using the patchwork technique are close to the casual style, which means you need to understand in which cases such items should be included in the set, and in which cases you should refuse to wear them. If you are just starting colorful experiments with patchwork looks, try starting with a colorful handbag or scarf.
A little about the Vepsian doll. I’ll immediately disappoint lovers of amulets: the Vepsian doll is not such, it’s just a play doll that a six-year-old girl made for ethnographers in 1975. More precisely, the girl made three play dolls, which are kept in the collection of the Russian Ethnographic Museum in St. Petersburg. For a long time, the museum has had an ethnoclub “Paraskeva”, whose talented craftswomen have the opportunity to work with funds. It was they who, about twenty years ago, brought to light replicas of Vepsian dolls, which “went among the people” and became overgrown with a lot of legends. And today this is the most reliable information about this doll, not only in my opinion, but also in the opinion of famous “masters” of folk dolls.
Beads with a doll attract a lot of attention, so you need to immediately decide in what situations you will wear them. Typically, fabric beads are worn with a folk costume or worn with clothes made of linen or cotton fabric during festivals, summer vacation walks, and master classes. Little girls also love them very much. And they are quite suitable as baby sling beads for baby’s games if, in addition to textile beads, you take simple wooden beads and firmly connect all the components.
So, let's begin. I slightly changed the design of the doll and put the scarf on her head not at the very end of production, but during the process. This turns out, in my opinion, more accurately. If you are making a doll not for beads, but on its own, then a scarf is tied to it at the end of the work. And pay attention that all rectangular parts are cut strictly along the grain or weft thread, so that the raw kula dress “fringes” evenly. The entire doll is tied with one thread, that is, during the work the thread is not cut off and does not come off the ball.
You will need:
1. A rectangular piece of light-colored fabric for the head, approximately 7.5 x 7.5 cm in size (if it’s 7.5 x 8 cm, it’s not a big deal).
2. Three scraps of main fabric for a doll’s dress, 7 x 7 cm.
3. Two scraps of additional fabric for handles, 7 x 7 cm. They are not in the photo, because when I took the photo, I forgot about the handles, I only remembered during the process. I made the handles from the same burgundy fabric as the scarf (triangular flap in the photo).
4. Triangular shawl scrap. To prepare it, take a square with a side of 8 cm and cut it in half diagonally. You will also need a piece of metallic or satin ribbon to imitate a lower headdress.
5. Small rectangular piece for an apron 2.5 x 5 cm.
6. Circles of main and additional fabric for beads with a diameter of approximately 4.5 - 4.7 cm. There should be an even number of them, and how many is at your discretion. I cut out circles by eye, without a template.
7. Wooden, glass or plastic beads. Better with a larger hole.
8. Iris threads and regular reinforced 35LL or 45LL threads in the color of the fabric for beads. My favorite ones are beige ones - they are invisible on almost any fabric.
9. Handcraft needle and darning needle with a large eye, not thick and with a sharp tip.
10. A little padding. The stuffing must be of high quality so that the finished bead can be easily pierced. I use holofiber, but not “balls”, but regular one.
12. Convenient sharp scissors.
Making a doll
1. Form a tight ball of stuffing and place it in the center of the light flap for the head. You also need to prepare “Iris” threads to match the color of the head scarf fabric.
2. We cover the ball with fabric “on the bias”, redistributing all the folds back to the back of the head. The diameter of the head should be approximately 1.5 cm.
3. Place the tail of the ball of thread as shown in the photo, holding the thread tightly.
4. We tightly rewind the resulting head with a thread coming from the ball. Fasten with a loop 2-3 times.
Our securing stitch is the same stitch that is used in knitting at the very beginning of the project, when the loops are cast on the knitting needles. I’ll try to explain “on your fingers” how to do it. Turn your right hand towards you with an open palm, bend your thumb and forefinger and throw a thread over them. The thread goes from the skein first to the thumb, then to the index finger. Bend your little finger and ring finger so that they hold the thread under your thumb, coming from the skein, and the bent middle finger should hold the thread under your index finger. Turn the back of your hand towards you and place the doll’s head into the triangle formed from the thread under your index finger. Tighten the thread.
5. Fold the part of the scarf along the long side to the wrong side by 0.5 cm and place a piece of ribbon on the wrong side.
6. Using all ten fingers, place the scarf over the doll's head and make folds along the sides of the head.
7. Using a thread coming from the ball, wrap the doll’s neck along with the scarf and make a couple of fastening loops. Do not cut the thread.
8. Form two identical balls for the chest and place them on the squares of the main fabric, offset from the center, as in the photo.
9. Cover one of the balls with fabric in the same way as the head, do not forget that the ball should be closer to one of the corners. We will wrap it with a thread that “comes” from the head. Just step back 10-15 cm from your head, hold the ponytail with the thumb of your left hand, and wrap your right hand around your chest. Make a fastening loop.
10. Form the second breast, attach it to the first, wrap and secure the two breasts together.
11. Tape the chest to the workpiece.
On the back, there should be a distance between the head and the waist (thread) equal to the height of the chest, otherwise your doll will end up with her head raised up.
12. Take one of the hand scraps.
13. Fold one of the corners to the wrong side, as shown in the photo.
14. Fold the workpiece in half, as in the photo.
15. Roll the handle blank into an offset tube.
16. Place the handle on the side and tape it to the doll.
17. Twist the second handle, attach and tape it to the doll. Don't forget to loop it a couple of times.
18. On the third square for the dress, fold the corner to the wrong side, drape it slightly, attach and tape the piece to the back of the doll.
19. Place the apron piece right side down on the doll.
20. Wrap the apron around the doll and secure it with a loop a couple of times. In the photo the thread is on the side, but it needs to be brought forward so that it remains under the apron. Now the thread can be cut.
21. Lower the apron down and the doll is ready!
Whether or not to give the doll a face is your choice. I embroidered a face for my doll. If you also decide to embroider, then do not take black thread, take brown. Black thread looks rough, and brown thread seems darker than it actually is.
Making beads
1. Using a seam “over the edge to gather”, gather the circle onto the thread, while using a needle, bending the edge of the circle inward by 2-3 mm. Do not confuse this seam with an over-the-edge seam. In our case, we “pick on” a few stitches on the needle, then pull out the needle and pick up a few stitches again until we reach the knot in a circle.
2. Pull the workpiece a little. Check that all stitches are more or less parallel to each other.
3. Place the already formed ball inside. Experiment with the stuffing; the ball should be tight so that the fabric fits it as best as possible, with a minimum of folds. It is possible that the bead will not work out the first time, then cut out another circle from the fabric and repeat this work, and the old circle will have to be thrown away.
4. Tighten and secure the thread. If there is stuffing sticking out, gently push it inside the bead with the tips of a pair of scissors. If you were unable to pull the circle all the way, sew the bead using the “gossamer” method, connecting the hole with stitches made opposite each other. After you have made the bartack, do not cut the thread immediately, but stick the needle next to the bartack and bring the beads out on the other side. Now cut the thread at the root. The diameter of the finished bead is 1.5-1.7 cm.
Bead assembly
1. Arrange the doll and beads as they will look when finished.
2. Prepare the lace. You can take it ready-made, or you can make it yourself. I twist “Iris” from two equal-length threads. For the lace, you need to measure double the length of the beads, add 20 cm for the doll’s belt and another 20 cm for twisting the thread and knots. Tie two threads and secure the knot with a pin on the back of a chair or sofa. Twist the threads one at a time in the direction of the factory twist. Once I've twisted one thread, I usually hold it with my teeth while I twist the other, so if you can find someone to help you hold the thread, great! Pull the threads together and tie with a knot. Now slowly release, the threads should twist together. Make sure that the threads are twisted with each other, and not with themselves, straighten such incorrect twists.
3. We begin to string the beads. We tie a good knot at the end of the cord and string the first bead that will be at the end of the doll's belt. It's good if you find ready-made beads with a large hole. If not, then each time after stringing a bead from fabric, you will have to pull the cord out of the needle and thread it into the bead in this way, as in the photo below. If the beads are beautiful, then the time spent is justified.
4. Then we pierce the doll’s handle from the back.
5. Turn the doll over and measure the tail of the lace with a bead for the belt to the required length.
6. String the beads one by one. The gather, the ugly side of woven beads, should face down.
7. When all the beads are strung, we pierce the other arm of the doll and bring the needle and cord out from behind the doll. We string the second bead for the belt, put the beads on ourselves or the mannequin, check the length, adjust all the beads and only then tie a knot and cut off the cord.
We tie the ends of the belt in front. This way you can always untie the doll's belt and change the length of the beads.
The beads are ready!
If you have embroidered the doll's face, you can rouge the cheeks. To do this, use a knife to wipe the lead of a regular red pencil into powder and gently apply it to your cheeks with a cotton swab.
All sizes of doll patches and beads are arbitrary, you can experiment and achieve a result that suits you.
Happy creativity!
If earlier the patchwork technique was just one of the ways to use old and unnecessary material, now it is one of the fashion trends demonstrating the creativity and artistic taste of fashionistas. Patchwork style is no longer associated only with patchwork quilts and mended jeans. It gives clothes spectacularity, chic and expressiveness. Despite its popularity, the patchwork technique is quite complex in styling clothes. Therefore, take a closer look at the ideas presented in the photo and the recommendations outlined for creating your own bright style.
Updating your wardrobe with patchwork pieces is a great idea that will add personality to your look. Whether it's patchwork fabrics, patchwork prints or a color block effect that creates the illusion of a patchwork pattern, on-trend designs can create sophisticated and intriguing looks. The patchwork style does not necessarily mean perfect squares, as rectangles are equally popular in modern patchwork clothing designs. Choose from fabric textures such as leather, velvet, cashmere, suede, and denim that will allow you to create a variety of styles. You can experiment with the color block effect in similar textures, or combine different textures, which looks even more bold and expressive in the image.
Patchwork dress will instantly transform your style. It can be patchwork denim or patchwork print. This dress is recommended to be combined with strappy sandals, ankle boots or oxfords, creating classic and stylish ensembles. A dress in a patchwork style and accessories with tassels or fringe will allow you to accentuate the accents of the 70s styles - bohemian and hippie. On the other hand, statement sunglasses and a necklace will highlight the femininity of the look. This spectacular style will attract a lot of attention without being compromising.
Try it on patchwork skirt length mini, midi, maxi, or A-line. A cotton patchwork skirt goes well with a simple blouse or top complemented by a leather jacket. This ensemble will be paired with sandals or sneakers for a walk in the park. You can also include tights for off-season festivals here.
Double denim looks even more impressive with sleeves made in patchwork style. If you're brave enough to try an all-denim ensemble, pair a denim patchwork button-down shirt with denim shorts. Neutral shoes and accessories will balance out a denim ensemble. If the proposed styling option is too bright for you, combine patchwork shirt with neutral trousers. This ensemble is easy to style and practical to wear. It's easy to match it with neutral accessories. For a dressier date night ensemble, pair a patchwork button-down shirt with denim shorts. Then complete the ensemble with beige pumps or sandals.
If you don't want to wear patchwork clothes all day, choose jacket with a unique patchwork pattern on the sleeves. For fans of 70s styles, stylists recommend pairing the jacket with flared jeans or classic skinny jeans. A patchwork denim jacket will add interesting accents to even the simplest look. For intrigue, complement the style with sunglasses and closed sandals. Since the jacket is the key element of the look, the rest of the clothing should be discreet and neutral whenever possible.
Refresh your own denim collection and choose jeans made using patchwork technique. If the patchwork style is new and unexplored for you, start with the simplest, and combine patchwork jeans with a classic white blouse or shirt, complemented by a coat thrown over your shoulders. For a casual or sporty daytime look, pair patchwork jeans with sneakers, a baseball cap and a backpack. When it comes to prints, pair patchwork flared jeans with a classic white blouse or button-down blouse. Simply complete the look with sandals or classic heels.
Combine two trends at the same time by choosing. A jumpsuit may seem appropriate only for a village or a trip out of town, but complemented with a black leather jacket, a feminine bag and loafers, it looks chic in the context of the city.
When it comes to adding femininity and elegance to your style with patchwork designs, look to velvet, fur and wool silhouettes. Patchwork velvet coat looks fashionable and impressive. In this case, it is better to choose the rest of your clothes in black to provide an optimal background for the coat.
Patchwork designs come in a variety of forms, from smart coats and flared jeans to bohemian-inspired jeans. You can now choose any patchwork ensemble you like and demonstrate the trendy style and spectacular image to others.

Patchwork in clothes
Patchwork (patchwork)- the technology is not new. On long winter evenings, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers made colorful patchwork blankets and pillows from pieces of fabric. Nobody thought about style and fashion trends back then - this made it possible to save on fabrics and give a second life to things that could no longer be worn.
Over time, patchwork moved from the arsenal of thrifty housewives to craftswomen, and quickly became a very popular type of needlework. However, its essence remains the same - the creation of products from multi-colored (or multi-textured) materials.

Using pieces of fabric, you can decorate the interior of your home with curtains, decorative pillows, patchwork blankets (patchwork in the interior), or you can replenish your wardrobe with fashionable and original things (patchwork in clothes).
Of course, to create something in the patchwork style, you need a lot of work and time (as, indeed, for any other needlework). It is advisable to select flaps of the same size, but it is desirable that in this kaleidoscope of different colors and textures there is still a dominant color or shade. In principle, you can sew any thing from scraps - be it a dress, skirt, jacket or blouse. In addition to old clothes cut into shreds, you can also use new fabric (now in many stores that sell handicraft supplies, you can buy special fabrics for patchwork - with a variety of prints and a variety of colors). Or buy ready-made fabric with a patchwork pattern.
Here are photos of fur coats (poemwork style) from fashion collection shows:

Patchwork style in modern fashionable clothes (Etro collection)
As a rule, clothes made using the patchwork technique belong to the ethnic style and the boho style. Both of them are now extremely popular. Many world fashion houses show “patchwork” clothes in their collections. Thus, one of the most striking examples is the autumn-winter collection of the Etro brand.
In her collection, Veronica Etro, creative director of the fashion house, relied on a warm palette: it was dominated by gold, beige, tobacco gray, various shades of brown - a cozy color scheme that gives a feeling of home, stability and security. The designer, in search of new ideas for her patchwork-style collection, turned her attention to the luxury of interior decor and, inspired by the unique patterns of carpets, wallpapers and tapestries, created real puzzles, combining silk and leather, suede and velvet, skillfully selecting fabrics with carefully designed prints, thanks to which they acquired a 3D effect.
In order not to distract attention from the resulting “mosaics” from many different materials, the designer chose simple and “clean” silhouettes: loose-fitting tunics and trousers, woolen coat-robes, straight jackets, sheath dresses and floor-length column dresses, slightly flared skirts.
DIY patchwork clothes
Of course, the patchwork from the gallery of Victoria Etro’s works will be difficult to reproduce at home. But if you have the desire and imagination, patchwork is accessible even to novice needlewomen!
The patchwork technique is patchwork geometry. All you have to do is open the closet, take out a pile of old things that you have long forgotten about, and, armed with patchwork tools, rush into battle!

If you are new to this field, you can use ready-made pattern patterns (they can be found in magazines or on handicraft websites). Well, if you are familiar with a needle and thread firsthand, you can try to create a unique thing by developing your own design. One of the most popular ideas is a patchwork skirt. You can make it from old jeans and a sweater. You can also update the jeans themselves using patches by sewing contrasting “patches” on them.
