The patchwork purse project I am going to show you is done with crazy patchwork. I have to explain first what’s Crazy Patchwork.
Crazy Patchwork is a Victorian quilting technique who started in the 1870 and keeps being popular now days. The method is to appliqué pieces of materials, different fabrics, lace and ribbons in the base material, and decorated with fancy stitches, buttons and other decorations. Using a base material makes it easy to appliqué on top any different type of fabrics, like silk or velvet. Crazy patchwork admits any combination of materials you like. You can use a thermo adhesive lining base material and glue the top fabrics to the base in the combination of your choice. Then, you can use different stitches to sew them together, by machine or handsew however you like.
The patchwork purse with crazy patchwork:
You will need two pieces of thermo adhesive base material of 7 1/4 by 5 1/2, coordinated patchwork threads, several scraps for the crazy patchwork, a decorative ribbon for the draw string.
Stick to the base material different pieces of velvet, silk and cotton materials, and add some ribbons, use thermo adhesive paper to stick it together, so the whole thing will be pretty stable.
( If this is your first time doing appliqué and using thermo adhesive paper, here comes a short explanation. Buy a piece of thermo adhesive paper for patchwork in your nearest patchwork supplier
