So far I haven't really made a patchworky style pattern, as I am a little scared it might come out a bit cheesy ;) But maybe one of these will get me past that.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-52133809322586727342019-09-20T02:41:28.545-04:002019-09-20T02:41:28.545-04:00And I forgot to add ...

I have so many scraps, just can't throw them away, and in my head I have so many plans and ideas.<br />Have you looked at Koos van den Akker designs? There is a book - Koos Couture Collage Inspiration and Techniques written by Linda Chang Teufel. There was also an interesting article on his work and techniques in Threads magazine, January 1990. It is not so much that he uses 'scraps', but he mixed and matched so many fabrics with beautiful results. He knew how to put fabrics together. <br />I have never made a garment like his, but would love to have the courage to do so, and wear it.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286531350427715397noreply@blogger.com
