Russian traditions

Sewing from pieces is common all over the world. Our ancestors did not remain aloof from this fascinating activity. For centuries, the skills and tricks of the colorful craft have been passed on from mother to daughter:

Lyapochika. This funny word is called an ancient form of creativity. Multi-colored scraps of fabric twisted into a tube are applied to the base. The details are not sewn or hemmed. Scraps of knitwear are suitable for work - they do not fray. This is how rugs and paths are made.
Honeycombs. The drawing is made up of hexagons. Sew together bright fragments in any order or lay out a pattern - flowers, circles. Another name is grandma's garden.
Russian square. Not an easy option. The center of the composition is a square. Then isosceles triangles are sewn in rows and stripes are added.

Home ideas

Bright crafts will decorate your home and bring cheerfulness and good mood to your family’s life. Beginning craftswomen learn from relatively simple things. It’s easy to sew a tablecloth, blanket, rug. Success depends on the desire and talent of the needlewoman.

Colorful pillowcase

Cozy pillows made of colored squares will appeal to all family members. Take any material, calculate how many quadrangles are needed on one side of the pillowcase. If the housewife likes large squares, they make up a canvas of 9-16 elements. A pillow made of small parts looks more contrasting and brighter. Cut the parts, iron them and start assembling:

The fragments are sewn into strips and the seams are ironed.
The resulting ribbons are connected according to the pattern and ironed.
If the pillowcase is unlined, the edges are stitched.
Leave about 20 cm for the hem or sew in a zipper. The fastener is sewn in when three sides are not yet sewn.
You can lay a layer of synthetic padding under the canvas and stitch it with curly patterns.
Connect both parts of the cover, process the seams, and iron.
Place it on the pillow and check the fit. If the pillowcase is larger, it is sutured. A small one is corrected by inserting additional strips on the sides.

Quilt made from patches

A tempting idea is to make your own blanket. The task is not as difficult as it seems at first glance:

You will need scraps of at least five colors: the more, the better, with approximately the same texture and thickness. In order not to make a mistake with the selection of shades, they lay out the details and see which option is better.
Synthetic winterizer, cotton or wool filler is used as insulation. The lining is made of a single color, from natural material.
The patterns are very different, consisting of rhombuses, triangles, squares, stars, flowers. Collect the front side and iron it.
Sweep away the layers, laying the blanket out evenly with the lining facing up. Baste by hand from center to edge. This is an important stage of work: how the product will behave during stitching depends on the correct estimate. Lay as many seams as possible to avoid distortions and unnecessary gatherings on the surface.
They grind one side of the border, it fixes the correct position of the layers. They quilt the blanket, finish finishing the edges with edging - tucking and stitching.
