Piece Your Heart Out With 35 Cute Patchwork Patterns: All Free
Welcome to the colorful world of patchwork. I love sewing patchwork because I get to use my scraps! The more you practice matching fabrics, the better you get. It’s also fun to use bundles, or to pick your own fabrics. Another thing I love about patchwork is that you can actually be totally random and the results are still stunning.
This list has warm quilts, clever bags, and cute decorations for your home. Check it out and share your favorite on Instagram; tag me @sewcanshe!
