Straight pins sewing definition8/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Once I had pieces that looked (to my eye) sensible for a patchwork project-an estimation of approximately 2-3 inches in either direction-I decided on the pattern those pieces would take and started sewing the blocks together. Basically, I cut out a piece of one fabric, then cut other fabric shapes that were similar, but not necessarily exact, in size. ![]() I chose to go with a patchwork design, but I was lenient with how I put the patches together-and even how I cut them. Once I had my out-of-the-fox fabric selected, it was time to start piecing together the front part of my pillow. That elastic quality made this fabric a gamble since I didn’t know how the bunched areas would work when the front and back were sewn together, but remember that I was taking risks with this one! ![]() The fabric choices essentially match in a shared pink color and a general foundation in geometry, but they’re different enough to create a mismatched look.įor the backing, I chose a different pink fabric that comes with elastic-esque lines of fabric. Whereas the pink blocks are solid pieces, the blue ones were already a patchwork design since multiple geometric shapes form the overall design. The most distinctive difference between these two fabrics though could be the pieced-together look of the blue fabric. The primary colors stand out from one another, but the blue fabric includes a similar pink shade to what’s on the pink. The title is a bit misleading since there’s structure and definition to Picasso’s works, but the idea of odd elements that don’t necessarily fit together is a fair representation of what you could create if you try for a more lenient method of making your next sewing project.įor example, a Picasso throw pillow, which I recently did!įirst, I chose fabrics that fit together without matching in the most conventional sense-two patterns that are both based on geometric shapes and lines of color. But at times, it’s kind of fun to loosen the standards and try for something less typical-and the results can be quirky and intriguing! This is what I like to refer to as Picasso Sewing. Sewing can be a precise art of measurements and strategies. ![]()
