This book is about the author's costume in the technique of patchwork. It is not about blankets and pillows, but about clothing that can be worn every day. Artist Ksenia Dmitrieva and journalist Elena Alexeeva show their method of working with color, rhythm, and cutting. They explain how to select shades so that the item looks harmonious, how to structure the rhythm of stripes, and how to cut the garment to fit the figure. The book contains seven projects: from a small pocket bag to a vest and a beret. Each project includes step-by-step photographs, patterns, and diagrams. Also in the book: the basics of color theory, exercises to develop a sense of rhythm, analysis of typical mistakes, and advice from the artist. The book is addressed to beginners and those who have already tried patchwork but want to sew not decor but clothing.
