Graphic Sewing is actually patchwork sewing with a modern twist. Patchwork is an old technique where you sew smaller pieces of fabric together into larger pieces, e.g. blankets and tablecloths. The fabric patches are typically cut into various geometric shapes before being sewn together in decorative patterns. We are going to make patterns with a sharp graphic expression which can be used as fabric for bags and purses etc.
