Be it bags, skirts or tees, patchwork adds to style value. You can find loads of flea markets selling very attractive and vibrantly colored patchwork bags and skirts. They are pocket friendly and sure look trendy. The patchwork art dates bake to the Great Depression period when some old fabrics was recycled to make warm quilts. Even the smallest and the most insignificant piece of cloth was used to make a larger and more useful quilt for the biting cold. Patchwork somehow saw its decline after the World War Second.
