ABSTRACT:
A method of making patchwork articles includes the steps of drawing the overall pattern of the patchwork article onto a sheet of paper to produce a master drawing which is an overall pattern of visible lines. The master drawing is then reproduced on flexible paper, preferably tracing paper, which is then cut along the visible lines to form individual paper patterns. Each of the paper patterns is used as a guide for cutting a fabric piece which is of the same general shape as the paper pattern but slightly enlarged on all sides to form a border. The borders of each fabric piece are folded over the paper pattern from which the piece was cut and the borders are held to the paper pattern by temporary stitching. The individual fabric pieces are then joined together using the numbers or other indicia on the paper patterns as a guide, so that the joining of the fabric pieces corresponds in overall design to the original overall design as drawn on the paper. The temporary stitches and the paper patterns are then removed from the patchwork article.
