Patchwork is an ancient textile technique that consists of joining pieces of fabric to create a larger design, often in the form of a blanket, a tablecloth or even clothing.
Zita Chocarro is the founder of Hamabi Design and one of the leading figures in what she calls contemporary patchwork, a modern twist on this traditional art form. In this online course, she teaches her techniques to combine and upcycle fabrics into original textile pieces that are both decorative and functional.
