Folk women of native communities in Gujarat used patchwork to make large canopies and tents. For patchwork, various patterns and colours of fabric are cut in different sizes to form a complete piece of work. The interesting thing to note in this type of embroidery is, once completed, the fabric never sags or wrinkles. Today, top designers from the industry are piecing their way into making collections that are based on patchwork. Using luxury silks and fabrics they give sustainability a true definition by making stunning ensembles from what erstwhile was dead stock.
