Types of products using the "Lyapachikha" technique
Lyapachikha is an old Russian technique of patchwork sewing, which absolutely does not require any costs, except for threads. Interesting work can be done with this technique.
You will need:
- mesh (you can use a mesh bag for vegetables); - strips of fabrics 1x10 cm.
The knot is double,
figure eight, that is, first tie the ponytails in one direction, then in the other. Tie 2-3 strips per mesh cell, and if the fabrics are thin, then more. Match stripes by color. Geometric patterns can work well on your rug.
The rug is ready!
Tie more knots on the outermost cells of the mesh - for rigidity. Thanks to the nodules, the space between the cells is filled, and the strips of tissue stick out upward. At the end of the work, all tails can be straightened by cutting them with scissors.
How to make a rug with your own hands You will need a mesh with large cells, dense, non-crumbling fabric, scissors. We cut the fabric into strips, strengthen them with a knot on the mesh.
You can make such rugs with fancy patterns, you will need multi-colored strips of fabric.
A rug measuring 100 x 100 cm is extremely easy to make, but it will certainly delight you or your friends to whom you present it. Any fabrics are suitable for blanks, primarily from old worn things, except for dense coats or loose knitted fabrics. Prepare a large number of 1x10 cm strips.
We need to tackle the base for the rug.
We lay out the patchwork blanks on the base and grind one by one, placing them in a row close to each other. The seam passes in the middle of the patchwork blank. Having finished the row, bend the sewn shreds to the left. At the same time, the shreds are folded in half, forming a long and thick pile.
Make the next row at a distance of 5-6 mm from the previous one. (This is the optimal distance so that the rows of shreds support each other and the pile is in an upright position.)
Thus, fill the entire surface with parallel rows of shreds.
If you are making a colorful rug, take the shreds at random, but if you follow a certain pattern, you need to constantly monitor the arrangement of colors.
If you mix shreds of different fabrics of the same color, but different shades and textures, it will turn out to be interesting.
After the entire surface is filled, bend the allowances to the wrong side and sew by hand.

We wind the rest of the fabric onto cardboard (two templates, folded together).
After winding with scissors, cut the fabric along the edges of the wound disk. Move the cardboard slightly apart, tie the fabric in a knot with a piece of fabric between the cardboard. We cut off the ties (we leave about 10-20 cm for the hanger), remove the cardboard.
Fluff the resulting pompom a little, hang it on a hook.

Pillow made of knitted patches
Lyapochikha- one of the patchwork needlework techniques.Etymology of the word
There are spelling variants "Lyapochikha" and "Lyapachikha" (through "a"), both are considered correct. Sometimes there are other names for this technique: "blooper", "blooper", "blooper", "noodles". One way or another, in all the names there is a root "blooper" or "paw", which denotes a piece of tissue. The people called the scraps a lyapok, a blooper, a rag, a lyapochok, and all the words are consonant.
History
It is difficult to find exact evidence of exactly when this technique appeared. But, most likely, the flourishing became possible only with the invention and distribution of sewing machines. Since it is too laborious to make such products by hand, and it is better to carry out other patchwork techniques by hand, for example, such as patchwork (although in the modern reading it is also done on a sewing machine), tapestry or weaving from strips of fabric.
Bedside rug using the blooming technique, patches sewn with a gradual color change
Now many people remember that rugs and bedspreads in this technique were sewn by their grandmothers or great-grandmothers. Earlier evidence is scarce. Therefore, we can talk about the spread and popularity of technology, starting from the first decades. 20th century... Although it was invented, most likely, much earlier.
Rugs using the lyapochikha technique can be found in large numbers among the peoples of the Russian North, there are similar things throughout Russia.
In the modern vision, the blooper is a great way to get rid of unnecessary trash in the house, thus recycling unnecessary or old things. And the products are natural, environmentally friendly.
Technique
a large bedspread using the blooming technique, the patches are sewn with a chaotic color change (photo from the Komnatadljashitja.blogspot.com blog)
The patchwork technique consists in attaching the shreds only in one place (in the center or hooked from the edge), so that the shred is detachable, and many shreds form a kind of "pile".
As a rule, several patches are attached at once with one seam. They are grabbed in the center or from one edge. If it is attached in the center, then sometimes in the place of the seam it is twisted with a "figure eight" for additional volume.
The lines are made in a straight line, or you can make a more intricate pattern, for example, in a spiral or a zigzag. The stitching step is 1-1.5 centimeters. The closer the lines are to each other, the thicker the "patchwork pile" (if the patches are stitched very close, this allows them not to fall, to stand almost upright).
Materials for the blooper
- Scraps of fabric... Small in size, rectangular. The size depends on the design, but no more than 2-3 cm in width and no more than 7 cm in length. Our mothers and grandmothers used chintz shreds. In the modern interpretation of the blooper, the use of knitted patches is popular. They curl very nicely, do not "crumble" (the threads do not come loose), form a larger volume than chintz or satin.
- Sewing machine... It is unproductive to do this by hand.
- The foundation... This is the material to which the patches are sewn. Typically, the material is heavy and dense, such as canvas. Because the base material has to withstand many seams, thin fabric cannot do it. It is good if the base color "matches" the color of at least one shade of the patches.
Stages of work
stages of creating a pillow with plain patches
- Step 1... Prepare shreds, approximate size 4x10cm.
- Step 2... On the base fabric, draw lines in 4-5 cm increments to guide them when stitching begins. The shreds are sewn on without basting.
- Step 3... Attaching shreds. You should try to attach the patch to the center. If you want to create more volume, you can twist the patch in the center or make folds.
- Step 4... Make the same stitches with the shreds parallel side by side, at a distance of 1-2 cm. Try to ensure that the stitched shreds do not fall under the new stitch.
Paintings in the "blooper" technique
Needlewomen with great experience can master the blooper, which will be a pattern, ornament, or even a separate plot.
There are craftswomen who create paintings using the blooper technique. Plot: landscape or still life. For paintings, the shreds are taken much smaller than for ordinary decorative things. Often, for paintings using the blooper technique, a mixture of scraps and pieces of yarn or wool for felting, as well as ribbons, is used. It all depends on the fantasy.
Ideas
- Color solution... There are ideas when scraps made of one matter look beautiful. In the villages of the Russian North, they made a blooper from colored patches (the brighter the better), and the patches alternated in color chaotically. You can apply a certain rhythm of changing the color of the patches, achieving a pattern or ornament.
- Where to apply... Items made of lyapochi can become a unique decoration for an interior in country style, rustic style. Bedside rugs, decorative pillows for the interior, bedspreads, covers for upholstered furniture, seats for chairs and stools are made using the blooming technique. You can decorate some accessories with a fool, for example,
TOTAL
Hello dear readers! Today's post we will devote to a review of an unusual method of patchwork sewing - this is the blooper technique. Thrifty needlewomen are delighted with the special technique of patchwork sewing - a blooper that gives a "second life" to old clothes. Colored patches placed on the canvas according to the idea of the needlewoman make up bright patterns. Are you striving to decorate an apartment in a rustic style, fill it with coziness with the help of handmade decor items? Technique "Lyapochikha" will come in handy here.
How did the blooper technique come about?
The "blooper" patchwork technique originated in peasant times, when every woman had to skillfully sew the whole family from her own hand-woven fabric. It was believed that worn-out clothes should not be thrown away, otherwise the family would lose the favor of higher powers and would be doomed to poverty. Craftswomen tried to save every piece of fabric and use it to decorate the house. Quilts and fluffy rugs made from colored scraps of old clothes were especially popular.
Origin of the term
The term "blooper" goes back to the northern peoples. Translated from German, the designation "der Lappen" means "a piece of cloth, a piece of rag." Inhabitants of the provinces of northern Russia, when speaking of small pieces of fabric, still use the words: "lyapok", "lyapotok", "blooper".
Diffusion of technology
The sewing technique "blooper" received a surge in popularity in the first half of the 20th century, when the population was going through severe economic crises (civil war, dispossession of kulaks, World War II). Textiles were expensive - following the example of their ancestors, household girls tried to use every piece of bright fabric to decorate the house. In the villages, carpets and blankets made using the lyapochikha technique were widespread. And the city craftswomen got the hang of decorating lampshades, cushions, handbags, dresses and even hats in this style!
Modern needlewomen use various decorative elements to create items in the “blooper” style:
- Colored scraps of knitted fabrics.
- Remnants of yarn and dyed wool.
- Multi-colored ribbons, lace.
Beginners create ordinary rugs with a chaotic change of colors and sizes of patches. Experienced craftswomen are able to create complex ornaments and whole patchwork paintings. What used to be considered a folk craft is now the newest trend in the decorative design of urban paintings.
Blooper technique - decorating from patches
Golden pens can create a work of art from any piece of cloth. The essence of the “blooper” technique consists in sewing finely chopped pieces of fabric onto a sturdy base. Any strong fabric is used as a base. Since its entire surface will be covered during processing, old outerwear and even cloth bags are often used as a basis!
Simple option
The simplest type of "blooper" is sewing on strips of fabric in rows. Each piece of fabric is stitched strictly in the middle, then its edges are "folded" and create the required volume. The larger the shreds, the more magnificent the product will be. Craftswomen, who value the aesthetic qualities of the future thing, strive to sew it from scraps of the same size and shape. For this, rectangular pieces are harvested, which are sewn according to the "butterfly" principle - an inconspicuous seam in the middle, and the edges in free floating. The rows are placed very tightly so that the fabric “puffs up” and keeps its shape.
Patterns in the style of "blooper"
To create a pattern or picture in the style of "bloopers" is a rather painstaking task. Initially, markings are applied to the fabric - along the color lines. Then the patches are fixed according to the principle "from the center to the edges". The base colors are pinned in the middle, then the rest of the rows are pinned around them. This type of needlewomen is called "by marking". It is worth starting by placing colored patches over geometric shapes - squares, circles, rectangles. The appearance of the product largely depends on the ability of the craftswoman to correctly combine different colors.
Difficult option
The most sophisticated and sophisticated is the combination of weaving / weaving with "bloopers". The needlewoman needs to prepare in advance the shreds of the desired color and size. During weaving, they are fixed in certain places, weaving the warp into the threads. This option allows you to create volumetric patterns on a homespun product. The texture of the fabric becomes heterogeneous and very elegant.
The future of "blooper" technology
It is quite simple to master the "blooper" technique - it would be time, patience and a sewing machine. However, you can sew a small product in this style by hand. You only need shreds of any non-crumbling fabric (best of all knitted), threads and fabric under the base. The technique allows you to free the female wardrobe from outdated clothes, which means it will be relevant at all times!

Modern patchwork technique in the interior
If your interest still needs to be piqued, just see what opportunities the patchwork technique opens up. Looking at the photos of luxurious works using the patchwork technique, you can see how the master does the jewelry work. Yes, it should be said right away that patchwork sewing is a handicraft for the patient, focused on the result in the future. Today, in any “city of craftsmen”, patchwork rugs, blankets and other interior items are sold out quickly, and the video, where the master demonstrates the secrets of technology, gains hundreds of views.
Patchwork tablecloth
A patchwork tablecloth is a fashionable thing, the idea of which is exploited in more than one designer collection. Why overpay if you can make such a thing yourself from the remaining scraps. Take inspiration from a photo, find the necessary schemes (and schemes may not be needed at all, since the idea is simple), or find a video master class.
The complexity of the sewing technology of such a tablecloth depends on the skills and the amount of decor
You will need:
- Pieces of fabric for the main body;
- Lining fabric;
- Sewing machine;
- Threads;
- Scissors;
- Templates.
First, you measure the dimensions of the table, after which it will be clear how much fabric you need. Then you make templates - paper squares 20 by 20 cm. It is this size that is optional, more or less is possible. But we will still accept the conditional 20 by 20 cm. Cut out the squares from different scraps or cuts of fabric.
Then you proceed like this:
- The edges of the cut parts must be processed so that the threads do not sprinkle;
- Fold the squares in any shape, break them off with pins;
- Sew them into a canvas, then iron the seams;
- The tablecloth, or rather, its front part is almost ready - all that remains is to sew the border.
Look at the examples in the photo, and determine which option is preferable for you
After sewing on the border, the product must be ironed again. Then you take the lining fabric and put the resulting square fabric on it. The lining is connected to the canvas with pins, the excess fabric is cut off, the edge of the edging strip is folded by 2 cm. Everything is sewn and ironed again.
As for the number of fragments in this tablecloth, of course, there can be a lot of them so that they do not literally repeat themselves. But such a bright patchwork can become a product, as they say, "on the occasion." It will be too colorful a thing that should always be in harmony with the interior. And the interior, if it mainly does not consist of such hand-made things, may not "make friends" with such a tablecloth. But! If the patches are not bright, but delicate colors or in pastel colors, this changes the situation.

Patchwork sewing: blooper technique
Lyapochikha is a patchwork sewing technology that everyone is probably familiar with, one way or another. At least, if I saw grandmother's fleecy rugs made of variegated patches. Of course, this technology was created not out of rich imagination and a desire to surprise, but out of poverty. Moreover, from the wise peasant position: it was believed that worn-out clothes should not be thrown away, in this case, the benevolence of the higher powers would not be seen by the family. And poverty, like punishment, will follow such neglect of old clothes.
So women used literally every shred, and how they did it! Not rugs, but pictures came out from under their skillful hands, although then, of course, no one called it all with the modern word "patchwork".
The fleecy rugs from the patchwork of the times of our great-grandmothers have migrated to the present day. Lyapochikha is not just a tribute to traditions, but a technology that can create beautiful and cozy interior items.
Lyapochikha - an ancient patchwork technique that does not require costs
Features of the blooper technique:
- There is a simple technology- the strips are simply sewn in rows. Each piece is sewn in the middle, the edges are bent, creating the desired volume. The splendor of the thing depends on the size of the patches. It is good if the patches are of the same size - then they will be sewn with the "butterfly" type (an inconspicuous stitch in the middle). The rows are made dense so that the fabric holds its shape well.
- The difficult technique is that the blooper is combined with weaving. During weaving, the shreds will be fixed in certain places. That is, it will be possible to create volumetric patterns on the product.
- Patterns in the blooper you can create, but this task requires certain skills. If there is an opportunity to watch photo or video master classes, it is better to do so. And that's why it's difficult: markings are applied to the fabric along the color lines. Then the patches are fixed, the schemes will be like this - from the center to the edges. The base colors will be in the center and the rest around them.
In all cases, the master must understand that such sewing has the most important feature, and it depends only on the needlewoman herself. It is a skillful combination of colors. It determines the final appearance of the work, whether the product will be artistic. Look at the photos of works in this technique, rate the most successful ones, do not expect a quick understanding of all the basics of the technique.
Products in this technique are quite stylish and unusual.
Only when trying yourself in the patchwork technique, always carefully study both patterns and patterns. If you do not know where to start and where to move, the program of the "Patchwork Technique" circle is suitable as a basis. Why a program, and even a mug? Because there is a base there, there is a clear sequence of classes based on the principle of complication, there are the same patterns and patterns.
The program assumes an explanation of the basics, provides methodological references. That is, you will understand which video to watch, which master classes to pay attention to. The program also coordinates your independent work.
Chenille patchwork techniques
The front of the chenille is colored stripes neatly sewn onto some base. But this is not traditional sewing. The differences in chenille are fundamental. Initially, large pieces of fabric with the help of special techniques turn into even stripes, and outwardly look like a pile.
It is believed that chenille is simply a saving technique. What problematic corners she will not fix. For example, wear on jeans. If you ruffle the chenille with a hard enough plastic brush, you get a corduroy effect with a large rib.
Chenille is an imitation of a small set of scraps from strips of fabric
The chenille blank consists of three parts:
- Base or bottom layer;
- Middle layer - several layers of fabric for a volumetric effect and warming things;
- Top layer, decorative.
If we talk about the chenille technology, at first glance it is very complicated, but in fact it is just painstaking work. It is important to assemble the correct chenille blank. To do this, lay the main layer face up on the surface, then, one by one, the fillers. A decorative layer of chenille, laid face up, will complete the workpiece.

Patchwork in watercolor technique
Watercolor is a popular technique that is based on the same squares. Of course, not every master will take up watercolor, as this story, to put it mildly, is long-lasting. But the result is incredible - in any photo you can see that the product using the watercolor technique fully justifies its name.
To choose the right fabric for watercolor, you need:
- So that the fabrics are in harmony in color and pattern;
- Drawings on the fabric should not be large and inconspicuous;
- Floral prints are preferred;
- The transition of shades - from light to dark.
It is the transition of shades from light to dark that makes up the effect reminiscent of watercolor
This is the finest, painstaking work. Watch at least a couple of videos: how the master selects fabrics, how he combines them. It's easier to miscalculate the color of the patches and the print here than anywhere else. Master classes will help you navigate the tricks of a technique such as watercolor. Patterns are also very important, like sewing patterns in work with the smallest detail.
A blanket using the watercolor technique can take a year or more, but the work is worth it.
Patchwork technique
And some more concepts that are invariably associated with patchwork can often be encountered by a novice needlewoman. Again, the circle work program will help you understand where to start, understand the basic terms of patchwork sewing, and send you to certain master classes.
The most important concepts of patchwork sewing:
- Well... The well technique is based on a simple geometric square figure. The square is made up of stripes. Only since this is a well, the strips are called logs. You can collect strips-logs in a well in different ways.
- Stained glass. The more common name is Australian stained glass. Stained glass can be made both by hand and on a sewing machine. To get a real stained glass window, or rather, the stained glass effect, drawings in this technique must have clear boundaries. Usually stained glass in patchwork creates dark or black stripes of oblique inlines. Stained glass is a graphic patchwork.
- Yo-yo... This is the name of not only the technique, but also the assembly unit in this technique, which resembles a dumpling. Both the patterns and patterns are pretty simple.
- Pizza... The pizza technique allows you to use the smallest pieces. The pizza technique also has three layers. The top of the pizza is covered with a layer of any transparent fabric, for example, organza or tulle. The layers are machine-stitched. But pizza, of course, is not a self-sufficient product, but a part of some thing. For example, pizza can form the base of a purse. Although pizza napkins can also decorate the table in the living room. Those who love accelerated actions, and work where not everything is strict, but there are corners and any chaos, will especially like this sewing.
The base of the "well" is always a square
The corners are also worth mentioning. This is a volumetric technique. The corners seem to enliven the product. Usually the corners are used in the manufacture of panels, potholders, rugs. The corners can also be used to surround the blankets. The shreds are not stitched together, the corners allow them to be edged onto the base. And the corners can be invested in each other.

Patchwork is a whole world that has its own classes of difficulty and diagrams, and a number of author's works that can be spied on the video. There are crash courses (including videos) that allow you to quickly get to know the patchwork. Whichever path you choose, do not expect accelerated results. This is a job for the diligent, forward-looking.

Looking at the photos of luxurious works using the patchwork technique, you can see how the master does the jewelry work. Yes, it should be said right away that patchwork sewing is a handicraft for the patient, focused on the result in the future. Today, in any “city of craftsmen”, patchwork rugs, blankets and other interior items are sold out quickly, and the video, where the master demonstrates the secrets of technology, gains hundreds of views.
A patchwork tablecloth is a fashionable thing, the idea of which is exploited in more than one designer collection. Why overpay if you can make such a thing yourself from the remaining scraps. Take inspiration from a photo, find the necessary schemes (and schemes may not be needed at all, since the idea is simple), or find a video master class.
You will need:
- Pieces of fabric for the main body;
- Lining fabric;
- Sewing machine;
- Threads;
- Scissors;
- Templates.
First, you measure the dimensions of the table, after which it will be clear how much fabric you need. Then you make templates - paper squares 20 by 20 cm. It is this size that is optional, more or less is possible. But we will still accept the conditional 20 by 20 cm. Cut out the squares from different scraps or cuts of fabric.
Then you proceed like this:
- The edges of the cut parts must be processed so that the threads do not sprinkle;
- Fold the squares in any shape, break them off with pins;
- Sew them into a canvas, then iron the seams;
- The tablecloth, or rather, its front part is almost ready - all that remains is to sew the border.
After sewing on the border, the product must be ironed again. Then you take the lining fabric and put the resulting square fabric on it. The lining is connected to the canvas with pins, the excess fabric is cut off, the edge of the edging strip is folded by 2 cm. Everything is sewn and ironed again.
As for the number of fragments in this tablecloth, of course, there can be a lot of them so that they do not literally repeat themselves. But such a bright patchwork can become a product, as they say, "on the occasion." It will be too colorful a thing that should always be in harmony with the interior. And the interior, if it mainly does not consist of such hand-made things, may not "make friends" with such a tablecloth. But! If the patches are not bright, but delicate colors or in pastel colors, this changes the situation.

Patchwork sewing: blooper technique
Lyapochikha is a patchwork sewing technology that everyone is probably familiar with, one way or another. At least, if I saw grandmother's fleecy rugs made of variegated patches. Of course, this technology was created not out of rich imagination and a desire to surprise, but out of poverty. Moreover, from the wise peasant position: it was believed that worn-out clothes should not be thrown away, in this case, the benevolence of the higher powers would not be seen by the family. And poverty, like punishment, will follow such neglect of old clothes.
So women used literally every shred, and how they did it! Not rugs, but pictures came out from under their skillful hands, although then, of course, no one called it all with the modern word "patchwork".
The fleecy rugs from the patchwork of the times of our great-grandmothers have migrated to the present day. Lyapochikha is not just a tribute to traditions, but a technology that can create beautiful and cozy interior items.
Features of the blooper technique:
- There is a simple technology- the strips are simply sewn in rows. Each piece is sewn in the middle, the edges are bent, creating the desired volume. The splendor of the thing depends on the size of the patches. It is good if the patches are of the same size - then they will be sewn with the "butterfly" type (an inconspicuous stitch in the middle). The rows are made dense so that the fabric holds its shape well.
- The difficult technique is that the blooper is combined with weaving. During weaving, the shreds will be fixed in certain places. That is, it will be possible to create volumetric patterns on the product.
- Patterns in the blooper you can create, but this task requires certain skills. If there is an opportunity to watch photo or video master classes, it is better to do so. And that's why it's difficult: markings are applied to the fabric along the color lines. Then the patches are fixed, the schemes will be like this - from the center to the edges. The base colors will be in the center and the rest around them.
In all cases, the master must understand that such sewing has the most important feature, and it depends only on the needlewoman herself. It is a skillful combination of colors. It determines the final appearance of the work, whether the product will be artistic. Look at the photos of works in this technique, rate the most successful ones, do not expect a quick understanding of all the basics of the technique.
Only when trying yourself in the patchwork technique, always carefully study both patterns and patterns. If you do not know where to start and where to move, the program of the "Patchwork Technique" circle is suitable as a basis. Why a program, and even a mug? Because there is a base there, there is a clear sequence of classes based on the principle of complication, there are the same patterns and patterns.
The program assumes an explanation of the basics, provides methodological references. That is, you will understand which video to watch, which master classes to pay attention to. The program also coordinates your independent work.
Chenille patchwork techniques
The front of the chenille is colored stripes neatly sewn onto some base. But this is not traditional sewing. The differences in chenille are fundamental. Initially, large pieces of fabric with the help of special techniques turn into even stripes, and outwardly look like a pile.
It is believed that chenille is simply a saving technique. What problematic corners she will not fix. For example, wear on jeans. If you ruffle the chenille with a hard enough plastic brush, you get a corduroy effect with a large rib.
The chenille blank consists of three parts:
- Base or bottom layer;
- Middle layer - several layers of fabric for a volumetric effect and warming things;
- Top layer, decorative.
If we talk about the chenille technology, at first glance it is very complicated, but in fact it is just painstaking work. It is important to assemble the correct chenille blank. To do this, lay the main layer face up on the surface, then, one by one, the fillers. A decorative layer of chenille, laid face up, will complete the workpiece.
