Northern Hemisphere Spring & Summer 2012 saw a huge return to the homespun patchwork look with a combination of colours & textures which would normally have no partnership.  Accessories have followed the trend with beautiful leather hand bags and jewellery in patchwork. For people completing Hat Academy lessons there is constantly reference to the use of scrap pieces and Lesson 13 utilises these pieces as you learn how to create your own patchwork theme. This piece is in citrus colours but the combination of fabric adds another dimension.
