Thankyou for posting this; I've not heard of Pearl Red Moon before but there's a lot of inspiration on her blogs.
None of the patterns grab me. I'm not keen on the oversized 'fits where it touches' look, I prefer somehting a bit more structured, but I do like the multi fabric designs. Only this morning I was perusing
Joe Browns websiite for ideas and had a look through the stash to see what migh, or might not, go together so this was just what I wanted.
It seems to me that there are several aproaches:
1, Start with a base garment (like her butcher's coats) and applique all sorts of other fabrics onto it.
2, Use a pattern with a million pieces - ie the
Aurana top and fit them all together like a jig-saw puzzle.
3, Use a TNT pattern which you know fits and make up pieces of patchwork big enough for each pattern piece and then make up the garment in the usual way.
Patchwork Polly is her example of this (bottom of that page)
4, Aplique onto a plain garment as in
Theodora about half way down the page
I have tried the third method a couple of times; my skirt in the "look what I've done with my scraps" competition a few weeks ago and a jacket made from old jeans.
