Hola amigos✨🐟
Hello friends ✨🐟
Here I am again to present you my participation in the Hive Diy community patchwork contest, all the participations are very good, many of us had never applied this technique so you always learn and practice something new.✨
I already knew this technique but honestly it didn't call much my attention, simply because the different prints in this art seem crazy to me, I want things to combine and the shades to be similar so that generated a certain conflict in my mind. I decided to participate to try something different to what I'm used to, I looked in a big bag with pieces of fabric that my mom has and I made a small selection of fabrics with colors that I think that combine in a strange way.
Even though I have a sewing machine, I sewed all the pieces by hand because I was bored, it's a little fish shaped bag that I plan to use to keep my glitter although I would also find it funny to keep inside this little fish my ID and my money because it would be very unexpected to others ha ha.

1- First I made the shape of the fish on a recycled paper and cut it into three pieces that would be the body, head and scales. 🐟
2- Each side carries nine scales, so I cut out thirty-six pieces.🐟 I sewed all the pieces by hand inside out and then flipped them over.🐟 To make them smooth I ironed them.
3- I started to sew the pieces little by little and when I finished I used some silicone to glue them together so that the seam would not show underneath.💙
4- I cut out two pieces of the head together with two pink rectangles, folded them in half and sewed them together.
5- I sewed the body and the part that would be the head first and then joined both parts together.💙
6- finally I put inside the pink fabric a lace ribbon to open and close the fish's mouth.🐟

Final result ✨✨
I hope you liked this cute little fish because it took me forever to assemble all the pieces. The people who are dedicated to this art are incredible, it takes a lot of patience and dedication to make pieces much more complex than this, I've been on the internet to see the amount of things that can be done with simple pieces of fabric that many tend to throw away and it leaves me speechless. It is a technique that also helps a lot to recycle to the maximum which I think is excellent.♻
Los felicito a todos 💙
you very much to this community for taking us out of our safe zone and encouraging us little by little to participate in different initiatives, because honestly I would not have encouraged me to do this craft because it did not seem attractive to me, it was all the publications of my colleagues that encouraged me, I have seen bags, phone cases, tablecloths, etc.
