Pizza technique with Heat'n'Bond – great for fabric scraps!
As a sewing fan, you'll know the feeling: fabric scraps as far as the eye can see. And no idea what to do with those tiny little bits? The magic word is: pizza technique! For this, you can use even the smallest snippets - and no matter what colors you throw together, the result in the end is simply amazing!Pizza technique with Heat'n'Bond is genius for conjuring up funky little bags à la Bollywood! In my interview with sewing scene personality Susi (key phrase: Can you make a living from sewing?), I already brought up the topic of boho – the finished pizza technique can be used for this too: stylish trendy pieces in a boho style! Yay! Facebook user Sybille calls it the re-design look for favorite little scraps. Tee-hee. Totally cute! :) Bags, quick cosmetic bags, wall art or pencil cases, book covers – the genius of the pizza technique is not just that you can perfectly utilize your fabric scraps, but also that you turn them into unmistakable unique items. Because this technique comes from the American patchwork scene, I also relied on the original Heat'n'Bond Ultra Hold:

For the pizza technique with Heat'n'Bond, you will need the following materials
- colorful fabric scraps
- Vliesofix* or Heat'n'Bond (I used Heat'n'Bond Ultra Hold*, because it provides a stronger hold than Vliesofix; furthermore, I don't have to reinforce the fabric before sewing – the Heat'n'Bond takes care of that; I ordered it for around 5 euros on Amazon)
- Decorative interfacing* in the desired color (organza* or tulle* also work great)
- 1 piece of cotton in the required size
- iron
- parchment paper
- sequins or similar items
- ribbons
- Mesh fabrics* in gold, silver, with glitter*...
- (possibly a piece of Vliesofix*, to reinforce the melting of the top layer)
Instructions: Pizza technique with Heat'n'Bond
- Iron the Heat'n'Bond onto the back of the fabric with the shiny side facing down
