The modern world is full of professional designers who ply their craft in fashion houses across the globe, but they are not the only ones responsible for clothing design. Home crafters have always created their own look without the benefit of degrees and experience, and they display their work with pride. Some of them take printed materials and patterns to create their own clothes, but others prefer to start with a blank slate.

Dyeing cloth and creating patterns has become a popular hobby in the past half century, and modern materials make it easier than ever before. There are standard patterns available in craft stores and online for those who love to sew, and new ones are created on a regular basis. Some people prefer to manufacture their own patterns, or they mix their own dyes to create new color patterns on material they have made with their own hands.
