Patterned fabrics can be the hardest to know how to combine. There is no right or wrong – go with whatever you like, but here are some quick ideas to try.

Clashing patterns Provided the colours ‘go’ with each other you can have fun clashing different patterned fabrics together. This floral print works well with this stripe as the colours of the two fabrics tie in with each other.

Sizing patterns Don’t be afraid to use fabrics with large-scale patterns. You don’t always need to have the whole part of a pattern showing on your bag. Try cropping off an interesting section of a large pattern to make smaller sized bags or use it for a trim on a larger bag for a different look.

Matching patterns If you’d like both of your exterior and lining fabrics to be patterned, try putting the smaller patterned fabric on the inside of your bag. The smaller pattern inside the bag will be easier on the eye when your bag is full of your bits and bobs.
