#8: Patchwork Clothing
Patchwork garments began appearing around 1967 as young people started sewing clothes from leftover fabric pieces. Old sewing machines and scrap textiles were easy to find in thrift shops. Pants, skirts, and jackets often mixed denim, cotton, and corduroy squares with visible stitching. The look felt handmade and practical. Beyond style, patchwork carried a quiet message: repair what you own and waste less.
