6. Patch it up
Another trend driven by the pandemic is patching up the waste fabrics to create cushion covers, quilts, rugs, bed linens, etc. This trend has never left the industry and has always been spotted after every few years because of the reason that it utilizes waste scrap fabric, reduces landfill waste and creates unique designs that are hard to replicate. This year, in 2021 the trend can be seen in garments as well as home linens. Creative patchwork is here to stay for at least a couple of years because utility and creativity is what the consumer is looking for right now.
