English Paper Piecing, (often referred to as EPP), is the technique of folding fabric over paper templates and hand sewing these together. A great way to up-cycle cotton fabric scraps or re-use sentimental fabrics from a loved one for a handmade keepsake that can be treasured for years to come.
If you would like to have a go a this heritage technique, with lots of help and tips along the way, then do join us for this workshop to find out -
The best fabrics to use, template types, cutting options, basting and hand sewing stitches.
All equipment and materials will be provided for you to get started and feel free to bring in any of your own chosen fabrics you would also like to incorporate too.
It's relaxing and creative, plus it's always nice to have a portable hand-sewing project to work on. These can easily then be made into pincushions, tote bags, coasters, mug rugs, and even full-sized quilts.
