English Paper Piecing Club
All supplies available at Tiger Lily and discounted 10%!
English Paper Piecing (EPP) is an age old method of sewing fabric shapes together to create larger fabric panels. It’s a creative, fun and addictive process. Instead of precisely cutting and machine piecing with exact seam allowances, EPP uses fabric wrapped around paper foundation patterns and traditionally stitched by hand to create patchwork designs. The design possibilities are varied and endless. EPP makes a great take along project to work on when traveling or for handwork while relaxing in your easy chair. My EPP sewing kit always contains an ongoing project and is ready to take with me everywhere!
In the class we’ll explore:
- Fabrics, paper pieces/templates and notions and tools that will help you outfit your EPP sewing kit.
- Techniques for selecting and using paper pieces and acrylic templates.
- Methods to cut and apply the fabric to the paper pieces with thread or glue basting.
- Joining the fabric covered paper pieces together to construct pieced fabrics.
- Completing your EPP project, remove the papers and finishing the edges.
Supplies: Many of the following notions will be on hand in class to try if you don’t already own them. I’ll explain options and rationale for selecting notions for your hand sewing kit.
