As if I need a new hobby!
This is my first attempt at English paper piecing. I really enjoyed stitching this together and I can see that it could quite easily be another stitching addiction!
I thought perhaps this would look nice on the front cover of my stitching planner. Or perhaps just as a coaster!
I was tempted to try this craft when I came across a YouTube video by Emma Jones Vintage Sewing Box and she was making a some beautiful little bits and pieces from scraps of fabric. I was really impressed by the finished results of paper piecing and decided to give it a go. I followed her instructions. She really explains everything very clearly and makes some beautiful projects. Emma also has a website and blog - click the links to check them out. I think you will enjoy what you see. Emma has a Beginners Guide video to English paper piecing - click the link to see it.
I think I will be doing a lot more of this. It was strange to be hand sewing without having to follow a pattern or count stitches - very relaxing, actually.
Hope you are looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
Love, Liz
