From Fabric to Flowers, Unlock the Secrets of English Paper Piecing

Discover the delightful world of English Paper Piecing (EPP) where hand sewing meets boundless creativity. EPP is a traditional sewing method where paper pieces fit together like a puzzle—add fabric and hand stitch them together! Combine the hexies to make small flowers and other motifs to adorn clothing and decor, or piece lots together into a quilt. EPP will become your favorite on-the-go sewing project! Author and instructor Becky Goldsmith shares her years of hand-sewing expertise as you start your own EPP adventure.

In Hexie Flowers 101, Becky shares various methods for preparing fabric shapes, basting, stitching, knotting, and sewing Y-seams. First, she’ll cover the supplies needed that are easy to access and inexpensive. Next, you’ll learn how to fussy cut, a fun technique that allows you to showcase a fabric motif on your hexies. Becky demonstrates a variety of ways to prep the fabric shapes and different ways to baste the fabric to paper, allowing you to choose what works best for you. Once you have a bunch of hexies prepared, learn how to whip-stitch them together to make a hexie flower. The course includes a link to an inspirational Pinterest Board that shows lots of ways to use your hexie flowers.
