English Paper Piecing
with Linzee McCray
Saturday April 9, 1-3:30 pm
$30 + supplies
Enjoy hand sewing? Then English paper piecing-also known as
EPP-is for you. In this class you'll learn the techniques to create
hexagons, then whipstitch seven finished hexies together to form a
flower. EPP papers come in myriad shapes and sizes and completed shapes
are great for adorning bags, aprons, and more. We'll talk about using
machine and hand appliqué to do that and if time permits you can
appliqué your flower to a dishtowel, as shown in the photo. (Toweling is
available at Home Ec Workshop and we recommend purchasing and
pre-washing it before class.) Included in the class are 15 paper
hexagons to get you started, and an appropriate needle.
Supplies needed: fabric scissors, pins (appliqué pins are great if you've got 'em), fabric scraps to use for your hexagons, and sewing thread that blends with your fabric.
