EPP Skill-Building Series: Hexagons

 

I’m super excited to announce a brand new English paper piecing pattern series! I’ve put together a series of patterns that will help you build your EPP skills.

The series begins with the basics of English paper piecing and expands from there, by exploring different shapes and the nuances of how to work with each of them.

We'll cover everything, from the very basics, to working with different EPP template shapes, fussy cutting techniques, and sewing with curved pieces.

 

Series Details

There will be four different Flowers & Butterflies patterns in this skill-building series. Each of the English paper piecing patterns is super cute and unlike anything you've seen before. You might want to collect all four!

Beginning this week, I’ll release each skill-building pattern here on my blog. Each pattern will consist of one flower and one butterfly design, pattern instructions, printable EPP templates, a coloring page, and a video tutorial.

I've also created a private Facebook group for you to join with other EPPers to share your flowers and butterflies, ask questions, and make friends.

 


The first pattern in the skill-building series.

 

So that you have plenty of time to stitch up your flowers and butterflies, each pattern will be released every few weeks.

In between those releases, I’ll be posting tips and tutorials about English paper piecing here on the blog, so you can grow your knowledge and develop your hand-sewing skills as you progress through the different patterns.

At the end of the series, I'll share a simple, fun, and free project pattern that you can make using the flowers and butterflies you stitch during the series.

 

Who This Is For

The Flowers & Butterflies English paper piecing skill-building series was created for both beginners just getting started with EPP as well as for avid English paper piecers wanting to grow their stitching skills and work with some fun new patterns.
