Wednesday 24 June 2020: Online Workshop (FPP)

Charlotte Newland - Wednesday 24 June 2020 - 6.00pm to 9.00pm (BST)

Online Interactive Workshop - Foundation Paper Piecing 

Join Charlotte Newland to learn about Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP), a fantastic technique that gives really accurate results. You can create sharp points consistently without the headache of matching corners, allowing you to sew simple or intricate designs. FPP with regular paper has the big disadvantage that each template can only be used once and has to be ripped away from the back of the block after sewing. This can take a lot of time and can be really fiddly, especially if the design is complex. Freezer Paper Piecing has the huge advantage that you can reuse your templates and you don’t have to rip out any paper. Instead of making many copies of your template you trace a copy onto Freezer Paper that can then be reused up to ten times.

On this Online Interactive Workshop, you will need the following:-

• Freezer Paper sheets or roll
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Paper cutting scissors
• Rotary cutter
• Iron
• Economy Block pattern printed at 100% (to be supplied by CraftyMonkies)
• F8 of three fabrics for economy block
• “Goosing Around” pattern printed at 100%
• 0.5m background fabric for Goosing Around
• Scraps of 16 coloured fabrics for geese (I used a rainbow)

A percentage of profit from this Workshop will be donated to charity. Tickets for this Online Interactive Workshop (via the Zoom platform) will be limited and allocated on a first-come/first-served basis!
