Introduction to Miesje:-

Miesje Chafer is an artist, textile designer and maker based on the south coast. Originally working as a screen printer, she started developing digital fabric designs which she now has printed and uses for her patchwork projects. She discovered English paper piecing around 10 years ago and completely fell in love with the slow nature of it, as well it being a great way of using small scraps left over from other projects.
