If you've bought this project, you'll find your tutorial video below (the password is on the front of the printed instructions in your box!)
English paper piecing is a method of patchwork which originated in England in the 1770s where fabric is wrapped around fabric shapes made of thin paper cardboard or heavy paper.
Once the shapes are wrapped and ready, the sewer will hand sew the shapes together one at a time until the shapes become an intricate design. The paper or cardboard is removed once the shape has been sewn to another shape on all sides.
Inside your box you'll discover the following essentials waiting to spark your creativity:
- White Canvas Tote Bag
- 2 x Sewing Needles
- 3 x A4 Paper Piecing Design Templates
- White Sewing Thread
- Jade, Navy, Light Grey, and Royal Blue Fabric Pieces
You'll also have your handy step-by-step photo instructions and online video tutorial to navigate the crafting process with ease.
You'll just need:
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Sewing pins (optional)
- Iron (optional)
For those moments when you're in need of some extra inspiration, we're including three beautiful postcards that will fuel your creative fire and make a stunning addition to your pinboard.
Crafting Your English Paper Piecing Tote Bag
Imagine the joy of carrying a tote bag that's not just functional but also a piece of your own creation.
The provided diamond paper templates you'll cut out your shapes from your fabric, you'll arrange three of your diamonds to form a block motif and use whipstitch to secure them.
Then you can explore different shapes and embellishments to decorate the other side of your bag if you wish.
Mix and match the Jade, Navy, Light Grey, and Royal Blue fabrics to add a burst of colour and personality to your tote.
The white canvas bag is your blank canvas, and your creativity is the only limit. Whether you prefer geometric patterns, floral designs, or abstract shapes, this kit empowers you to craft a tote bag that reflects your unique style.
