That would be a new sewing machine in fabric form.
A 6.5 inch quilt block from Kumiko Fujita's 318 Patchwork for Amisha,
It is her month in the 318 Patchwork Bee and she chose all things sewing themed. I modeled this block on my little Singer featherweight.
I know it may seem strange as I know paper piecing stresses a lot of people out there, but I find it rather therapeutic, relaxing even.
Once some obligations pass and I have a bit of extra time I will do some paper piecing tutorials- a foundation one (not my favourite method) and a freezer paper one- now you're talking...
can not wait!!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try, terrified, but want to try. Look forward to the tutorials.
That block is bloody brilliant. Love everything about it and the wood fabric looks fab!

ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing, have never tried freezer paper (but have a brand new box just waiting to be opened of course). Will you include how to make your own paper piecing patterns in your tute? I've tried making them up, but get confused about which lines I need to sew first.
