I've been returning to foundation paper piecing again after a long break. I had a commission which I'm currently working on- can't show that I'm afraid- but I can show you the FPP pattern I've designed especially for an online interactive
CraftyMonkies class.
The pattern is for a mug rug. There's a choice of mugs- plain or striped, and choice of text and these reflect easier and harder skills that I'll cover in class along with sharing as many paper-piecing tips as I can in the three-hour class! If you're tempted to join in, you will be very welcome. The class runs on Saturday 8th August, 10-1pm BST and bookings are welcome from anywhere in the world, find all the
details here, scroll down.
If you are a first-time Zoom class participant, don't panic! CraftyMonkies classes have an experienced host, Rachel, who settles you into class, sorts out technical niggles and controls sound and vision! This means that everyone gets their chance to interact without being talked over and to ask the question you really want to ask You 'll be able to have a close view of my hands, cutting mat and sewing machine presser foot so you can see
exactly what I am doing. It's a gentle, happy sociable experience too. I'm really missing my sewing meet-ups at the moment and an interactive Zoom class like this is a great replacement.
What a fabulous idea for an online class, with an attainable yet useful project. I currently use cut-up practice quilting scribbles as mug rugs in my studio, which aren't nearly as cute as these!
