English Paper-Piecing: A Zoom Workshop with Alex Byrne

This 2-hour workshop, taught by the guild’s EPP guru Alex Byrne, will introduce you to this fun form of patchwork. We’ll be making pincushions, although they can also be used as baby or pet toys! We’ll look at some examples of different shapes and patterns you can use, as well as ideas for what you can make. We’ll then pick up our materials and begin making. We’ll cover two methods of making the patches, how to join them and then remove the papers. Alex will take you through how to complete the project from start to finish AND you’ll have a worksheet to take away as a reminder.
