We love our pets! In this design class, each student will make a custom EPP pattern and project from an original photo of their pet. English paper piecing is a technique where fabric is wrapped around paper templates and secured with basting stitches or glue. Violet will teach glue basting securing methods, and other techniques are discussed briefly and welcome to be used if students prefer them. The pieces are then sewn together by hand. This class will focus on EPP design practices and creating unique patterns as well as beginning to work step-by-step through English paper piecing the unique pet designs. Students will need to bring a pet photo to class.
