Foundation Paper Piecing!

April 23, 2017

I finally got around to making a gemology block to learn paper piecing. It was actually super easy and came together really quickly.

I decided to make a quick pouch with it to give to Sam. It was a little messy and I got my first sewing related injury aside from pin pricks (burn on my arm), but I love how it came out! I’ll definitely be making more of these. I used this tutorial.
