About this Event

What is English Paper Piecing?
English Paper Piecing (EPP) is a traditional hand-sewing technique where small pieces of fabric are wrapped around paper templates and stitched together with precision. This process makes it wonderfully relaxing and portable, so a favourite for mindful makers and those who enjoy slow, creative projects.

In this festive three-hour class, you’ll learn how to hand-sew a unique six-pointed star using the EPP method. To start with we will provide a variety of fabrics or you can bring some of your own favourites from your stash. Then, using a template and expert guidance your will create your own hand sewn design. Once your star is complete, you’ll add a soft felt backing and hanging string to turn it into a lovely Christmas decoration or handmade gift.

Plus. you’ll also receive printed instructions so you can make more at home, and extra materials kits will be available to buy during the class if you’d like to keep creating.
