Foundation Paper Piecing
This is a great sewing technique for making perfect points and joins every time. A little bit tricky to get your head round at first, this great little project is perfect for making a small item and learning the technique.
This project makes a small coaster, but don’t think that is the only thing you can make with the finished item. How about making it into a needle case?
So dig out your left over pieces of fabric and have a go.
