Скачать или смотреть English Paper Piecing for Beginners | Slow Stitching with Scraps

In this first video, I share how I begin an English Paper Piecing project using fabric scraps and simple tools.

English Paper Piecing (EPP) is a slow, hand sewing technique where fabric is wrapped around paper shapes and stitched together by hand. It’s gentle, portable, and well suited to beginners as well as experienced makers.

Today’s project is a quilted cover for a hot water bottle, stitched quietly at home in rural France, with natural light and the sounds of everyday life.

This is slow stitching for everyday use — using what we have, working at our own pace, and enjoying the process as much as the result.
