English Paper Piecing (EPP) is a popular and easy method of creating beautiful, hand-sewn patchwork designs. The fabric is cut and folded over a paper template and the resulting shapes are stitched together by hand, making it ideal for sewing whether you're on the move, or at home. Successful and established author Alistair Macdonald provides 18 fabulous projects, including a lovely baby’s play mat, a stylish gentleman's scarf, a useful hobby bag, a tea cosy, a gorgeous tote bag and a make-up purse. All the patchwork is done by hand sewing, using the English Paper Piecing method in fresh, bright cottons and with clear, step-by-step instructions and beautiful photographs. There is some machine sewing for putting projects together, but you can hand sew if you prefer.Actual size templates for every project are included.

As an established designer and purveyor of textiles and products made from some of the finest fabrics available, Alistair Macdonald from House of Alistair continues to find ways to nurture his lifelong love of sewing. His knowledge and understanding of fabric is astonishing whilst his imagination and flair to create and design might be considered unparalleled. Such a talent can be appreciated once realizing that Alistair’s love of sewing and craft began early whilst in the company of his Gran when growing up on the Isle of Bute in Scotland and then pursuing an education in art followed by fashion design; ending up graduating from the prestigious Central St Martins in London. Some years later, time spent working among some of the world’s most iconic brands led to the birth of House of Alistair – a business aiming to bring together both quality and design for the world of fabrics and haberdashery. www.houseofalistair.comAlistair lives in London.

The best book for beginner sewists, which uses the simple art of paper piecing that everyone can do.18 wonderful projects with simple step by step instructions, and with the inclusion of templates makes this a book for mindful sewing.Paper piecing is a hand sewing technique, which involves cutting shapes of paper and wrapping your chosen fabric and stitching them together to make stunning and useful items. Cushions, bags book covers and quiltsI actually started paper piecing when I first learned to sew, and started making a small lap quilt which when I eventually finished was a king-sized quilt which now adorns my bed and is very warm... This craft is very addictive so be warned.
