So, without my sewing machine, I guess there is no reason for me to procrastinate on trying English Paper Piecing (EPP ) that have been long in my wish of to do list…

I am using my current favourite fabric line : Field Study by Anna Maria Horner..

So here is my very First Sexy Hexy Flower!!!
turned into a pincushion…

Yes, not that neat, but hey, I am embracing progress and the JOY of making.

And as some people say.. It is kinda addictive… and I believe its true…
I even sew some in the car today. I even made some with a little bit of fussy cutting…

Fussy Cutting in the car

Isn’t it fun!! so portable and makes the perfect on the go projects. I am in LOVE!

Hexi Flower -Fussy Cut

My first several hexagon flowers were done differently just to see which one I feel comfortable with.
I ended up with not basting together with paper (just making a small stitches at the corner),
I use any plain paper or magazine paper.. but i think using a freezer paper is not bad too especially if you have a die cutter. Since I don’t have one yet, I’ll stick to cutting the templates slowly and precisely or maybe buy some precut one too.. and whip stitch the hexies together..
