I’m proud to announce the Beedle The Bard Paper Piecing Design Challenge that will be taking place from today, May 20 until June 23, 2009 on my Livejournal Community, hp_paperpiecing.
Go read all about it and see the FANTASTIC prizes!
One of the most constant requests I’ve had over the years is for a video tutorial showing how I design paper pieced patterns.
Putting together a pattern is a step by step process, but designing is not. It’s artistic and intuitive. Even so, there are some basic techniques that stay the same every time you start a new pattern.
The absolute best advice I can give you is practice, practice, practice!
This is how I do it. In the next two videos, I’ll walk you through, step-by-step, my own process. Both videos are real time.

If you make any pattern, craft or recipe from sewhooked, I’d love to see a photo. Email me or add it to the sewhooked flickr group.
