Description

Improv EPP Workshop: Explore, Create, and Play! Join us for a hands-on, creativity-fueled workshop where we dive into the playful world of Improv English Paper Piecing (EPP)! This session is all about exploration, experimentation, and enjoying the process of creating something uniquely yours. You'll learn how to design your own EPP shapes from scratch, create and cut your paper templates, and prepare your fabric with the right seam allowances.

We’ll walk through tips for organizing your pieces, placing fabric accurately, and aligning them for smooth stitching. Whether you're new to EPP or looking to break out of the traditional mold, this workshop is your space to play with bold shapes, vibrant fabrics, and your own creative instincts. Come ready to experiment—and leave with something totally original!
