English Paper Piecing Workshop Slow stitching for the Mix Tape Generation. If you grew up rewinding cassettes with a pencil, love the smell (not taste) of glue, and appreciate the deep joy of hand stitching… welcome to EPP. English Paper Piecing is the craft equivalent of making a killer mixtape. Intentional. Portable. Built one small piece at a time. No algorithms. Just you, your hands, and fabric that actually sparks joy or something. But let’s be honest. Trying to teach yourself EPP from random internet rabbit holes can feel like assembling flat-pack furniture without the instructions. Why are the corners bulky? Why don’t the points meet? Why is everyone else making perfect hexies while yours look like they’ve had a hard week? This workshop fixes that. I’ll show you how to cut, baste, and hand stitch in a way that looks good. With clear guidance, solid technique, and a bunch of people who also think a good pair of fabric scissors is sacred. Most beginners get stuck at the fiddly stage and quietly give up. We’re not doing that. You’ll learn how to manage seam allowances, get sharp points, and stitch pieces together so they sit flat and behave themselves. By the end, you won’t be guessing. You’ll be Impressed. You can bring your own scraps… or Buy a Kit! Think curated, not cookie-cutter. This is portable stitching you can take to soccer practice, road trips, holidays, or the couch with a rewatch of Dirty Dancing. It becomes your quiet rebellion against fast everything. And when your points line up perfectly for the first time? That feeling is better than finding your old band tee still fits. Sharp points. Strong coffee. Solid skills. 🧵✂️ Small Group of 6-8 Workshop Details: Date: Saturday 8th August 2026 Time: 09:30 - 13:00 Venue: Learn to Create, Upstairs @ 3/20 Ann St, Nambour Cost: $65ea Workshop or Book in for 3 @ $150 Skill Level: 6 - Intermediate What to Bring: 1" or larger EPP Papers (any shape), Fabrics (can be scraps) 1/2" bigger than your papers, Basting Glue Pen, 50wt Cotton Thread, Quilting Needles Size 9-11 (I like Big Eye), Rotary Cutter, Embroidery Scissors, SewTites Magnets, Sewing Kit, Morning Tea, Water/Drink
