Foundation paper piecing (FPP) is a precise and satisfying sewing technique where you sew fabric onto a paper template, section by section. It's perfect for achieving sharp points and detailed designs that would be tricky with traditional piecing.
Each pattern comes with a numbered overview, a coloured inspiration page, a colouring page to plan your fabric choices, and brief assembly instructions. Patterns do not include a tutorial — but I have you covered! There's an extensive free tutorial on my blog including a free practice pattern, and plenty of videos and resources on my YouTube channel.
