I first used this craft as part of an “All About Me” themed session where we also made a fingerpainted house and created some fantastic self portraits on the painting table! It's really simple idea and craft but very often the most simple ideas are the best! It was such a popular craft for younger children that it’s one I’ve taken out and about again and again. Kids love to make their whole family so it’s worth printing out quite a few extra templates – and it’s a craft that can be used as a great learning tool for colours, families and body parts as well as exploring different textures. Older kids can also use it as a scissor practice exercise! This is what you’ll need Stiff a4 card Glue Pens or crayons A box of different materials – fabric, card, papers,wool, tissue…….. Firstly, print out the A4 template below onto card – like I say it’s a good idea to print out a few! You should hopefully be able to copy and paste this template and then resize it if needed - if not then you can download templates elsewhere or just draw your own person! Let your child get creative with the template, materials and glue – dress it, colour it in, add hair (or not!). You can either leave the person as he/she is on the card – or try cutting it out to make a cardboard doll!
UPDATE 2024/08/02: Pattern with different size colors, added A0 paper format and Projector file format. The Basalie flutter sleeve top is a beautiful design that I came across on Emerson Fry website. It was $118 but now sold out. I love the fluttery cape style sleeves, the relaxed fit and the flexibility of wearing it backward and forward. It can be easily styled with jeans, shorts and skirt for a nice summer day out. Let’s see how the design comes in various prints: It's a nice way to use smaller pieces of fabric in your stash! My pattern is made in 10 sizes from XXS to 5XL so you may find a suitable size for yourself. If you are not sure which size suits you, take a look at the measurement table before doing anything here: SIZE GUIDE. The pattern is made using layered PDF, please check for your desired size before printing so you won’t waste your paper. I have included a first page with many details about sizing and printing, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size you need! If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for the printing instruction in this post: PRINTING GUIDE. You can print this using your home printer and A4/Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be able to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always print the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing at the right scale before you print out the whole pattern – avoid waste of ink and waste of paper, save the earth! Some PC may print smaller than actual size even when you choose 100% scale – I don’t know why this problem exist, but my HP laptop cannot print true to size. I have to scale up to 103% to get the right size. You may need to check with your PC to see if it prints true to size, if not, scale up a bit. SEWING INSTRUCTION You will need Fabric of your choice. This pattern is made for woven fabric. It is an oversize design so you can choose to size down for a smaller fit. Scissors, pencil or fabric marker, ruler, pins Sewing machine/Serger or needle and thread Printed pattern How much fabric do you need for this piece of garment? To be precise, you may need to check how much fabric you need before buying. It will depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric you plan to use. Just to be sure, print all the paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 centimeters or 35 to 60 inches). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don’t forget to account for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut on the fold. Cutting instruction: After printing out and taping all the pattern pages together, cut the patterns out and you will get the following pattern pieces: You will see that there are 2 sets of lines on each pattern piece. The inner lines are sewing line (and you sew along these lines), and the outer lines are cutting lines (you cut the fabric along these lines, remember the folding lines where you have to fold the fabric before cutting). The distance between sewing line and cutting line is seam allowance, and it varies from point to point. For example, the side seam allowance is about 1/2 inch (1.2cm), and seam allowance at hemline is 1 inch (2.5cm). This is the reason why I do not remove the sewing lines from the pattern. Please use it as a guide to know how much seam allowance you need to give at each seam. This piece of garment can be made lined, or unlined. If you choose to make unlined version, cut as follows: Front Yoke: cut 1 on the fold Back Yoke: cut 2 on the fold Bottom Top: cut 2 on the fold Sleeve: cut 2 Bias binding for neckline If you choose to make lined version, cut one set of main fabric and one set of lining fabric. You will not need bias binding for neckline. Make sure to mark all notches and other design features such as darts, pleats etc. from the pattern pieces onto your fabric. When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up. Sewing instruction for the unlined version: 1. Serge/zig zag stitch the raw edge to prevent fabric from unraveling. 2. Place two Back Yoke pieces right side facing. Sew along the center back seam, starting from the lower edge to 2 inches toward the back neck. Backstitch to secure. 3. Sew two parallel lines using longest stitch length ½ and ¼ inch from the top edge of the Bottom Top piece. Pull lower threads to gather the fabric so that it matches the measurement of the lower edge of the Front Yoke and Back Yoke. 4. Attach each of the Bottom Top to the Front Yoke and Back Yoke. You get the Front and Back pieces. 5. Place Front and Back pieces right side facing. Pin and sew the shoulder and side seams. 6. Gather the cap of the sleeve (from one notch to the other) so it matches the measurement of the distance from front armhole notch to back armhole notch. 7. Sew the side seam of the sleeve. 8. Turn the sleeve inside out. Pin the sleeve to the main garment, right side facing, matching the notches. Sew to attach the sleeve to the main garment. 9. Use bias binding to finish the neckline. Attach button and hook, or use longer bias tape to make a tie at the back. 10. Hem the garment. This is a really simple design and very quick sew. You can finish it in just a few hours.

Playing with paper dolls is a happy childhood memory for a lot of people, and Angela Yosten is one of them. In 2009, she introduced her three-year-old daughter Paige to paper dolls and Paige loved them. There was just one problem: Paige’s little brother Matthew kept tearing the dolls’ heads off, and that made Paige really, really mad.In an effort to keep the peace, Angela spent a lot of time taping heads back on, but they were never quite as sturdy.

Hi everyone! I'm back from yesterday's English Paper Piecing post about how to sew the hexagons together. You can click HERE if you missed the post. I had lots of questions and emails about how to cut the paper and the fabric, so here is another post I put together today. I hope this helps!!! As with any project, there are many ways of doing something. The ideas I'm posting here are just a few of the different methods I've used over the years for cutting the freezer paper and the fabric. Technology has made things a little easier with hand held paper punches and electric die cutters, but I'll also show you a simple way to cut the hexies with a cardboard template. Cutting the Paper Hexagons... Types of paper freezer paper (my favorite) card stock recycled envelopes and those annoying magazine inserts finally have a purpose Types of cutters accuquilt die cutter Fiskars hand held paper punches (found in the scrapbooking section of any craft store or online) store bought plastic template for rotary cutter print template from free online source and make one from cardboard to plastic template Here are the types that I have used. Come inside for lots of pictures and steps for each method. The new accuquilt die cutters are specifically made for English Paper Piecing. I've labeled the pictures below to show you that the smaller hexagon on the right is where you would place the paper and the larger hexie on the left is for the fabric. That a quarter to show you the size of the finished hexagon. This is the smaller hexagon and that's a dime for a size comparison. As I've mentioned, freezer paper is my favorite for paper piecing. It has a shiny side to the paper that will adhere to fabric when ironed. It stays in place until you peel it away. You can also reuse it over and over. When used a few times, you might have to place a pin in the center to keep it in place. The paper has a dull side and a shiny side. The shiny side must be towards the wrong side of the fabric when ironing or it will stick to your iron. Yuk! Here's how to cut your hexagons with freezer paper. You can also use this method for any type of paper. Cut a long piece of freezer paper. Start to fan fold the paper. Make sure the width of the first fan is as wide as you need for your hexagon template. Fan fold to the end. Make a cardboard template. You can find and print so many sizes from free online sources. Trace the template. To save paper and cutting time, butt the sides of the hexagons next to each other. That way you are only cutting one side of 2 hexies. Before I cut the hexagons, I always staple the paper together first. Stapling them together, inside the hexagon, to keep the paper from shifting when cutting. Now you can cut. Remove the staples and your done. The Fiskars paper punches are great. You can still use the fan folded paper method, but I'm not sure how many layers you can cut through with regular paper. Freezer paper might be 3-4 layers. Fast and easy. There are different ways to measure the size of a hexagon. Some measure point to point, going east to west. The Fiskars punches are 2 inches for the large and 1 1/2 inches for the small. If you measure the ends, the large is 1" and the small is 3/4". Cutting the Fabric... As I mentioned with the paper, there's more than one way to cut the fabric, but here are a few ways I've done over the years. Square of fabric. Use fabric that is already cut in squares...maybe left over from different projects or even scrap of any shape. The mini charm squares are perfect at 2 1/2 inches. Iron on the freezer paper hexie. Hand cut the fabric to roughly make a hexagon 1/4 inch larger than the paper. The shape of the fabric doesn't matter. It's the shape of the paper that makes it accurate. The other method is to just leave it as a square, because, again, it's the paper not the fabric. I showed you how to sew the hexagon in the last post, but I'll show again just to make this post one cohesive tutorial. I always sew my basting stitches on the wrong side of the hexie. I never sew through to the front as in some methods. It is way too much work to sew through the paper and have the stitches on the front, because you have to pull all those threads out when you're are finished. This method has basting stitches only on the wrong side. They stay there and are never removed. Basting the Hexagons Fold over first edge of fabric up against the paper template. While holding down the first side, fold over the next section. With needle and knotted thread, take a little whip stitch at the mitered folded corner to secure. Fold down next side... and take another whip stitch. See the basting stitch is running on the wrong side, not the front? Do that all the way around until the mitered corners are secure. I don't even go that last stretch of thread to the first corner I stitched, because all folded corners are secure. When you're making hundreds of these, it matters! lol Here is the finished front. See? no thread on the front to remove! Woo Hoo!! Here is the back of the square fabric and the back of the hexagon shaped fabric. Either one is great...your preference. There is excess fabric with the square shape and that might matter to someone who is hand quilting this in the end...not sure though. I've never gotten to the hand quilting part of a finished hexagon project. Lol Both look the same from the front. I also wanted to show you this ruler I have that cuts fabric hexagons. It cuts them from 1 1/2 inches to 5 1/2 inches. I'm using a jelly roll strip that is 2 1/2 inches wide to show you. Place ruler on fabric. Line up the edge of the fabric with the 2 1/2" lines on the ruler shown with the arrows. Trim fabric with a rotary cutter. You can just turn the fabric around, but I have this Olfa rotating mat that is great for this. You turn the mat, so you don't disturb the fabric. It spins on that black background mat. Spins until the fabric is turned toward the left. Now match the cut end to the ruler shape and trim again. Easy peasy. Nice and neat. I just found this out today playing with all these things...The paper that is cut with the larger Fiskars punch fits perfectly with the 2 1/2 inch fabric hexagon that I cut with the E-Z hexagon template. Here's one more tip. Use a hole punch in the center of your hexagons for easy paper removal. Once all your hexagons are sewn to another hexagon, you can remove the paper and use it again. The hole helps to pop out the paper. I use a skewer or chop stick. Just stick it in and pop it out. Here are my little hexie flowers that I've been making lately. Here is my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt I started 15 years ago. I just pulled this out of the depths of my unfinished projects to re-start my mojo on this. I am making this for my husband. I told him when I started, that it will be for our 50th wedding anniversary. We'll be married 28 years this summer. I didn't put any pressure on myself for this one!!! Lol It is hopefully going to be a bed sized quilt, but at this rate it might be a bed runner at the end of the bed or matching place mats or maybe a shawl. Here's the back of one of the flowers. See how I left in the papers on the border until I sew it to another hexagon. I can re-use the papers for other hexies. This is a close-up of the tiny stitches I take to connect the hexagons. I like to make them tight, so you can't see the stitches on the front. I really hope this helps and relieves the fear that some of you have with English Paper Piecing. It really is a wonderful hobby to start. It's relaxing, portable and you can be so creative with fabrics and arrangement of the hexagons. Do a Google image search for English Paper Piecing or sewing hexagons or Grandmother's Flower Garden just for inspiration. You'll be amazed!! Happy sewing! Thanks so much for stopping by, ~Karen~
