About the Pattern
About the Pattern
Hello, hello!
Apple-Lutely Pillow is a fun hand-sew with loads of fussy-cutting potential. This pattern is designed for hand piecing 1 inch hexagons without papers (paper-free EPP). If traditional English Paper Piecing is your thing, you can do that too, because I have included printable 1 inch hexagon papers in the PDF.
You will learn how to:
- Stamp, cut, and sew hexagons without tracing (using a 1 inch hexagon stamp if you have one)
- Hand piece 1 inch hexagons in rows and join the rows with that lovely seam freedom (pivoting seams by not sewing into seam allowance)
- Quilt your pillow front (optional big stitch hand quilting) and finish with a simple envelope back (no zip required)
IMPORTANT DETAILS
- Seam allowances are ¼" (0.6 cm).
- Pattern includes an envelope closure backing (no zipper required).
- Any errata will be listed on the Craftapalooza errata page noted inside the pattern.
