Improv.....Technique 6


Improv Technique 6

Freehand Curved Piecing



I had to dig deep to find this one...

I haven't seen this for 5 years......eeek!



What got me started was this 2015 issue:


I took it camping with us that summer...





Great directions...





I stitched in the camp trailer every evening.



Here it is almost 5 years later...


I unearthed some of the strips and scraps...




Here goes....Freehand cutting and piecing:







Just like riding a bike.....it comes right back















Before Pressing:  the sewn strip is wonky...





After Pressing:  lays perfectly flat
















Every now and then....throw in a pieced strip





This is yummy FUN!










If you are interested in giving this a try...

  1. I used something like this some years back. I went and watched the video link and the sequel to that video. Jean Wells demonstrated how she did the tiny thin inserts........oh yes! I love that and think I could have lots of fun playing with that technique. I really am enjoying your improv series the past week, so fun!!!!
