Beading: Peyote Stitch Pattern 36

Please note: The beads in these patterns (obviously) do not look the same as the actual beads (some of those are opaque, transparent, silver-lined, matte, shiny and so on). I just pick those colours that I like together, which works for the patterns, but using these actual beads in a project may very possibly not give the same results. It is better to use these patterns as "colour inspiration" than to stick to the exact bead numbers in the materials list.

Quilting Templates: Diamonds

Perhaps you've already noticed, but I've put up a new page: Quilt Diamonds Templates. Here you can find printable sheets with different sized diamonds to use in English paper piecing, including a template with 0.75cm seam allowance. The diamond shape is often used in the "Tumbling Blocks" design:

Tumbling Blocks
But there are plenty of other patterns to make as well. I'll be posting some more ideas for this shape in the not too distant future, so watch this space...
Happy English paper piecing :)

Sewing: Adding a Patch Pocket to the Top Pattern

free sewing pattern
Top with patch pocket
Another variation for the free top pattern, a patch pocket this time. Probably not very compatible with the previous variation, but then again perhaps it is? :)

The pocket has a self facing and a lining and is attached to the garment with topstitching.
