Some colour variations

When the elements are combined

 Or perhaps you would like to make just a single element and want it to look less spikey?

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

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.
