I'm so happy you stopped by my blog for the Patchwork Patterns 318 Blog Hop! Patchwork Patterns 318 is a Japanese sewing book by Kumiko Fujita. It has recently been published by World Book Media for the first time in English!
The book is written for hand sewing but can be easily adapted to sewing on your machine using foundation paper piecing or freezer paper piecing.
I decided to make a few projects from the "Girls Night Out" section of the book. The patterns are adorable and the perfect designs for embellishing some very practical items.
I couldn't resist making a make-up bag - perfect for the lipstick and nail polish block!
The fabrics used for the lipstick and nail polish are Cotton + Steel Mustang Collection. The large floral is a cotton canvas designed is Ruby Star Polka dot in Pink by Melody Miller. The background dot is Essential dots in Pink from Moda.
The lipstick and nail polish block were enlarged to 4". The patterns in the book are approximately
2 3/8" and are not reversed for paper piecing, so I scanned the image and used Adobe Illustrator to enlarge and reverse the image. I added a seam to make the piecing a bit easier and numbered each section. If you don't have Illustrator you can use Photoshop Elements as well. Kerry has a great tutorial for sizing the blocks which you can find here.
The next project is a shoe/project bag. (Shhh.... don't tell anyone but I had an almost identical pair of pink kitten heels I wore in the early 80's : )
The shoe is made with Cotton + Steel Mustang, the bottom and top border are
Ruby Star Polka dot in Pink by Melody Miller. The background fabric is Essex Yarn Dyed Linen from Robert Kaufmann.
I enlarged the pattern to 8" - large enough to adorn a roomy bag - perfect for a shoe bag or project bag. I am currently using this one for a knitting project. It is a roomy 13" x 16" - so it will fit a pair of long knitting needles or your favorite pink high heels : )
Now for the fun part!!! I will be giving away one copy of Patchwork Patterns 318 compliments of World Book Media and a FQ set of Mustang from Cotton + Steel from Fat Quarter Shop! Don't forget to take a peek at the New Cotton + Steel line at Fat Quarter Shop.
Please leave a comment below sharing whether or not you have tried foundation paper piecing. If you have tried, what did you make?
Give away is open to USA and International commenters. Comments will be open until Friday 9:00 p.m Pacific Standard Time.
And.... be sure to check out the other projects on the blog hop - they are wonderful!
Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteI've made a Christmas tree block that was paper pieced for my quilt group swap. Love that FQ bundle!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love paper piecing, and would absolutely love to win this book. The fat quarter would be nice, but the book is absolutely awesome!!! cdahlgren at live dot com

Hello. I have never tried foundation piecing before, but am willing to give it a whirl. Thanks for the giveaway. Kayleeacres2013@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love foundation piecing especially by hand while watching tv.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try foundation paper piecing. It looks like a lovely book.
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing and at the moment I am sewing patterns by Claudia Hasenbach (http://www.claudias-quilts.com) to make a quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your projects and the fabrics you used.
I have, I made your beautiful sewing machine pattern! I have just started hand piecing too so would love to try some of these fun patterns!
ReplyDeleteI have been pinning patterns for a while and would love to have a go soon. Those patterns are very sweet and I may try the cos ethics bag pattern.
ReplyDeletejennylarking at gmail dot com
I've tried foundation paper-piecing many times:) but - unfortunatelly - I don't have many finished works. Maybe I should make some things smaller than quilts from my blocks - like you!
ReplyDeleteI find paper piecing to be quite a bit of fun ! It is especially handy as I make blocks for my Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a chance to win. The first quilt class I took was a paper piecing class and it was flowers and stems/leaves. It didn't scare me off...I still enjoy quilting and paper piecing when needed.
ReplyDeleteI do lots of paper piecing but the projects are always small..... little wall hangings, pincushions, etc. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done paper piecing. I have wanted to learn. This book and fabric would be great for me to start.
ReplyDeletePatricia C
I really enjoy paper piecing and have made several projects. My first big project was a wall hanging which was comprised of traditional 6 inch blocks.
ReplyDeleteI have made a couple of pouches with foundation paper pieced designs - I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI love the paper piecing look on blocks. I follow you on Bloglovin and love reading your blog. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the give away! :)

i first tried paper piecing when i saw the pattern for your designer studio, love it.
ReplyDeleteI made many blocks with paper piecing. Thanks for the great giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteI have fallen in love with paper piecing, but I do love hand stitching too!! I have used two of your patterns for my initiation into paper piecing, the jam jars, and berry fruit basket and loved both. I think my next one will be your mini cottage houses for some Christmas ornaments and gifts!! Thank you for the chance to win this book and nothing is prettier than these Cotton + Steel line of fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI've been paper piecing since 2006. I absolutely love it. I've barely done any other sewing since. Most all my projects are designs from Sewhooked, Quit-art designs, Fandom in stitches, and of course your work! I've recently been enjoying vintage paper piecing projects. Thank you for the giveaway and happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteI just love your ability to fussy cut the perfect fabrics in the best possible way! I have tried foundation paper piecing twice, once for the side of a large tote bag and then for an economy block mini. I really like the technique.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your projects. That shoe pattern would be fantastic for customizing with different fussy-cut fabrics, and then you could further embellish the shoes with embroidery or buttons. It would be perfect for a shoe-shopping addict like my mother! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have done a few projects - nothing too involved and would love to learn and do more! thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've done a few handpiecing before...mostly using ayumills' patterns :)
ReplyDeleteThese are both so cute! Wish you were coming to retreat this weekend, I'll miss you :(
ReplyDeleteHandsewing is not for me but you know I love me some paper piecing!
HELLO, yes I have done some PP and liked it. Latest was a Tulip pattern for a wall hanging>so pretty+intricate!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a neat giveaway!
msstitcher1214@gmail.com
I have tried paper piecing. I am considerably inept at it, unless all the pieces are identical. I successfully made a tuffet! I also made a couple of blocks for a sampler that required an awful lot of ripping and cutting new shapes. I would like to master paper piecing some day...
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy paper piecing and at the moment I'm working on a Lego Captain Rex (the things Mothers do!!). The book looks fabulous for ideas.
ReplyDeleteI have admired the projects, read the tutorials, and even bought patterns....but I have not tried it, yet.
ReplyDeleteI have done a little paper piecing and I'd like to do more!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I've done a little paper piecing and hope to do a lot more. It's so fun and fulfilling, and sometimes a bit of a challenge. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your projects are awesome and I absolutely love the fabric you chose too! I have only done a few simple paper piecing wall hangings and they turned out really nice... I would love to try the smaller designs like yours. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI have done some paper piecing and turned the blocks into quilts, potholders, aprons, bags, etc. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done paper piecing for years so it would be lovely to get back into it. Thanks for the chance to win :o)
ReplyDeletenot yet but would love to, thanks
ReplyDeleteI have tried to do some different colored hexagons that were paper pieced by hand. Each one had several different colors of fabrics in it...It was sorta difficult though
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm not sewing wonky (accidentally ... on purpose :D) I prefer to paper piece for accuracy - it's about the only way I get nice crisp points :D Your bags are fantastic - I think a set would make a great gift for girls of pretty much any age! Thank you for a lovely giveaway - I appreciate that it's open internationally :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE foundation paper piecing and have made lots of differnt blocks. These have been turned into mini quilts, zippy pouches and quilts. I love the shoe - sparkly pink goodness!
ReplyDeleteI purchased Carol Doak's Craftsy class and have watched the lessons several times. I am now ready and very excited to try foundation paper piecing! Your bags are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose patterns are the cutest. I have used paper piecing on lots of projects and love the accuracy it results in. Your bags a sweet as pie.
ReplyDeleteAdorable projects!! I LOVE paper piecing... I make mini wallhangings, tote bags that feature a block, blocks....
ReplyDeleteThis book looks super fun!

I am just getting into foundation piecing. I am a long time appliquer but the foundation piecing it a great way to use scraps...so I am working on learning how! your patterns are so cute and would be a perfect start!

ReplyDeleteLisa (NY)
I've made an American Jane wagon wheels pattern using paper piecing, as well as some smaller items. Your bags are adorable !
ReplyDeleteI recently did a teapot that was a free pattern. I really struggled with the odd angled pieces but finally finished it. It is soooo beautiful. I moved along to personalizing some placemats with names for Christmas gifts. I think everyone will be thrilled when they receive them. I have your jam jars, featherweight sewing machine, summer cocktail and vintage apron from Craftsy waiting their turn. I think I'm becoming addicted. Thanks for sharing your talent on your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute projects. I enjoy paper piecing though I'm just learning. I recently made some small Christmas stocking ornaments for my guild's charity tree and this summer I made a couple of blocks for a sampler king sized quilt. Now I want to make some fun blocks like your patterns on Craftsy.
ReplyDeleteI have done some paper piecing and did have fun with it. I made a small wall hanging for my mom.

ReplyDeleteI paper pieced some pink flamingos for a wall-hanging for a friend who loves pink flamingos. Speaking of piecing, I love your projects! The designs and the fabric choices are great! Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing! I sewed through the book Patchwork Please a couple years ago, which was my introduction to this method. I loved how paper piecing gave me more accurate seams and took away some of the annoying aspects of regular piecing (sewing on bias edges, small inaccuracies in measuring). I am so excited about this reprint.
ReplyDeleteI just finished foundation piecing 120 string blocks for two string quilts. It went pretty quickly. This book looks like it would be a great addition to any quilter's library.

ReplyDeleteI've made ONE foundation pieced Snow Scene landscape by Cynthia England. I finished it and learned so much about paper-piecing. I still have bits of paper that are stuck in between the stitches! I haven't tackled it since that one project, but the more I read, the more I think, "Yeah, I can do that!"
ReplyDeleteI have done a little bit of foundation piecing. I love this nail polish and lipstick block and do think it would be great for a bag. You picked the perfect fabrics!
ReplyDeletePaper piecing requires I think backwards so I have to be in that frame of mind to do it. Yours turned out wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried paper foundation piecing before. Would like to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteNo, I've never tried paper foundation piecing... seems tricky but it's worth a try, right? Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteNo, I have never tried foundation piecing. On my to-do list, though!

ReplyDeleteNo, I have not tried it yet. But I would love to -- the possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteI just started paper piecing this year. With 3 projects in the works, I think you can say I am hooked. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have made a few blocks using paper piecing, mainly to see if I could do it! I was pretty good with the inside of the block, but forgot to add the 1/4 inch to the outside so if I ever sew that block to something else the tail of the camel will be lost! I have known about this book in Japanese for a while but was too late to get it in the original - super wonderful if I could get in the English in this drawing! Thank you for the chance!
