The Crafty Gentleman's Guide to Modern Paper Piecing - Mike Aspinall

From Search Press, The Crafty Gentleman’s Guide to Modern Paper Piecing by Mike Aspinall is a hardback guide for anyone keen to explore paper piecing, from first attempts to more intricate patchwork. Focusing on stitching fabrics over paper templates, it shows how to build crisp geometric motifs with clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions.

Inside, the book begins with the key materials and tools you’ll need, before introducing seven contemporary designs, each centred on a different paper piecing technique. As skills develop, readers can move on to seven sewing projects designed to put those techniques into practice, including a pillow cover, a tote bag and a quilt. Each project can be adapted to incorporate any of the paper piecing designs. The folder includes the instruction book plus a separate envelope containing the templates, ready to cut out and stitch onto.
