How to Make Mini Flying Geese - Free Paper Piecing Pattern!

scrapfabriclove.com

Foundation Paper Piecing is when you sew your fabric directly on to a ‘foundation’ that has a guide printed on it that shows you were to sew.

It's a super easy way of sewing precisely and a great way to use up fabric scraps too!

Materials Needed:

– PDF pattern – Fabric scraps – FPP paper – Glue stick – Rotary cutter – Ruler – Sewing machine – Thread

Fabric Requirements

You need four triangle patches for the central flying geese in this pattern, and 8 background patches.

Have a light source nearby so you can hold your pattern up to the light to check that your patch is large enough.

Tip for Foundation Paper Piecing

Sizing your Flying Geese Pattern Up or Down

The free pattern you can download is for a 1.5″ x 3″ mini block and it includes a 1/4″ seam allowance. Swipe up to download it!

Joining Blocks

When joining blocks I remove the paper form the 1/4″ seam area after sewing right sides together and before pressing seams open.
