Pattern Inspiration
Our Favourite Foundation Paper Piecing Patterns
Hey bag makers! Today we have a fun round-up for patterns you can use with your Andrie Designs creations! When we launched the Made for Me Sewing Machine Cover in 2017, many of our testers (and Lisa) used quilt blocks on the cover. We are often asked where we got those patterns so today we are sharing our favourite shops to find your next foundation paper piece pattern for your next bag!
Quiet Play
One of our favourite shops is Quiet Play from Kristy Lea. Her beautiful Geometric Sewing Machine Paper Pieced Pattern was used on the Made for Me Sewing Machine cover! Her patterns are delightfully colourful and have loads of geometric shapes and points! She has numerous paid and free patterns. You can find her shop by tapping here Quiet Play.
Unicorn Harts
A personal shop favourite of mine is Unicorn Harts! Joanne creates some of the most adorable animal patterns that make great accents to any bag or quilt! I personally have made numerous Candy Cats and they go together so wonderfully! You can free and paid patterns in her shop. Find her shop at Unicorn Harts today!
