You may recall my post last month about making ornaments with English paper piecing (EPP), one of which was made with a dress from the 1970s and a shirt from the 2000s …
Both have been relegated to my cloth stash and are components of this latest patch.
Since the ornament gifts have now been given, there’s no longer any need for secrecy. So here’s a better look at how the 3-D EPP worked out …




which was constructed from 20 teeny tiny hexagons and 12 pentagons …
Last, but not least, I riffed on one of Don’s wooden houses to make a miniature version …

and experimented with a more 2-D version of the Boho stars …

All worth remembering …

when it’s time to start making ornaments next Christmas!
Love these

I saved so few pieces of clothing over the years that it was really hard to cut into these two … but I’m so glad to be able to get them out of hiding in the closet
