Paper Piecing Alphabet Letters

Paper Piecing + Letters = Awesome-sauce projects!!

Alphabet patterns have always been a huge hit and pattern favorite! Adding names, favorite quotes, inside jokes, words, and letters to any number of projects is a great way to personalize what you make.

I currently have 2 alphabet patterns, My First Alphabet and My ABC’s, and more coming in 2018.

Here are some paper piecing tutorial videos that walk you through piecing the letters L, O, and V from the My ABC’s pattern. You can find these letters in the free paper piecing LOVE pattern to help you get started. (They are in order of difficulty.) These techniques can be applied to any letter and any pattern.

FYI, they don’t have any sound.
