Improv and Curved Piecing

It’s a bit ghetto, but people like it.
Improv piecing and sewing curves is WAY easier than you may of thought. Give it a try! I think you’ll be surprised. Be sure to share what you make!

 Yes! I made my first video tutorial! Can you believe it?! It was fun.... and DEFINITELY homemade! ;) I think figuring out how to export it (file format and all those details), and then uploading it was the hardest part. It took a couple of tries to film it, and then I about cut it in half - editing out all the unnecessary details. I tried to add some comic relief in the boring parts. ;)

Here is the block that I end up making. I used all scraps - so it's not really anything that I'll probably use, but at least you can see how the diagonal and curved piecing turn out. :)

The whole thing was inspired by this block that I made for the Moody Blues 2 Group, and I had a question from Annabella, if I knew of any tutorials on how to do improv. I couldn't think of any, so I just made one up. :)

I made my hubby suffer through the video for some input before publishing it. He actually like it! And he doesn't know very much about sewing. I hope you like it too!! (It's a little long, but even my hubby was surprised when I told him how long it was. So hopefully it will be fast for you.) :)

 

 

If you have questions or feedback (or suggestions for making better videos - maybe get an actual tripod?! lol.) please be sure to let me know!! :) I'd love to know what you think! Thanks!
