He pushed us to see fabric outside of straight lines and quarter-inch seams, and his techniques were totally refreshing. Most importantly, he emphasized that sewing should always be FUN and that it is okay to try (and make mistakes with) new things! We’ve captured a few highlights of his visit to the Fat Quarter Shop in these tutorials.

The cool thing is, they’re made using Triangles On A Roll paper, so you have some help along the way and you won’t believe how sharp and accurate your points are!
