Are you looking for a fun and original Halloween sewing project<\/strong>? Learn how to sew this original ghost-shaped Halloween cushion<\/strong> using the foundation paper piecing (FPP) technique. A patchwork project created in collaboration with Patricia from @kilubo<\/strong><\/a> and made with Katia Fabrics.<\/p>\n

As well as making the perfect cushion to decorate your home for fall and Halloween, this project is a chance to learn or practice a patchwork technique that allows you to create figures using very precise shapes and angles.<\/p>\n

A Halloween cushion to learn foundation paper piecing<\/h2>\n

The star of this project is a cute ghost made from different pieces of fabric. To create it, Patricia uses the foundation paper piecing<\/strong> technique, also known as FPP<\/strong> or sewing on paper.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional patchwork, in this technique fabric pieces are sewn following the lines of a printed paper pattern. The paper works as a guide during the entire process, helping you achieve precise seams, defined corners and pieces that fit correctly.<\/p>\n

This ghost pattern is split into 7 different blocks, from A to G<\/strong>, which are made separately and then joined like a puzzle. The center blocks shape the face, mouth and body of the ghost, while the sides and top and bottom borders complete the design.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What do you need to sew the ghost cushion?<\/h2>\n

For this project, we have chosen different printed fabrics by Katia Fabrics<\/strong> in soft and natural shades. The prints, featuring birds, flowers and motifs inspired by nature create a different Halloween combination to the traditional black and orange.<\/p>\n
