Although I'm a dressmaker I always wondered how to do curved piecing... you make it look so easy!.. just finishing my pieced bird!

Jeannette

What a great tutorial, thanks!

Marit

You make it look so easy and fun! Thank you for sharing!
; )

Lois Grebowski

you make it look so darn easy!

Jackie

I've never tried curved piecing as it's always looked difficult. I like this tutorial because if I'm off with my curves, it really won't matter!

dee

cool tutorial Penny! I love curved piecing and this will come in handy!

Michele

Love your curves! And I don't mean that in a creepy way.

Diane

Thanks for the great tutorial! I may actually have the courage to try this. Thanks for the organizational tip photo too! I'm getting ready to move my crafting junk room (my eldest daughter got married and I inherited a larger room) and I need to organize my ever growing fabric stash (without spending my retirement.) I like the wire stackables - they look practible.

Emily Hedrick

Nice! Thank you! Cannot wait to try it.

Suzanne

Thanks, Penny! I love seeing how scraps are stored by folks who love them as much as you do. Because the curves are so gentle, is it not necessary to clip the seam allowance? Thanks for your thoughts!

Penny

Hi Suzanne,
I rarely clip seams, even if the curves are pretty extreme. I always press first and then if the seam is wanting to lay kind of wonky, then I'll clip where needed. Most of the time they are just fine without it though!

erica

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing Penny!I'm sure I'll use this :)

Thimbleanna

Very cool Penny! Now, step away from the sewing machine and pack your bags!!!

randi

Alia Ghulam

This is so much fun! I am working on busting my stash right now with a gajillion 2.5" squares! Nothing fancy. Come on over and have a look! I have made a lot and need to photograph it still but in a few hours it should be up!

Arlene

Wow, now that's improve to the max. I would have HAD to press the fabric BEFORE I cut and sewed. Ha! You rock! Cool tutorial, Penny.

P.

That is really, really cool! Thanks for showing us how!

whitney-anne

that is sooo clever of you . . . will definitley try it soon!

Cristin

Where did you get that tall set of cubby holes?
Soon I'll need something like that for my scraps.... and I would totally have to press all my scraps before using them - i'm just OCD that way :-) haha

Glenna

Love how you use scraps! I am always asking people who sew for their scraps so I can use them to the end. I make bookmarks, yoyos etc....with them.

Rachel

What a gorgeous block and pillow! Thanks so much for this, I'll be linking.

Mountain Mom (Rachel)

I've been looking at a lot of "hot to sew curves" lately and I think I like yours the best because it is so clear and straightforward. Thanks!
