I was super excited when Michael Miller Fabrics invited me to be part of their 2022 Harvest & Halloween Blog Hop. The opportunity to create something fun using some of their Halloween fabrics was spook-tacular!
Projects created using Michael Miller Fabrics from their Holiday Shop!
While most know me for my love of sewing and creating bag patterns, I thought this time I would share with you something new. Another passion of mine, which I share with my daughter, is modern English Paper Piecing. I would love to treat you all to a free pattern so you can give this form of sewing a try!
Haunted House- created with: Fresco DCX10060-PEWT-D, DCX10060-CARR-D, DCX10060-GRAP-D and bats all, folks DCX10332-GRAY-D
Pentagon Fabric Bowl- created with: creepin’ it real CX9739-ORAN-D and Fresco DCX10060-STEE-D
The fabrics I chose were from Michael Miller's Hocus Pocus. I chose these fabrics because I found that the prints were perfect for an English Paper Piecing project. Just about every print in the collection is perfect for fussy cutting smaller shapes.

I have created a free pattern for you to download and create your very own Halloween Bowls!

Sew up some fun Pentagon Fabric EPP Bowls in time for Halloween. This free pattern I created for you all is the perfect introduction to English Paper Piecing. Best of all, it is a quick sew project that can be done in time to fill with your favorite Halloween candy!
This pattern is sewn using traditional English Paper Piecing sewing techniques but rather than using paper, which would need to be removed before final assembly, we use Décor Bond fusible interfacing to make the bowls. This makes them more durable and washable!
The pattern includes step by step instructions to complete the project along with printable templates to cut your fabric and interfacing pentagons.

To display with my Halloween Fabric Bowls, I created the Haunted House and Pumpkin mats using Michael Miller Fresno and Solids featured in their Holiday Shop. The colors perfectly match with the Holiday themed prints!
Both mats were made using In the Hoop Embroidery Patterns from Kreative Kiwi Designs you can find them for sale HERE!
