I love hand sewing, so this patchwork ball was the perfect project to make for a friend. this is easy to make using the English paper piecing (EPP) method of patchwork. I used some very retro fabric that my mum bought in the 80's for this one. i decided that i wanted to make a fragrant hanging ball, instead of just a standard toy ball. to do this, i just added a piece of ribbon in to one of the seams to create a hanging loop. i using dried lavender and a little toy stuffing to fill out the shape. i think this makes a great little gift that can be used by anyone, (personalised by simply choosing a different fabric to suit the person)...
