Every job in the hospitality sector you can think of – I probably had it once. So when I thought about what kind of vehicles to include in my series the party service truck popped up in my mind immediately. 😊
You can use this block in various projects: a mini quilt, a draw string for small toys or a pillow. Or combine it with other patterns from my series Vehicle Variety and turn them into a wall hanging or a cute baby or kids quilt.
The block pattern comes in three sizes (8“, 9“ and10“) for both directions, with a coloring sheet and a bunch of design examples. It gives you three different options for the block design: monochromatic background, two backgrounds for sky and street and an additional alternate section for a street with central strips. The individual sections are clearly labeled and have a ¼“ seam allowance. There are no curves or y-seams. The pattern comes as PDF files in A4 and US Letter paper format.
This pattern requires some experience with foundation paper piecing (FPP) due to sections with very small pieces (including an option to skip those). It does not include detailed FPP instructions. You can find lots of free tutorials for the various FPP methods online. A single block can be made with just a few cotton scraps from your stash.
AnneT – neurodiverse creative chaos
creations of a neurodiverse mind
I grew up with the sound of my mum's and grandma's sewing machines and have been sewing since my teenage years. Focused on clothes and accessories first a few years ago I caught the patchwork virus and have been hooked up ever since.
Meanwhile I create my own designs and write patterns for traditional piecing and foundation paper piecing in English and German for beginners and advanced sewers. I love to experiment with different colors and designs and to see what others create with my ideas.
