EPP is a relaxing hand-sewing technique where fabric is wrapped and basted around paper templates, then stitched together by hand to create intricate designs. Once the shapes are sewn together, the paper templates are removed. This method is ideal for those who enjoy sewing by hand. It's very portable, so you can take your project to work on as you wait at the doctor's office or sit by the pool or at the beach on vacation.
