I decided to make View C the blouse-length version of the dress with the optional matching pockets. And I decided to paper piece both the yoke and the pockets.<br \/>\nSelect the yoke and pocket pattern pieces and get your epp paper shapes out. Now the fun of designing your own version can begin. Lay your pattern pieces flat on a table and cover them with your epp papers. I love pre-cut papers because you can just play around with the shapes until you love your layout.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-58280\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_04-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"English paper piecing\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_04-760x507.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_04-500x333.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_04-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_04-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re happy with your layout you can start basting your pieces.
