Letha's Fan: Foundation Piecing ONE

Foundation piecing means sewing directly onto a drawn patter and sewing along a drawn line with the fabric on the reverse side of the pattern. This back to front system often creates confusion at first so here are some step by step pictures with more to follow in my next post.
Decide on your arrangement of colours

Place the first fabric wrong side down on the reverse side of shape one. Place
the next fabric on top right sides together. Hold up to the light and adjust so
that the shape overlaps the sewing line between Pieces 1 and 2 by 1/4".
Sew along the line on the drawn pattern (see later picture in future post)
NB SEW WITH A SMALLER STITCH SIZE

Flip the second piece over and press.
