8-Petal Dresden (MINIATURE)
£2.80 – £6.50
We were asked by you for a really small Dresden Plate, so here it is! 🙂
This cute little flower is only 3 inches in diameter and has 8 Petals.
We have designed it so that you can ‘sew in’ the centre circle, or applique it ( just as you prefer).
This cute little Dresden Plate is made up of 8 petals and has an overall size of only 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter (at the widest point).
We have designed this flower so that you can ‘sew-in’ the central Circle, or applique it on top (just as you prefer) and is of course supplied with the petals in the packets.
PLEAD NOTE:
The finished Dresden Plate Flowers are appliqued onto a background fabric. It is advised to leave the paper pieces in place for the applique stage, because it keeps the petals in shape and stops the flower from being distorted!! The papers are removed afterwards by trimming back the excess backing fabric (behind the flower) to expose the paper pieces.
The Miniature Dresden Plate comes in 2 different packet sizes :
- A packet containing 3 flowers
- or a packet containing 10 flowers
Please choose the packet size you would like in the drop-down menu below:
Top tip when paper piecing our Dresden Plates:
When folding the fabric over the paper piece edge, DO NOT fold it over at the bottom/base of the petals! Because the circle paper pieces are ‘appliqued’ on top it can be a very tight fit, and therefore not folding the fabric over at the base eliminates problems when sewing on the circle. When folding the fabric around the ’round end’ of the petal make sure to make very small tacking stitches and smooth the fabric over the edge after each stitch (sounds more difficult than it is). And always remember: Practice makes perfect curves!
