Way back in June, I showed how I made paper templates to make the Dresden Plate using English Paper Piecing. Later I made many plates and with some stitcheries, I made Happy Scrappy Little Bird table runner. But I did not show how I pieced the wedges !
So, here goes :)
Cut off the tips of the points.

Cut your fabric with enough seam allowance all around except the narrow end.
Next, baste the paper wedges to the fabric.
Using whip stitch, join the wedges……
…until you get a complete Dresden Plate!Super easy method..just perfect for hand stitching.
Don’t you just love the Little Bird ?
That's a great way to obtain perfectly regular shapes!
ReplyDeleteThe bird in the center is lovely :)
