Intro to Patchwork – Dresden Plate


🌟 Learn how to create the beautiful and timeless Dresden Plate quilt block while exploring traditional patchwork and appliqué techniques in this creative sewing session.

🧵 Skill Level: Suitable for Beginners & Experienced Sewers
⏰ Duration: 3 hours

About this Lesson

The Dresden Plate is one of the most loved quilt patterns from the 1920s and 1930s — elegant, versatile, and still incredibly popular today.

In this workshop, you will learn how to create your own Dresden Plate block using fabric piecing and appliqué techniques.

During this lesson, you will:

  • learn how to cut and piece Dresden Plate sections
  • explore colour placement and fabric combinations
  • practise accurate sewing and pressing techniques
  • create a finished Dresden Plate block ready to use in future projects

🧵 Please note: during this session, you will create the Dresden Plate block itself rather than a completed item. Your finished block can later be turned into a cushion, placemat, tote bag, quilt, wall hanging, or another creative project of your choice.

A wonderful session for beginners wanting to try patchwork for the first time, as well as experienced sewers who enjoy quilting and fabric design.

As part of the lesson, you will be able to choose fabric for your project from our shop — included in the course price.
