Make a Dresden Fan with the Sew Very Easy Template
The Sew Very Easy Dresden Fan Template meets you halfway, making a beloved quilt block simpler and more enjoyable to make. Grab a few favorite fabrics, and you have the makings of a satisfying afternoon at the sewing machine.
Choose from florals, a happy stripe that makes you smile, or a jelly roll waiting for the right occasion. Bring out the ones you love most and give them a new purpose.
Laura Coia has made the process wonderfully simple. The fan and background are pieced together as you go, using precut strips and charm squares. No hand appliqué. No awkward curved piecing. No bulky seams to wrestle with.
The template keeps the pieces consistent and takes the guesswork out of getting started. Just a few cuts, a few seams, and before long, that glorious moment when the first fan takes shape.
It is a familiar design with a fresh approach. You still get the nostalgic charm of a Dresden Fan, but with a method that lets you enjoy the making.
Make one full fan for a bright, beautiful throw pillow. Try a half fan for a table runner. Have fun with it. Fair warning: you may soon be looking for another afternoon to make just one more.
