Mademoiselle Marionette 2018 Part 5

After all that sewing I felt like a bit of a change.

Colouring Sticks

One thing I need to do was to colour the sticks I was going to use to suspend the Marionette from. At first I was going to paint them but in the end I decided to use a permanent marker.

Coloured Circles

If you follow my blogs regularly you may recall one entitled ‘Oh What A Busy Sewing Bee I am’. I cannot remember the reason why but there were some circles of the material in the kit. I delved into the remains of the project and cut them out.

Circles Pinned and Cut Out

After cutting the coloured circles out I pinned them to some white material (again left over from the kit). I then carefully cut out the circle.

Head verse Circle

I now have one circle which I will use later with the Head. I now repeat the process and cut out the other circle.

Head Circle Hemmed

I very carefully hem the circle to avoid losing as little material as I can. Believe me that it is not an easy task whilst watching England in the Semi-finals!

I also hemmed the other circle after all it is a case of two halves ahem.

Before I go on making any alterations to the Legs, Head or Arms I will give the sections a good wash to remove any trace of pencil outlines.
