Dionne’s Draught Excluder 2019 - Part 7

I am now moving onto the Tail End part of the Draught Excluder.

Hemmed Tail End

Taking one of the black cut out Circles I Hemmed it with a simple Tacking Stitch

Attach to Top

 

I began by making a few Tacking Stitches to hold the Circle in place. This will stop it moving around whilst I do the next piece.

Part Sewn End

From where I attached it I Blanket Stitched the Circle to the Excluder. I Sewed 90 degrees in both directions. Thus leaving half of it still Unsewn

Double Thread

Taking the Pom-Pom I had made I Threaded the needle with both Threads of Wool. I then proceeded to Sew the Pom-Pom to the middle of the Circle. I also Sewed through the Pom-Pom as well as the material in order to give it extra strength.

Gathered Excess Material

Now the Pom-Pom is Sewn in place I can continue to finish Blanket Stitching the Circle to the Excluder. I found that I have Excess material. Therefore I have to gather the material prior to Sewing.

I do this by putting the needle through the Excluder as usual. However each time I make a Stitch I take a little Extra material from the Circle part.

Tail Added

I have finished Sewing all the way around. By using the Double Thread and Sewing through the Pom-Pom it has stayed in the Centre of the Circle rather than dropping.

I can now begin to Stuff the Body.
