Dis-Mask-Trophy 2020

Dis-Mask-Trophy 2020

We have all had problems with projects. However this one was such a corker I felt it deserved a blog of its own. I have entitled it ‘Dis-Mask-Trophy’. This is a play on the word Disastrophy. According to the Urban Dictionary it is a slang word devised from the combination of the words Disaster and Catastrophe.

Circles for Starters

I started with the basic Mask shape and wanted to embellish it. I decided that I would use Circles.

Full Circle Hemmed

 

I cut out and Hemmed the Circle. So far so good.

Circle Parts

Next I cut out the remaining Circles. I cut two in Half and one into Quarters. I then Hemmed them as I had the Full Circle.

Pinned Full Circle.

 

I folded the Mask in Half. I then found the Centre and Pinned the Full Circle to it. I made sure that the material on both sides was Equal.

Pin Half Circle

I slipped one of the Half Circles Underneath the Full Circle at the Top.

All Half Circles

I then slipped the rest of the Half Circles Underneath. It took quite a while to get them aligned how I wanted them. Once I had I decided to Pin them in place before the next step.

Sew Full Circle

I Sewed the Inner Edge of the Full Circle with a Tacking Stitch removing the Pins as I did so. This left the rest secure but still mobile.

The Quarters I was going to add in-between the Half Circles. In case you haven’t worked it out yet I am endeavouring to make a flower. I will be adding Embroidery detail once I have finished the Sewing.

Dis-Mask-Trophy

Glad I checked how it looked before continuing. It is one of those ideas that is great in Theory but Disastophic in practice.
