Out of Zone Mask 2020 Part 5
Now I had my design for the Chain I had to fix it in place.
Pin Chain
The first thing I did was to Pin the Chain In place. This
was easier said that done. It kept moving whilst I was trying to set the Cogs
so in the end I had to use several Pins on each bend.
I decided that I was going to have to Sew the Chain bit by bit. I was going to have to add the Cogs the same way. In the above photograph it shows the first part of the Chain and the first Cog Sewn in place.
I then continued to do this with the second part of the Chain and the second Cog. The third was slightly more awkward as I couldn’t designed whether to have the Chain hanging down on the inside of the Washer or the Outside. I eventually decided on the latter.
I then used the same process on the opposite side of the Mask. This worked out slightly different as there was a greater difference in size of the Cogs.
Mask
Back
Next I turned my attention to the Back of the Mask. I had made the Hands of the Clock by Sewing Copper Wire. Unfortunately the Ends of this wire were very Sharp. I found whenever I tried the Mask on these Ends were digging in and scratching my Face.
Naturally I would be putting a Back on this Mask as I had the others. However since I use the Inner part as a pouch I had visions of hundreds of pieces of torn up tissue as the result of the Sharp Ends tearing the tissue.
Back
Patch
I decided that in order to avoid this problem what was needed was an extra Piece of Material. For want of a better term I was going to add a Back Patch.
I found some scrap black material then Cut and Hemmed it.
Since it was not going to be seen it didn’t need to be symmetrical just large
enough to cover the Sharp Ends. I used Blanket Stitch to Sew the Top and Bottom.
I couldn’t Sew the Sides as it would have Shown through.
