The next Section of the Pattern calls for Ladder or Invisible Stitching. I have never done this before so I had to look it up. I will try to explain as I go along. You might want to read this a couple of times. Or do what I did and google it.

Knot

I am going to show you it along the White part so it can be seen better. First make a Knot. Then put your Needle through the White material.

Stitch Along

In the above photograph it is Showing you the White Section. In fact this the second time I have done this .( I did the knot. Then came across and put Needle through the Brown then returned across to the White)

Push the Needle Along the White Material a short way. Then Crossover and put the Needle through the Brown.

Forming Ladder

I kept repeating the process and as you can see the Thread is forming what looks like the Rungs of a Ladder. I did this until the End.

Difference Between

In the photograph above you can see the Difference Between my normal Blanket Stitch and the Invisible Ladder Stitch. I repeated this process for the other three Seams.

Remove Tacking

With all the Stitching done I could now Remove all the Tacking Stitches. I trimmed any threads that were awkward and wouldn’t come back out.

I left the last blog at the point where I had 2 Domes. I have to confess that this particular project is quite hard on the fingers by having to do such small Stitching and pulling Material together.

Stitch Domes Together

I have to start putting the Domes together. I start by Stitching the parts with the Pins in.

Continuous Seams

The given Instructions can be seen in the photograph above. I have to confess that I don’t know what it is supposed to mean. That along with the mis-spelling makes me wonder if they have been translated from another language.

Inside Out

I carry on Sewing around the Edge of the Domes until a Ball Shape has occurred. Any further and I doubt that I could reverse the Inside Out Shape.

Add Stuffing

I flip the Ball the correct way. I begin to add Polyester Stuffing into the Ball. Fortunately I had some of this in my supplies so not had to go shopping.

Four Seams

I have Stuffed the Ball as much as I possible. I can see that I have Eight Faces or Four Seams left. I think that was what the Pattern was trying to say.

Right with that done I can start the next step.

Creeks

According to the Instructions I now have to start working on something called Creeks. This is Sewing various sections like alleyways together.

Pinning Idea

Since the Sewing needs to be done from the other side I have had an Idea. I will put Pins into the the two Sections opposite in the Pattern. Then when I turn the Material over I will always know where I am.

Start on Creeks

To make life easier for myself now I have turned it over I am going to start Sewing the Creek beside the Pin.

Taking Shape

Having Sewn several of the Creeks I can now see the Ball Shape Taking place.

Two Domes

After I completed the White Section I continued on and Completed all the Brown. I now have Two complete Domes.

Time to tackle the next part.

Pattern Layout

First of all I have to remind myself of the Pattern Layout. I think that I will start with the easier section.

Match Pattern

I need to get everything back in the right place. I therefore am starting at the Centre Point. This is a Hexagon. I will begin with Adding the Hexagon to the Bottom Left and Sew together using a Blanket Stitch.

Middle Done

I have worked around the Centre Point Hexagon and have Sewn all the Adjacent Pieces to Middle.

Added White

Once I had my Basis I could then Add all the extra White Pieces and Sew them in place.

As Pattern

After all the White was Done I began to Add the Brown Pieces and Sew them in Place. If you look at the above photograph you can see it now matches the Kit Pattern.
