Boxing Clever 2024 Part 4

 Boxing Clever 2024 Part 4

This is going to be more fiddly so need to take my time.

Adjust Edges

I have selected some Offcuts from the material left from a previous project. Sewing Bee Bag see links at bottom of the page. I am using my Pinking Scissors to Adjust the Edges so they do not Fray.

Split in Two

I want Thinner pieces of Cloth. I Split the Light and the Dark Blue into two Separate parts each by Cutting along the Middle with the Scissors.

Got the Blues

I Glue the Dark Blue across the Lid. I place the Lighter Blue roughly halfway up the Dark Blue. This is the start of a Wavy Sea.

Landslide

I continue layering the Blues alternatively until they reach the Sky. Once that part dried I added another piece of Camouflage over it. It has added a Sliding Slope to the Land.

Add Ship

Where the Sea meets the Sky I have added a couple of small pieces of Black Leather. This is the the Base and Mast of of a Boat in the Distance. I need to find a different Colour to make the Sail.

Add Rocks

I have found a nice piece of Red to make a Sail. I have also added a few Rocks. With some extra pieces of Blue I have added more Waves. It now looks like the Sea is rough with Waves crashing.

More Blooming Flowers 2019 Part 3

Another week and another set of problems.

Missing Cotton

This is something that many crafters encounter. There is only a little bit left to do and you run out of Thread.

Testing Colour

Normally I would just cut some more and carry on but unfortunately I have two very similar Coloured Threads. This means I need very good light to check which one I need to use. Unfortunately being stuck in bed I have had to leave it.

Double Check

Whilst not fully recovered I have managed to sit outside for half an hour where the light is better. A quick Double Check before I finally finish the Petal.

Final Two

If you remember from last week I had trouble with a Transfer. I have now started the Bloom. I went around filling in all but those last two tricky Petals

Adjusting Petal

I very carefully Adjusted the Petal on the Right Hand Side. I curved it ever so slightly. If you look at the above photograph carefully you might just see the outline of the original Pencil Line.

Easy Does It

In order to correctly Adjust the final Petal I sewed it slightly different. I made the Petal far narrower than usual. That meant I had room to make it bigger on either side depending on how it looked in comparison to the others.

Adjusting Complete

I am glad that is over. I hope I don’t find too many more that need Adjusting like that.
