Another Evening - Another Mask 2020 Part 3

On to the difficult bit.

Add Sequins

 

I couldn’t leave the Ovals as they were because it lacked something. Therefore now I had all the Ovals in place I had to add the Sequins.

This was exceptionally difficult as I had to work out wear the Sequins need to be placed.

Oval and Round

 

It took a great deal of time and patience to get the Sequins so they looked as if they were joined to the Ovals. I was quite happy with the end result.

Add Back

 

I already had a Hemmed cloth that I intended to use as another Mask. However I decided to use this as the Back.

Black Pouch

 

This is a different way of creating a Pouch for the Tissues. Rather than two pieces of material I am only using one. You can see in the above photograph that I have not Trimmed the Material to fit.

Envelope

 

Instead of Trimming and Re-hemming I have decided to make a Flap. I Folded the Corners and Sewed in place.

Perfect Back

I then Folded the Flap inside to make a Perfect Back

Wearable Mask

I now had a Wearable Mask.

Continuing with Another Evening Mask

Bottom Ovals

 

I have now Sewn on 9 Ovals at the Bottom of the Mask. It is time to add some more.

Ovals Pinned

 

I have added another layer of Ovals and Pinned. As you can see from the above photograph this is not easy to try on.

Sewn Ovals

I have now sewn the Ovals in place. However it looks a little sparse under the eyes.

Oval-ly Done

I added all the Ovals I had Sewed on and looked in the Mirror. I am surprised it didn’t crack. Therefore I decided to Unpick most of them and rearrange.

I have taken off some of the lower Ovals and moved them higher up. I tried it on and it still looked dreadful.

Better with Less

 

I needed a major rethink. I thought that if I moved in the Bottom ones and kept it to a maximum of five that would be Better. I could then arrange the upper ones so things were more Central. Remember the old adage Less is More.

One Evening Mask is not enough so here is another one.

Pin Original Mask

 

I am using the Original Evening Mask as a Template. I Cut around it giving it extra room for Hemming.

Hem Evening Mask

I Hem the Mask. It seems larger than I thought. I may have to reduce it later.

Ribbon Added

I Fold a Ribbon over the Edge of the Mask and Sew to make the Straps.

Pin and Reduce

As I mentioned previously I thought the Mask looked a little large. When I tried it on it drowned me. Therefore I decided to Fold the Top of the Mask over on itself to Reduce it. I then simply Sewed across.

Pin in Place

I could now start adding the Embellishments. These are the Ovals that Beads from the last Mask came from. I started Pinning in place. I wanted to make sure they were evenly spaced.

Gold Oval Sewn

After I Pinned the first three Gold Ovals I Sewed them in place. I then added some more to the Ends.
