Crikey Not Christmas 2022 Part 15

 Crikey Not Christmas 2022 Part 15

Well my hand has healed so I can get on with more crafting. This is just as well since this is blog 15 and I am beginning to think it will be Christmas by time I finish making this.

Trying to Place

 

I now have to try and work out where to Place the Ivy. This is easier said than done. I have to take into consideration both the Top and the Sides of the Wreath.

In addition to this I have to think where I am going to Place the Holly and the Ribbons. 

Turn Ivy

 

After messing about adding and removing Ivy and Holly numerous times I decided to do a test.

Add Glue to Back

 

I turned the Ivy over and began to carefully add some Fabric Glue. I only wanted to put the Glue on the Upper most part of the Leaf.

Pin Low

 

I Placed the Ivy in line with the Pine Cone but leaving a Gap. I Pinned it just below where I had put the Glue. This is so I didn’t Glue the Pin too. If I did the Leaf would come away when I removed it.

Three Stuck

 

Once I was satisfied with the outcome of the first Placement I added another two Ivy Leaves. Again I Placed them underneath the Pine Cones.

This is going to be my basis for the rest of the Wreath additions.

Mademoiselle Marionette 2018 Part 21

No outfit is complete without Shoes. Here are some I made.

Red Circle

  

I took a Circle I cut out and snipped off the ends. I then proceed to just quickly Tacked the ends.

Red Shoe Front Sewn

I started to Blanket Stitch up the Front part of the Shoe

Checking Shoe Size

I slipped the Shoe on to the Marionette’s Foot to Check the Size. Once satisfied I carried on sewing to the right place.

Two Ribbons Attached

 

I needed to make sure the Shoe didn’t come off so I added a couple of Ribbons so they could be tied Ballet style.

A Tri-colour of Shoes

 

Here are the three traditional colours.

Blue Party Shoes

Here I did a pair of Shoes and added a couple of Bows to glitz them up ready for partying.
