Another Evening - Another Mask 2020 Part 4

Another Evening - Another Mask 2020 Part 4

Time to Accessorise.

Equipment for Threading

 






To make the Accessories I needed a Needle, Gold Thread, Oval and a Sequin.

Double Thread

I Doubled the Thread and Pulled through the Hole Hanger.

Pull Through











I Pulled the Tail through Loop.

Looped

 










Once through I Pulled the Thread Tight.

Pull Through Sequin








Next I Threaded the Needle through the Sequin

Top Hole

 










I then passed the Needle through the Smaller Hole at the Top which was directly underneath the first one. This wasn’t as easy as it sounded.

I had to hold the Sequin whilst Pulling the Thread because when I didn’t it shot up to the Top.

Bottom Hole

 






After doing the Top I did the same process (including the holding) with the Bottom.

Secure Front

 









I originally wanted to Thread through on the Left and Right. However when I tried I found that those Holes were merely decorative.

Therefore I Pulled through the Holes next to the Bottom instead.

Secure Back

 









Once I had Pulled the Thread through a couple of times I Secured it at the Back.

Gurkha Night

 










I made three of the items and slipped onto a cord and the others onto Earring Hooks.

Duchess

 










Here I am with Accessories and Mask. That is the Another Night – Another Mask Completed.

Mademoiselle Marionette’s Crimson Christmas 2019

Mademoiselle Marionette’s Crimson Christmas 2019

Apologies - this should have been posted prior to the Hurley Burley Blog.

One thing that Mademoiselle Marionette does not have at present is some Evening Gowns. I am about to correct that.

Crimson Material












I wanted something Festive and found some Crimson Sequin Material with a Sparkly Band

Which Way Up












After much deliberation I decided that I would swap the Material around so I had the Band at the Top of the Gown.

Hemmed











I then Hemmed the Material on Three Sides. This is because I knew what I was going to do with the Top but not sure what I was going to do at the Bottom. I did trim the Bottom though.

Ribbon







I wanted Crimson Ribbon but couldn’t find any so I sent Boyfriend off to the Market to find some bless him. He came back with exactly what I wanted so I placed it on the Material and Measured the Length.

Ribbon Hemmed









The Length was important as I was going to use the Ribbon to make a Cross Over. Therefore it had to be long enough to Cross Over the Chest area. Then it had to go around the Neck and have enough to tie.

Once I was satisfied that I had enough Ribbon to do this I cut it and Hemmed both Ends. I then Folded the Material over the Ribbon and Hemmed it securely.
