Pattern Making ~ Stitching ~ Hood
First, I painted my head
sculpture from college white.
(It was previously used for a Galadriel crown and Sauron Helmet)
It is slightly bigger than
my son's head, but close enough to give me a working model.
And it doesn't move like he does!
Then I drew on the racer X pattern to the shape.
I then laid the fabric on
the head and drew the pieces one by one.
Solid line for cutting, dotted line for the seam/stitching
Next, all the pieces were pinned together.
Nothing like hand basting...
the dots are the drawn on markers so I knew where to fold.
I pinned the pieces into place and then hand basted it.
After it was completely hand basted, I used the machine to sew it.
The finished product. I may
go back and touch up the back because
it looks a bit off... but we'll see. I have to make the gloves
now! Oy!
