Text of the page (random words):
is stronger than regular thread nothing is more annoying than your thread breaking while you are stitching so use good quilting thread here you see that i have sewn it down already use wide lace or you can do what i did this lace is not lace at all it is part of a piece of a nice old sweater that is right a sweater i like the holiness of the sweater plus this is a fine sweater not bulky at all since this sweater is thin i will need to cut 12 inches of it in length i used the bottom of the sweater i cut the sweater 3 inches wide i do realize that it is hard to tell what i have done here but i folded the length in half the raw edges are at the left the right side is the folded side the top and bottom of this piece are the raw edges see the bottom at how the edge rolls up that is why i cut the sweater up i got tired of my sweaters hem rolling up the sweater was free it was mine and it was clean and had no defects okay so i picked up the piece and stitched the 2 sides together into a tube can you see that it is just one piece now with a seam i started at the bottom rolled edge start at the seam and just sew all around the tube so you can gather it up here it is being gathered gather it nicely and pin it to the sponge be sure to put your lace or sweater fabric on the side of where you sewed down the ribbon cause we want to hide the ribbon seam keep in mind that as you are looking at my photo you can see the rolled hem of my sweater i will try to stitch the sweater to the seam of the sponge this is your guide i stitch with one strand of the thread hide your knot and begin sewing as close to the ribbon as possible be sure to keep the sweater or lace as close to the seam as you sew do not make your stitches too small or to big also hold the lace or sweater with your thumb like i am doing in this photo this is just to get started as you can see here in this photo i have opened up the sweater tube so i can get my fingers on the inside to help hold the fabric down with my thumb i am almost finished sewing this is what it should look like when you are finished now you should stitch a trim there to hide the stitching and also to finish it off nicely you can pin it down or hold it down and sew as you go you are the stitcher so do whatever is comfortable to you i have sewed on the trim and hid the seams or any frayed edges you do the same now scrunch up the top as you see here and you will see and feel that it is a little too thin i took a sponge and cotton quilt batting i cut 4 pieces of the batting the size of the sponge just lay the sponge on top of some folded batting and cut the batting but make sure not to cut the sponge now open it back up and put the 4 layers of cotton batting inside scrunch up the top again and make sure that it feels good to your fingers if it looks to thin then just add another layer or 2 of cotton batting get someone to hold the top closed as tight as possible take some quilting thread and tie around the top like you see here keep going round and round the top until you are near the end of your thread be sure to knot off the thread and then cut away any excess here the knotting is finished this is what the top looks like for both styles when you fluff out the top i call this tuft of fabric a flower for style 1 push the flower down then pin on the corsage pin the flower can be seen around the corsage pin for style 2 you must cut off some of the flower so that when you pin on the turtle corsage pin the flower is hidden beneath the corsage pin this is the side that you pat into the powder i hope you liked this easy powder puff say you saw it here and always link back please give me credit for tutorials that i give to you thank you for visiting me come again hopblogger posted by hopblogger at 10 59 pm 4 comments labels powder puff sunday october 16 2016 annie s pincushion hello everybody how have you all been i hope you are all crafting i bet you think that i forgot about you but that is not so sometimes it takes me a while to put something together sometimes what i have planned does not always look right or go together so i scrap it and move on that generally takes me on hunts this is the last of my half doll pincushions that i will make for a while i have more half dolls that need pincushions but my aim here was to show you how i make and put these pincushions together believe me anyone can do this do not worry about ever washing these pincushions because there is no way to do so unless you take them apart and remake them when you purchase an old one from the net because it has not been washed in about 50 years or longer then it is time to renew the pincushion and update it all to your liking however some of them are vintage and are so sweet that perhaps you just want a vintage one sitting around nothing is wrong with that folks just spray some febreeze on it if it smells i love vintage also after this listing next month i was going to post little patterns on different sizes of the cushions but there is not any need for that if you read here about the strips further down then you will see that you can make the strips as wide or as tall as you want i will post pincushion patterns for these half dolls that are unusual i love unusual and different as they show character to the pieces by now everyone that enjoys making these pincushions know how easy they are the directions for annie s pincushion is simple and some of it you can refer back to the other pincushion directions if you do not understand always refer back to my previous pincushions directions always link back thank you annie s pincushion will be sent to her by the end of this week it must go to england she turned out lovely don t you think so the height of annie is 7 to almost 7 5 inches tall front of annie back of annie this is the fabrics that i had planned for annie all of these fabrics blended so well with her blouse these worked up so nicely i only had problem with the fabric on the left it was so stiff and stood out like a pumpkin as you can see i did not use it i scrapped that idea and opted for a lovely stiff lace to go around the bottom of the dress and the same lace to go around the waist the inside of the fabric was a lovely barbie gown that i used because i could not find anything that matched the way that i liked the other 2 surrounding fabrics were brand new i started out with 4 pieces of the solid green fabric each of the 4 strips measured a little over 2 5 inches wide x 7 inches tall to accommodate the seams if you want this fatter or wider then merely adjust the strips by cutting them taller or wider super easy next sew them by the machine for strength into a tube try not to make your seams too big as this will cut down on the size of the pincushion that you are trying to make this is by far my most favorite of making these pincushions i love to turn down a hem to the inside on the bottom and top as you can see just turn under a small piece of the top and hand sew it all around i use quilting threads with small quilting needles to give the thread even more strength double it up after you sew it all around gather it up tightly and knot it off you want a small hole take some cardboard and a template of some kind i use a lid here that measures almost 3 inches around i am using cereal boxes so i cut out 2 pieces of this cardboard and glue together for strength let dry for a couple of hours before proceeding on i have inserted the cardboard inside of the tube this is a big zip lock bag full of cotton stuffing i use cotton batting for all of the pincushions it is better for the needles i cut it up and put it into the bags and use it when i need it this is easier for me the bag is generally really stuffed with the cotton batting even though you cannot tell it like i have said many times stuff your pincushions really hard things settle over time once you have finished stuffing turn under a small piece of the fabric and hand sew all around the edge knot it off and gather it tightly she is finished only thing to do now is to even out the pincushion with my hands by pushing and moving the cotton stuffing around here is the top i will not go into attaching the half doll onto the pincushion again as by now you probably know how to do it if not just take a look back at the other pincushions annie is now attached also i did not add any directions here on the skirt cause the other dolls show how to do so annie before anything is added to her skirt a picture underneath annie s skirt i only had a little bit of the lace for this doll s gown i hand sewed it on when doing this do not cut off any lace wait until you finish sewing it on before you cut off any excess sewing around almost finished sewing when you come to the end always leave about an inch of the lace before cutting off the excess so that you can turn under the raw edge afterwards i folded in the sides of that raw edge and hand stitched down the length of the lace to the bottom edge so that the lace did not just stick up the pincushion dolls always need something around their waist to finish them off i was lucky to have just enough of the lace to gather up and affix around her waist i then took a long length of lovely ribbon and tied around her waist tightly then i tied it into a lovely bow it is evident that the dress needed something more it took me a while to find something that had a lining attached to it i ended up using a child s slip that i think was vintage hey i remember wearing them anyway the slip was 2 pieces an overskirt with an underskirt this was perfect so i cut off a piece of the skirt cut off bigger so it gathers a good rule of thumb as to how much or how wide to cut off of an existing skirt is that you need a good width for fabrics that are thin cut off at least 12 inches wide and measure the height of the pincushion and add about an 1 5 inch for the top turn down a hem to the inside and in my case here you must try to keep the overskirt bottom lace edge even with the underskirt hem as good as you can it is slippery pin it or keep it even as you go with your fingers and hand stitch down as you go keep adjusting it as you stitch around again i always use quilting thread and a quilting needle always double the thread when gathering for strength be sure to leave a long piece of thread when you finish sewing the hem down cut it off and then knot it put the skirt on over the pincushion and draw up the threads tightly and knot it tightly about 3 times then cut off the threads leaving a half inch tail behind then take your fingers and lightly smash in the gathers around the doll and under her if possible always refer back to the previous directions for the half doll pincushions as each one tells you new tips that i have learned along the way a view of the top of the slip annie is all finished a peek of her 2 slips or underskirts the back of annie enjoy thank you for visiting me posted by
