** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing
the Block **
I suggest for this one, since there are once again
many pieces, that you print off several copies of the templates. Darken the outlines for
each piece you will need...cut out...add the 1/4" seam allowances. Note that the suit
is cut out all in one piece. Dotted lines on the templates show pieces that are underneath
other pieces. I didn't list it as a needed color, but you will also need an 8 1/2-9"
square of white background fabric! You'll also need some black floss for the facial
features, and some floss to match the suit color, to embroider the arm separations and
jacket outline.
Follow the directions below for order of placement
:o) |
|
 |
On an 8 1/2"-9" square of white background
fabric, lay out ALL the pieces, so that you can arrange them where you like them best.
Remove all but the moon. Pin it in place and appliqué it to the background, using thread
to match the piece being sewn on... |
|
 |
Next, lay the whole leaper back on to make sure you
like the placement, then remove all but the hands, shirt cuffs, face, collar, vest and
feet. Pin these on, having the shirt cuffs overlap the wrists, and the collar
overlap the neck and appliqué them in place, using thread to match ... |
|
 |
Then pin on the suit and the hair and
appliqué them
in place, using thread to match ... |
|
 |
Now add the stripe on the right pant leg, and
appliqué it in place, using thread to match ... |
|
 |
Next using black floss and backstitch, embroider the
sleeve separation lines, and the lower jacket line. Also embroider a small pocket line on
the vest, the facial features and a lapel line. You may chose to do the jacket embroidery
in another color floss to match the suit color you chose!
Here's
one that Nancy made!
