So we made -
A Gnome Hat - ;))
How cute is that? -
My friend emailed me with a link to a pinterest board - HERE - saying that she had the "material" and asking if I could help her make a Gnome Hat to go with her Gnome costume for Halloween -
SIDE NOTE -
You can always tell a "non-quilter" when they call fabric "material" - LOL - ;))
Anyway -
I told her YES!! - and that the sewing part was going to be easy - the hard part would be the measuring and marking and making sure it fit correctly -
I suggested we use some newspaper to make a "pattern" before we cut into the felt - so as not to waste it. We measured and marked the newspaper - then used some Scotch Tape - to make a "paper" hat - checked the fit - and it was PERFECT!! -
So we pinned the pattern to the felt - cut that out - sewed the seam -
And now she can be a Gnome for Halloween on Tuesday - ;))
She liked it so much she wore it home -
She couldn't wait for Tuesday - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
My mother has always called fabric "material." She is not a quilter or a seamstress.
ReplyDeleteso, you really made a "muslin" from the paper and then used it as a pattern.
