sewing

I am using a Brother 1034D Overlocker and a Janome 7025 Sewing Machine to make the masks. It’s quite time consuming cutting out the 6 patterns and then sewing them all together, turning the mask inside out, stitch over the sides and insert the ribbon.

What steps are there?

• lay out fabric
• iron fabric
• pin pattern to fabric
• cut out fabric
• do this for the 6 pieces
• sew together frontpiece on overlocker
• sew together mouthpiece on overlocker
• iron mouthpiece and hem side on sewing machine
• clip all pieces together
• sew along all 4 sides on overlocker
• turn inside out
• fold over sides and stitch on sewing machine
• insert ear hops and tie together and hide in fold
• pick ribbon colour and cut off a length from the roll
• insert ribbon into mask
• fold mask
• print wee instruction paper
• insert wee instruction paper

But it’s great to see the finished piece!
