Stuff you’ll need: |
|
|
Begin by making a template of the pattern pieces. This can be done by using old post cards, manila folders or taking the pattern to your local copy center and having it copied onto card stock.
ALL TRACE LINES ARE ALSO THE SEWING LINES!!
Body:
Lay out the fabrics you picked for
the legs, dress and skin color. Using the body template to determine how much of
each fabric you’ll need. Sew the three pieces of fabric together as indicated in
the photo above.
With the RST and both sides of the fabric lined up, trace the body pattern using an air erasable marker. Sew, cut leaving a 1/8" seam allowance, clip in the curves and corners. Carefully turn using a turning tool for the hands and the legs, with the hemostats pull out the remainder of the body.
Stuff carefully using your stuffing fork. Close opening using a ladder stitch.
Head:
Trace head on desired skin fabric,
sew, cut out using a1/8" seam allowance. Make a small slit at the back of the
head, stuff lightly and close using a slip stitch.
Wings:
Trace wings on desired fabric.
Sew, cut out leaving a 1/8" seam allowance. Carefully turn, stuff lightly. Give
the wings some definition by sewing two vertical lines on each wing.
Putting "Milli" together (see drawing below)
1. ~ Attach wings
2.~ Attach head
3. ~ Glue or sew a bit of hair on top of
her head
4. ~ Give "Milli" a face using your black fabric marker for the
outlines and your Berol colored pencils for the eye color, cheeks and lips.
Last paint the tips of the toes using a coordinating color of acrylic paint. Seal with two coats of acrylic sealer. Attach pin back by either glueing or sewing it into place. Enjoy!!
