first I want to point out Araneras lovely Giveaway, which she's hosting at the moment. Please take a look, she has made pretty and delicious looking cakes!
Than Mrs. Molly McBurrow told me that she wants to show you a new sewing tutorial. She sewed a coat for her son Muddy and was kind enough to show us the steps. I promised to publish it here.
So, you need:
fabric (felt is perfect)
yarn
hook and loop fastener
buttons or other decorations
Step 1
Cut one pattern, which should look like this.
The size depends on your figure. Measure the length and width of the arm, add some seam allowance. Also measure the length from shoulder to feet and figure out the width from shoulder to shoulder.
Transfer the pattern to the fabric, you should get this pieces:
Now just lay the two front parts on the back and sew around the edges.
Turn around and add a small stripe of fabric - this will be the belt.
Add your hook and loop fastener and some buttons.
Finished! :)
Heres Muddy wearing the coat :D.
I hope you had fun with the tutorial!
Read you soon,
Yours Kyra

LöschenVery cute! I still need to build up some confidence to be able to sew, but this tutorial looks very do-able! Tell Muddy that those colors suit him very well!

LöschenNice tutorial! Thank you very much for sharing this. I'm so happy to have finally found your blog. I like what I see here and look forward to more. My two most recent blog posts are about SF. I'd love if you took a look! xo Jennifer
AntwortenLöschenAw, thank you so much for your lovely comment!!! :) I really feel honored - the funny thing is, that I just wanted to comment on your wonderful blog :D. And than I had seen your comment. What a coincidence!
LöschenMany greetings, read you soon :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It makes sense to use a felt type of fabric for sewing because the seam allowance is so tiny that I don't know how to make clothes for my small Sylvanians!
AntwortenLöschenExactly that was my problem, it's so hard to find out the right seam allowances and secure the edges in the same time... maybe t-shirt fabric could also work... :D glad you like it :) It's my pleasure :)
