Cape from Elsa
The cape will be made from the mesh, you can leave it as it is of paint on detail with some acrylic paint. Tape the mesh to a very smooth surface, like glass (from a frame for example). Put the pattern I drew under the glass and trace this with the acrylic paint on the mesh. do about 2 layers of paint and let is dry very well. The you will carefully take it off the glass.
Assembling
I always use sewing pins to position all the parts, this way I can still move all the parts around until I am happy. Then I will sew it on.
First sew
on the legs, the beige ones go on the beige part of the body, the light blue
ones go on the dark blue part of the body.
Then sew on the hair. Start on the back side, so you can sew this along the
edge of the light blue part of the body, this way you know where the front part
of the hair goes. Stuff the hair while you sew along. You will make sections of the hair. You do
this with a long piece of matching yarn and go around the part you want the
notch, pull tight until you are happy with the look. Make about 7 sections.
Now sew on the lock of hair in front and on the back sew on the strands of hair
for the braid, about 3 side by side and the other 3 on top of those. Braid
those together and tie them with a piece of light blue yarn.
Last make eyes out of felt and glue those on. Also attach the cape on her back,
you can use glue of stitch it on. Finalize some details on her face.
And you are done! Isn’t Elsa adorable?! The only thing I would change are the eyes, I really wanna embroider them on. But that’s for later! I hope you enjoyed this pattern.
Have a wonderful day!
Love
Danielle
