Description of work

1.As usual, let's start by drawing a sketch of our future mannequin on a sheet of white paper using a simple pencil. If you find it difficult to draw such a picture yourself, you can use our sample or find something suitable on the Internet.2. Next, we cut out the completed sketch from paper along the outline and transfer it onto the fabric, previously folded in half with the front side inward.3.We put the cut out parts together with the back sides up, so that all their edges match perfectly and sew them together using a needle and a thread of a suitable shade. For this, we use an overcast stitch across the top, we try to make the stitches thick and small. We sew only the two side sides of the part. You can also use a sewing machine for these purposes, this will significantly speed up the work, but we decided that our mannequin should be completely made by hand.4.Through the bottom hole that remains unstitched, we turn our part right side out, we help ourselves to straighten out the narrow places with a regular pencil, after which we stuff the mannequin with padding polyester or cotton wool. We try to place the filler evenly so that it gives the product the desired volume and shape.5.Then we insert a wooden Chinese stick with its blunt end into the mannequin so that it gives rigidity to the entire product from beginning to end. After that, we carefully fold the bottom edge of the fabric inward and sew the remaining opening also using small dense stitches of the overlock seam.6.Next we will dress up our mannequin.Let's start with a fluffy multi-layered skirt, for this we will need tulle in black and pink shades. From pink tulle we cut out a strip 20 cm wide and 40 cm long, and from black a strip 10 cm wide and 40 cm long. We fold the pink tulle in half lengthwise. We put the black one on top of it and with the help of a needle and thread we gather all three layers at the same time, thus creating a fluffy tutu skirt.7. Place the finished skirt on the mannequin and sew it to it in several places using blind stitches.8. We mask the upper part of the skirt, where the gathering threads are, using a pink satin ribbon and sew it on as a belt.9. Next, from the same pink ribbon we form a small bow.10. Sew a second bow on top of the formed bow, only smaller in size, and complete the composition with a small crocheted flower with a mother-of-pearl pink bead in the center.11. Sew a bow onto the belt, thus decorating it.12.We cut out a strip of black tulle, 2.5 cm wide and 12 cm long, fold it in half lengthwise and gather it with a needle and thread along the joined edges, tighten the thread so that we get a flower, which we decorate in the center with a small pink mother-of-pearl bead.13. Sew the made flower from tulle on the side in the neck area of the mannequin and complement it with beads and pink mother-of-pearl beads. F1314.In the end, all we have to do is make a small hole in the wooden stand with a knife, insert a stick into it. On which the mannequin is held and securely fasten everything with a hot glue gun. We will also form a bow from the remains of the pink satin ribbon and glue it to the stand. If you were unable to find a suitable flat log for the mannequin stand, you can replace it with a wooden spool of thread, a suitable wine cork, etc.This is the charming decorative mannequin we got.
