And One for Me

So that thought about wearing a cool mask while handing out candy on Halloween really took hold in my imagination, and I made one for me. The colors are a little different: blue with the orange rather than purple. I took some photos of my process this time, as well.

Here’s the base

The knit fabrics that I used. I started with white rayon/lycra, then dyed it with my go-to dyes, Procion dyes from Dharma Trading. The blue is Wedgewood blue, I forget what the pink/orange is.

This is 2 layers of fabric held together with fusible web. I cut the strips to the length that I want the petals to be, 1 3/4″.

Cut the petals

Wind up with a big pile.

Sew around the edges and attach them together before attaching to mask.
