Daisy's collar

 For the collar for Daisy I used two layers of fabric, a cotton sateen as backing and poly satin for the outer fabric.

This is the base layer, it's not a complete circle. I sewed the two layers together along the outer edge to stabilize them. Then I freehanded the petalshape of the collar and sewed the layers together at those lines.

I cut out the new shape of the collar, turned it right side out and pressed it.

I unfortunately foegot that I was working with poly satin and put the iron on my regular wool setting.  Oops. I didn't want to redo the collar, so I think I will be able tobhide that little mishap.

I also topstitched all along the edges of the collar.

I sewed the collar on to the dress byvhabd aling the topstitching. 

Resurrecting Princess Daisy

 I stopped working on Princess Daisy back in the winter, but with Stockholm Comicon coming up in November it is time to finish her.

The dress needed sleeves and a collar, I needed accessories and a crown.

I will come back to the sleeves later. My friend Tom has printed the crown for me so I need to find a way of keeping it on my head and then it's on to painting it.

I have painted a tennis racket orange and a baseball bat yellow.

Now I need to make earrings and the front brooch and I think I won't be too stressed to finish it.
