Mandy Modelling The Nightcap<\/p><\/div>\n

Before we move on – here is the Glittering Nightcap, being modelled by Mandy, who was given to me for my first Christmas.\u00a0 My grandfather made me a cradle to fit her, and I intend to make some bedding, and some clothes for Mandy, to go with the patchwork coverlet my grandmama made for the cradle. Unfortunately, I carried Mandy around by her hair for years, so the hair you can see is a wig, which in turn meant that that when I found Mandy again I didn’t think any modern little girl would welcome her. The cradle, with bedding and Mandy will end up as a sort of display piece. Eventually.<\/p>\n

In the meantime – doesn’t she look sweet!<\/p>\n

\"Etui<\/a>

Etui Sections<\/p><\/div>\n

The \u00e9tui is made of triangular sections covered with brocade and mounted on brocade covered circles to create a little pyramid. Each external face consists of skirtex with padding covered with brocade, and then has a different element – a doctor’s flannel panel for needles, an ultrasuede scissor pocket, a pincushion, and a brocade pocket for stilettos or mellors. The ultrasuede is a real trial to stitch – very, very tough to get the needle into – but it’s done now.<\/p>\n

Each face is backed by another triangle, of card covered with brocade, and the two slip stitched together. Then there will be the interesting challenge of mounting the triangles somehow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
