Patchwork - easy and simple, is it possible? Of course - thanks to our schemes and detailed and accessible explanations of all stages of work.
Many beloved fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland" was written in 1865 by the Englishman Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. This story was so fond of readers, and not just small ones, that it was repeatedly filmed. The newest film version of Tim Burton with the participation of John Depp in one of the main roles, was created in 2010. On these panels, each of the few details plays a decisive role and accurately characterizes its hero. All the motifs are made in a simple application technique, which even a novice craftswoman can handle. It is easy to master the main decorative seams.
Block size: 20 x 30 cm
A model with this plot can be combined with other similar blocks on the same topic and become part of the patchwork series Alice in Wonderland. Then it does not need a border around the perimeter and simply connects along open sections with neighboring blocks into a large panel. To design a block as an independent model, a traditional edging or border-frame is required.
YOU WILL NEED
• Hand dyeing fabrics:
- olive-green fabric for the background: 25 x 35 cm
- flaps of fabrics in the following colors:
* blue for Alice's dress and umbrella
* cream for face and hands
* golden for hair and doorknob
When using the unit as an independent model, in addition to this, you will need:
- fabric for the back: 22 x 32 cm
- interlining: 22 x 32 cm
- ready-made oblique trim for edging slices: 110 cm
Tip: the finished unit can also be inserted into a regular frame of the appropriate size.
MANUFACTURE
1) Cutting out the details
On the fabric for the background, from the wrong side, mark a 20 x 30 cm rectangle in the center, make 0.5 cm allowances around the perimeter, and cut out the part = background rectangle.
Cutting out the remaining details and the width of the allowances are given below in the description of the work.
2) Application (technique)
Tip: for the convenience of work, the parts shown on sheet B (Fig. 1) should be transferred to cardboard and cut out = templates.
• Lay out templates on acc. fabric on the front side and circle around the contour, make an allowance of 3 mm and cut out the details (motifs from felt are cut out without allowances).
• Unscrew allowances along marked contour lines on the wrong side and mark (with the exception of sides on which another part is superimposed.
• In order to correctly place the motifs of the applique on the background, transfer the entire picture to tracing paper. Then put a tracing-paper with a pattern on the background rectangle in the center and pin it at the upper corners (so that the tracing-paper was fixed, but it could be turned up). Motifs successively lay under the tracing paper, checking the location according to the drawing on it, and pin.
• Sew applications with floss thread in 2 threads, separating them from the skein - see "Basics of the patchwork".
• Place templates on acc.Fabrics (see. "You will need"), circle along the contour, make allowances of 0.3 cm and details to cut out.
• Sew details of motives on the background fabric with appropriate threads (see photo) in the following sequence:
- first Alice's face, arm and dress, then the lapel of the sleeve, the collar and the belt, lastly the hair
- table legs, countertop
- umbrella, umbrella stand
- door, doorknob
- plate and leaflets made of fabric
• Sew the felt leaves with separate stitches with brown thread, imitating the veins.
• Embroidery according to the photo:
- "Rabbit" embroider on the plate with a brown thread with a seam "back needle"
- door trim along the contour with beige thread with stitches "back to the needle" and "nodules"
- umbrella handle - brown thread seam "back needle"
- the upper edge of the umbrella - seam "forward needle" brown thread
• Sew an oval button and a button in the shape of a heart onto the countertop in the form of a bottle. Sew on a key chain "Key".
• Attach a label to the bottle on the string.

If the unit is used as a separate model:
• Fold the block with applications with a non-woven back and back, respectively. sweep away all layers - see "Basics of patchwork".
