Henny Penny







The weekend was very satisfying as we managed to get lots done around the house....even built a chook pen. The next day 5 little red hens arrived, approved the accommodation and decided to stay. Lots of great chook poo for my plants as well as the fresh eggs.


I thought a quick tutorial on using the Turning Tool that I mention in my patterns would be a good idea, it will be on the Tutorials Page in the Website soon as well.


This is how I turn a limb etc right side out:
After you have sewn the doll part, cut and snip as per pattern instructions. Dampen your fingers and separate the fabric layers by gently rubbing. When the layers are separated enough, push the tube into the fabric near seam and ease it up inside the body part. Don't start at the open end when turning a part right side out.









Had a great idea...about midnight ( the time of all bright ideas) on how to make transferring the face from pattern to doll a little easier for everyone....more on that soon.

Happy sewing
Deb
ps. Vera, thank you so much you made my day:)
