Plane Patterns on page 92

YOU WILL NEED

Linen cloth, a shade of grey

Patterned cloth, striped, dotted

or checked

Synthetic wadding

Cotton thread, cream

Thermo-adhesive paper

Interfacing (e.g. Vilene)

Two small buttons

Four big buttons

Two skewers

Double-sided tape

METHODWINGS AND TAIL

Copy all the patterns on to

some thin cardboard and cut

out.

Fold the linen cloth face to

face and place the pattern of

the plane on it.

Fix with pins. Lightly draw the

outline of the pattern, then

sew along the whole perime-

ter excluding the front of the

plane, as shown on the pattern

with a dashed line (FIG.A).

FIG.A

Cut the sewn pattern out

leaving about 0.6cm of safety

margin around the seam line.

Using a pair of scissors, make

some incisions around this margin.

The Alphabet of the Sea Patterns on page 97

YOU WILL NEED

Linen cloth, a shade of grey

Patterned cloth, striped, dottedor oral

Synthetic wadding



METHOD

Cut out two squares of length

11cm from both the linen and

striped cloth, then cut out one

square of the same size fromboth the ower-patterned and

dotted cloth. This will give you

a total of six squares.

Double up the striped squa-

res with some interfacing, by

ironing it on the wrong side of

the fabric.

These will form the base ofthe cubes.

By being more rigid than the

others, they will give better

stability to the entire cube

composition.

Following the General Instruc-

tion on page 7, decorate

the two linen squa-

res by applying the rst part

of the lighthouse to one and

the rst letter to the other,

using some thermo-adhesive

paper.
