Learn to sew fabric mushroom hanging ornaments with realistic pleated underside gills, with Margeaux Davis from Willowynn. Perfect as Christmas tree ornaments, or string onto a garland or hanging mobile. Margeaux demonstrates soft sculpture techniques and tips in this simple but technical sewing project.Â
Materials
- Small fabric scraps. Linen, heavy cotton or velvet are ideal for the tops of the mushrooms. Light-weight cotton is recommended for the mushroom’s underside and stalk
- Piece of rigid flat plastic from the side of a milk or juice carton
- Fabric - heavy cotton or linens work best. Sometimes, I have also used upholstery fabrics
- Regular sewing machine thread
- White embroidery floss or fine crochet cotton
- Templates (included on page 7) printed out
- Sewing needles. One small needle and one embroidery needle
- Fabric pencil or pen
- Scissors. Fabric scissors and regular paper scissors
- Pins
- Long surgical tweezers, knitting needle, skewer or similar. To help turn out and stuff shapes
