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
METHOD
WINGS 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.

YOU WILL NEED
Linen cloth, a shade of grey
Patterned cloth, striped, dotted
or foral
Synthetic wadding
Thermo-adhesive paper
Interfacing (e.g. Vilene)
METHOD
Cut out two squares of length
11cm from both the linen and
striped cloth, then cut out one
square of the same size from
both the fower-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 of
the 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 frst part
of the lighthouse to one and
the frst letter to the other,
using some thermo-adhesive
paper.
