One thing I have been excited to try with my GF is cutting fabric. I make doll clothes and doll clothes patterns for my business. Finding embellishments that are the right scale for dolls is tough.
I recently wanted to make some organza flowers for a doll gown I’m making. Cutting these by hand would be a tedious nightmare. And there would be no good way to seal the edges. GF to the rescue! Using this post as a guideline Settings: Silk, I cut hundreds of organza petals. I would not have been able to do this manually.
I photographed a few of the different sizes and shapes with a dime for reference and included a couple of the finished flowers.
Wow, I can’t imagine the work involved doing something like that by hand. (You need to show a few of the finished gowns too though…I’d like to see them.)
Sorry I meant to put the settings in the original post. 200 speed, 1 power.
I sprayed a piece of 1/8 Baltic birch with Krylon Easy Tack to hold the fabric in place and prevent the cut flowers flying around. It works great and didn’t leave any residue on the fabric.
