When you put the wire in the wings, does in go thur. the big part? (the lilac and pink) And is the wire all one big part, running thur. both wings?
Thanks!
I unfortunately only had pipe cleaners at the time so the wire was broken up. Try and use one continual piece if you can, so it doesn't come unravelled after a few bends.
B/c I was thinking of have 4x pieces of the big wing part and only having 2x pieces of the inside wing. Could you explain to me when/ how I should get the wire in the wings?
I mean do I sew like a little line running all the way from the tip of the wing to the base and just insert the wire into there?
I'm like so confused when it comes to wire and wings.
Fold the tip of the wire (in the tip of the wing) over into a loop, and sew the loop to the wing tip, preferably into the seam so its not very noticible. You can sew the wire in with a few stitches at other points too, just little patches so its not as noticible, and that will hold the wire in place, provided you're not too rough with it.
You probably don't need to wire the smaller part if it's only one layer thick, because it will be sewn directly onto the larger wing for stability.
try making small, quick versions with messy stitching just to see how it'll all work.
I add my wings on when I've finished everything else, either sewing them in to the main body or hidden stitching them on afterwards. They just get in the way otherwise XD
So what you're saying is to, fold the wire in half so there is a loop at the end. And then sew the loop into the wings using small stitches and some other small stitches along the wire, just to keep in held in place???
Try on a smaller test wing just to see if you get the result you want.
