After zig zagging around all the pieces I start to sew them together to make the box. I love this step because the diorama starts to come to life.

Wedding diorama cont.


After deciding on shape and size I choose fabrics to use. I chose this fabric and shape because the people that are getting married are having the wedding at a farm.
I take the fabrics and fuse them onto Fast 2 Fuse, my latest favorite material to use. After I fuse fabrics together I cut out my shapes and zig zag around the edges of all the shapes. I also always add curtains to all my dioramas and this is no exception. So I draw out the curtains and sew them with a layer of batting in between, turn them inside out and then I topstich the lines of the curtains. I used a printed fabric for these because I knew that I would be painting them gold.

Working on a wedding diorama


This is how I make my dioramas.
I start by doing a sketch and then enlarging it. First I make the outer box. I decide what size and shape it's going to be.
