Pictured dress is view B with contrasting hem shown on view A, size 5, except size 10 pockets.
CENTER BACK
- Stitch center back seam as directed and insert zipper.
- Sew hook and eye above zipper.
POCKETS
- Cut size 10 tan pocket pieces 9" x 18” in order to hoop and accommodate Maui’s design size of almost 5x5”.
- Bond medium weight iron on stabilizer to each pocket piece.
NOTE: Both the Moana and Maui designs selected for the pockets are stitch intensive, requiring iron on stabilizer. These designs will be hooped additionally with 2 layers of medium weight tearaway to prevent puckering.
- Press piece in half across the short side.
- Place point of pattern fold line at the left side of the crease. Rotate the pattern fold line to drop diagonally below the first crease. Keep the pattern straight of grain line parallel to the straight of grain line on the fabric.
NOTE: These are the markings for Moana’s embroidered pocket. The pattern piece for Maui’s pocket will be a mirror image of this so the two characters will face one another.
- Mark pattern cutting lines and diagonal fold line as directed below. DO NOT CUT OUT until after embroidery is complete.
- Mark pocket pattern piece as shown. Note that at the fold line the pocket is 6 3/4” wide. Mark the edges of the fold for placement of the center vertical line. This line, shown in brown, is in the center of the pocket fold line, 3 3/8” from either side.
- Prepare to embroider Moana at marked center.
TIP: The design fits in the 4x4 frame but must be hooped with the diagonal line of the pocket center in mind. Use of the 5x7 frame allows enough room for application of the snowman feature. Also, if the piece is not positioned precisely, the extra space in the 5x7 frame makes easy any necessary repositioning of the design.
The Dream Machine will scan the hoop and center the design at the cross-hairs of the snowman.
- Hoop Moana pocket piece with 2 layers of medium weight tearaway stabilizer and embroider.
- Flip the pattern piece for Maui embroidery.
- Cut out pocket pieces and seam as directed on pattern guide sheet.
Moana was embroidered with medium weight and one layer of tearaway. Still, there was some puckering. Maui was embroidered with a second layer of tearaway with better results.
- Set finished pockets aside.
FRONT
- Cut front pattern piece on fold as directed.
- Cut 5" x 7” tan rectangle for Wayfinder design.
NOTE: Wayfinder is an applique’ design 3¼" x 6”.
- Embroider Wayfinder at center front with center 3¾” from neckline.
- Stitch pockets to front as indicated by pattern. A decorative stitch was used to attach them.
NOTE: Place pockets on skirt to make certain that they do not overlap the seam allowance. For size 5, each pocket was moved closer to center--1 ½” from center front.
HEM AND NECK FACINGS
- Stitch hem as directed. Piping was added between the skirt and contrasting hem.
