Mabel Pines Sweater Tutorial

Here's a little tutorial on how to make Mabel Pines' Shooting Star Rainbow sweater from the cartoon Gravity Falls. This is a easy project that would be ideal for a beginner cosplayer or anyone wanting to practice hand sewing. The entire design can be sewn on by hand and it takes about 1 to 2 hours to make, depending on how quick of a sewer you are.

Materials:

• Pink sweater or jumper
• Felt in yellow, green, purple & orange.
• Thread in yellow, green, purple & orange.
• Optional: backing for the shapes.

How to make it:

1. Download the star & rainbow template here. 
2. Cut out the star template & cut the rainbow template into the three different sections.
3. Place the templates on the following colours: Star=Yellow, Piece A= Purple, Piece B= Green & Piece C= Orange.
4. Cut out the pieces. You can leave some extra material on some of the pieces if you want them to overlap each other.
5. Arrange the pieces into the shooting star design on the sweater. A good place is just above the middle. Once you are happy with their placement, pin the pieces down. Optional: place backing on the inside of the sweater to reinforce the design.
6. Sew the pieces in place starting with the purple piece. After that, sew on the green & orange pieces. The star is the last piece to be sewn on.
7. Pop on your brand new sweater & solve some mysteries!
