Introduction

Welcome to our tutorial part 2 where We Are going to make Princess Peach from Mario Bros. In this tutorial, we will be focusing on creating her dress, sewing the layers of the skirt, attaching the gemstone, and embroidering the facial features. Follow along with the step-by-step instructions as we bring the beloved character to life.

Making Princess Peach's Dress

To start, we will be working on Princess Peach's dress. If You haven't watched part 1 of the tutorial where we made the hair, crown, and shoes, be sure to check it out and complete those steps before proceeding. Once you have the foundation for the body, we will begin with the dress.

1. Making the dress in pastel pink: Using a long thread, make 25 open chains and work the dress in either half double crochet or double crochet from the Second chain. This will form the base of the dress (row 1).
2. Adding the finishing touches: From the top of the dress, work one row of double crochet as an edge for the blouse. Then, work a row of single crochets, resulting in 24 single crochets (row 2).

Making the Layers of the Skirt

Now that the dress is complete, we will move on to creating the layers of the skirt.

1. Increasing the stitches: Start by increasing the stitches in each row. Begin with a chain and turn the work. Work three stitches and then an increase. Repeat this pattern throughout the row using half double crochet (row 3).
2. Skipping stitches and creating increases: In this step, we will skip 8 stitches and make an increase in the 9th stitch. Repeat this pattern throughout the row, resulting in a total of 20 stitches (row 4).
3. Continuing the pattern: Work four more rows, each with 20 stitches, using the same pattern (rows 5-8).
4. Knitting additional rounds: Knit 12 more rounds with the same 20 stitches (rows 9-20).
5. Finalizing the skirt: Work 2 more rounds with 60 stitches, followed by one round of single crochet using the contrasting color (rows 21-23).
6. Sewing the layers: Sew the layers of the skirt to the dress using the slip stitch, ensuring they are centered and aligned.

Sewing the Layers and Gemstone

With the layers of the skirt in place, we will now focus on sewing the layers and attaching the gemstone.

1. Sewing the layers: Take the Threads of the slipped stitches and sew the layers together using both threads to ensure a secure and invisible seam.
2. Attaching the gemstone: Using a smaller needle, Create two matching pieces for the gemstone. Sew them together, leaving a small opening to insert stuffing. Close the opening and sew it onto the center of the dress.
3. Adding the earrings and pearls: Sew the Blue earrings near the temple on each side. Place the pearls on the crown, with two blue pearls on the sides and one red pearl in the center.

Embroidering the Eyes and Mouth

To bring Princess Peach's face to life, we will embroider her eyes and mouth.

1. Making the eyes: Using white thread, create an Outline around each eye, starting with a line around the pupil and extending outward. Repeat the process with blue or light blue thread, creating a second outline.
2. Embroidering the eyebrows: Using thin black thread, embroider diagonal lines above each eye to create the eyebrows.
3. Adding the mouth: Using thin black or matching thread, create a small, delicate smile about 4 rounds below the nose.

Final Touches and Recommendations

To ensure a polished finish for Princess Peach, follow these final touches and recommendations:

• Hide any remaining threads and secure them.
• Sew the crown in the center with the three points corresponding to the hair.
• Sew the layers in a well-centered position, making sure they Align properly.
• Embroider the facial features with thin thread for a more delicate appearance.
• Consider adding a touch of Blush color to the cheeks for a subtle rosy look.
