Materials

Fabric and trims as
Specified on Pattern
Tacky Glue
Needle, thread,
scissors and other basic sewing tools
|
|
To make stockings, use black cotton
stretch net.
Cut two pieces 2" x 3".
|
|
Apply glue around doll's ankle, just
above the top of shoe. Also apply a straight line of glue
up center back of dolls leg, extending into the fabric wrapped
portion of the leg. Place one straight edge of net along
glue line, and other snug against the top edge of shoe.
|
|
Pull netting around leg tightly, adjusting as
necessary. Bring around to center back. Run a small bead of glue
next to previously glued edge. Pulling fabric snug, bring around and
anchor into glue. When glue is fairly dry, trim off excess fabric,
butting edges of netting together to form center back seam.
|
|
Finished stocking.
|
|
Cut out pantaloons using pattern
piece. Fray check all edges. Apply 1/2" black
lace across bottom edge of each pantaloon piece.
|
|
Place glue on center front and center back seams of
one pantaloon piece. Place this piece and remaining piece right sides
together, joining front and back seams. Dry glue with warm iron.
|
|
Right sides together, glue crotch
edges.
|
|
Run two rows of gathering stitches
across top edge of pantaloons. Place pantaloons on doll
and pull up gathering stitches tightly. Knot gathering
stitches and apply a small dot of glue to the knot. Trim
threads.
|
|
Cut slip piece and seal all edges with
fray check. Apply 1/2" wide lace to bottom edge of
slip. Right sides together, glue the center back seam of
slip. Dry glue with warm iron, turn slip to right side and
press.
Sew two rows of gathering stitches
across top edge of slip.
|
|
Place slip on doll just below natural
waistline, and pull up gathering stitches tightly. Tie off
threads, glue knot, and trim ends.
Run a small bead of glue under seam
allowance around waist, and press raw edges into glue to reduce
bulk around waist.
|
 |
Join two skirt back pieces right
sides together along bottom and side edges, either by gluing, as shown,
or sewing.
Turn skirt back to right sides, and press
well. |
 |
Cut 3/4" black lace
according to pattern instructions, and gather along top edge of
lace. Apply by gluing or sewing to skirt back, with bottom edges
of lace and skirt back even at bottom. |
 |
Glue 1/8" velvet ribbon over
top edge of lace. |
 |
Cut skirt front fabric and skirt
front lace panel from pattern pieces. Glue lace to fabric along
side edges. There will be excess lace in the center of the piece. |
 |
Gather top edge of lace, and draw
up gathers to match the fabric panel underneath. Glue top edges
together. Arrange folds on lace attractively down center front of
panel, and lightly mist with hairspray to hold. |
 |
Glue one finished side edge of
skirt back over one side edge of front panel. |
 |
Repeat for second side edge of
skirt back. Skirt now forms a complete circle, with front panel in
center. |
 |
Run 1/8" velvet ribbon down
the side edges of front panel, where skirt back overlaps.
The skirt is finished for now, so set aside,
and let's work on the bodice. |
