WENNDY’S DRESSMAKERS

Vendy Lady its going to make a muslin frock for her baby sister, id has written to ask for a rather Ily pretty pattern. So we have very busy planning one that will her; We made one just like this ie Wendy Baby, who looks more ble than ever in it, and we think like it too! ill need a yard of spot muslin —or material you fancy—for the wee the muslin need not be more than jhefl wide. Fold it in half, so that ave it 24 inches wide and 18 inches then slope a little away each side e top, for baby’s shoulders. (See im A for this). Now cut through est of the top fold, and make a shallow curve, as shown in the dia-j-.up the two little shoulder seams; the side seams, stopping 4 inches the top for the arm holes. Turn narrow hem all round the little , and it will look pretty if you over the line of the hem with pink ue silk stem-stitching. xpect you’re wondering what you 1 to do with the very wide necking, aren’t you? Bun a gathering d all round, and pull it up until the will just slip over baby’s head; it off when you are quite sure that 8, and stitch the gathered edge into Ided piece of pink ribbon, or. bias ng, as shown in diagram B. You. go over the stitches with matching ’afterwards, if you like. Be ever ireful to got the gatherings evenly ibuted, won’t you ? »w bind the armholes with similar >n or bias binding, and the dress is led. You can get a card of bindin any colour you want, for sixe; and it is simpler to manage than on because it is cut on the cross and urves round more easily. . you care to embroider a tiny posy plourcd silk' flowers on the front of dress, do so! The diagram shows how to do it, and baby sister is sure ove the flowers. Wendy’s Dressmaker.
