“When making a ruffle
Or sewing on lace,
Measure once and a half
’Round the sewing on space.”
“How shall I finish these ends?” Margaret asked when she had measured and cut a piece of lace for the collar.
“Tiny Stitcher will hem them for you before you begin to gather,” said Sir Bodkin.
It was no sooner said than done.
“The lace for each sleeve is sewed together at the ends with a French seam,” said the King.
“Oh, yes, I remember. Sew the ends together first on the right side, turn the seam, and then sew it on the wrong side so no raw edges will show, just like we did on the marble-bag,” Margaret cried.
