“And,” smiled Fairy Lady, “the Thimble People have been quite busy since last lesson—see?” She pulled from under the cushion of the doll’s chair a paper pattern.
“Oh, how lovely!” exclaimed Mary Frances, clapping her hands. “A real pattern just such as Mother uses when she makes my dresses? What is this pattern to be used for?”
“For a dolly’s nightgown,” replied Fairy Lady, smiling happily. “Now, the materials required are:
“Oh, how
lovely!”
Three-quarters of a yard of lawn, or muslin. Long-cloth is a very nice kind of muslin to use.
Three-quarters of a yard of lace ribbon beading.
One yard baby ribbon.
“Here they are!” said Mary Frances, hunting among the treasures in Mary Marie’s trunk.
“They are perfectly all right,” smiled Fairy Lady.
“Even to a fairy?” laughed Mary Frances.
“Even to a fairy,” nodded Fairy Lady.
