“Bite into it hard, Scissors!” laughed Tommy Pin Cushion, but Fairy Lady silenced him with a wave of her wand.
“All cut out, and so well!” she said.
Scissors Shears looked pleased, as Mary Frances laid him down on the table.
Then Fairy Lady told how
To Make Doll’s Bath Robe.—(pattern 5.)
1. Pin seams together, being certain to match notches.
Pin seams
together
2. Baste. Try on doll. Alter, if necessary.
3. Stitch, or use combination stitch (two running stitches and a back-stitch).
4. Overcast, or blanket-stitch the raw edges of the seams.
5. Fold inch wide ribbon, and slip it over the raw edges of the bath robe—that is, the fronts and neck, and the sleeves.
6. To fit ribbon around curves, gather it a short distance on the fuller edge.
When ready to cut ribbon, allow one-half inch for folding under when finishing.
Hem ends down carefully.
7. With sewing silk to match the ribbon, sew it to the robe, with small “in and out” stitches, slanting the needle slightly each time. Pull needle through to wrong side, then through to right side with each stitch—just as you did first stitches in canvas work.
8. Turn bottom of robe up one inch. Baste.
Catch-stitch with close stitches.
