This waist circle should measure ten inches in diameter. Do not crimp the dress skirt, but put it on in all its crisp freshness, and tie in place at the waist-line. Adjust the waist on Miss Muffett, bringing the slit opening at the back. It looks very much like a cape now, doesn't it? But draw the fulness in at the bottom and around the arms at the shoulders, and you have a little waist with full short sleeves. Tie the waist rather high, and bring it down to bag slightly over the skirt as shown in the illustration of Miss Muffett. Cut

of the same paper as the dress. [Fig. 165] shows the pattern, which is ten inches long and nine inches wide. Fold the straight edge over three times, according to the dotted lines in [Fig. 165], making the folds one and one-quarter inches wide. [Fig. 166] shows the bonnet folded, and the dotted line around the curve indicates where it is to be gathered in at the neck.
Fit [Fig. 166] on Miss Muffett's head, allowing the folded edge to extend slightly beyond her face, then draw the bonnet down at the back and gather it in with your fingers until it sits snugly to the neck. Through the middle of the fold, one inch from each end, puncture a hole, and through these two holes pass the thread that goes around the back of the bonnet and ties under Miss Muffett's chin. See illustration of sun-bonnet.
