THE KNICKERS.
The Chemise.
The chemise seams are joined in the same way as those of the night-gown, and narrow hems are placed round the neck and armhole edges, a little wider hem being put round the bottom of the chemise. Trim the neck and armholes with lace edging, as you did the night-gown, and draw up the neck only with ribbon.
THE CHEMISE.
The White Petticoat.
In making the little petticoat you have only one seam to join up at the centre back. You can use a French seam for this, and to make this you run the edges to be joined together on the right side, then turn your work over and run the seam down a second time. I think the little picture will explain this quite clearly to you. The seam is shown being run the second time, and you will see how this covers up the raw edges and leaves you with a neat little double seam sticking out on the wrong side of your work. This seam will be useful when you want to make dolly frocks, etc., or anything where you don’t want to show any stitches on the right side of your work, and yet want it very neat on the wrong side.
