How to Craft the Petticoat
Making an undercoat for Camille is easy
providing you follow a few simple steps and have your materials
gathered. You will need lace edge, fabric, thread, and the
ability to sew. To start you begin French stitching the seams
and gather the seams at the shoulder so that it meets the front
and back section of the bodice. Press after you cut the seams
that overlap the armholes. Next cut 10-mm and about 2/5 inches
of the thin edges of your lace, cutting it into dual nine ½-inch
lengths. One length should be cut around 12 inches lengthwise.
Crisscross your stitches and add 12 inches of length to your
lace at the inner region of the untreated edges of your collar.
Sew the right side collectively and crisscross, stitching the
lace to join with your fabric so that it meets the collar.
Perform the same actions to finish around the armholes. Press
the middle of the back at the fold lines until it forms a facing
at the back. Stitch in a straight line down the length of your
row without stitching the lace near the crown face.
The side seams should connect. Next, use fabric glue to attach
the free thread at the seams of your armhole. Press the upper
sections of the dress and cut your insertion lace about 2 ½
yards. Spray craft starch to the area and press. Use your
inclusion lace, placing it ¼ inch onto the surface stitching row
at the skirt bottom. Now, stitch a straight line so that it
joins with the crown of your lace. Press the lace away from the
left side of your fabric. Cross-stitch the over crown of your
lace without touching the fabric, stitching only into the lace.
Cut left over and press. Cut 2 ¼ yards of inclusion lace, starch
and then press before placing it over a stitch line from the
base line of your inclusion. First, create an outer stitch line
and then press, and stitch another row, press. On the left side,
cut your fabric down at the center of your stitch rows. Press
your fabric on each end so that it does not touch the lace.
Cross-stitch the base line of your lace. Press, and stitch a
couple of lines while collecting your stitches near the
waistline. The side seams should connect, as well as the back
region. Now you can pin your skirt so that it attaches to the
both rights of your bodice. Starting at the middle rear, pin the
yokes back and fold your seams permitting the rear back and back
room.
The bodice should fit your fabric. Pull it up, collect evenly,
and continue to stitch to fitting. Cut the seams and check your
zigzags for evenness. Before adding, the edges of your lace to
the inclusion make sure that the garment fits your doll. Test it
by trying it on her.
Now trim 3 4/5 yards of the ¾-inch edges of your lace. Starch,
press, and pull the thread to the crown and at the end and edges
of your lace. Collect the lace, gathering it at the bottom and
bundle it so that it connects to the inclusion lace. Finish with
a crisscross stitch. Next, complete the edges at the rear seams.
Thread the fabric and lace so that it marks your pattern, and
pressing once, you make the inclusion even with your stitches.
Now you can create buttonholes.
You will need to mark the area where you want to add buttons.
Use fabric glue along the buttonholes and pin. Now you can
stitch your buttons.
