Area of Study: Drawn Thread & Embroidery Class Hours: 6 Class Type: Project Skill Level: All
This crisp little dress is an 18" doll version of Molly - A Drawn Thread Yoke Dress. Made from the finest dress linen,
this knee length "Dolly Molly" has a piped peter pan collar and puff sleeves. The front bodice, hem and sleeve areas
are dressed up with hemstitched tucks and a decorative colored thread hemstitching combinations – all parts of the lessons
we will learn during class time.
Stitches mastered in this fun project include: hemstitching, hemstitching along a fold (this is how the tucks are created),
shadow hemstitching and blanket stitch embellishments. These techniques can be mastered using practice cloth or if you feel
confident in your stitching abilities, you can start right off stitching on your dress fabrics.
All of the dress construction will be completed at home. Several detailed instructions are enclosed to help aid a student
of any sewing level complete this project.
