We’re continuing on with our Topsy-Turvy doll.\u00a0 If you missed the previous posts, you can find part 1 here<\/a>\u00a0 and part 2 here<\/a>.\u00a0 Hope you’re having fun with this project!\u00a0 We’re making this little lady.\u00a0 Her sleeping counterpart is underneath her dress.\u00a0 Kinda fun!<\/p>\n

\"topsy<\/a><\/p>\n

\"topsy<\/a><\/p>\n

For the skirts of the dresses: (10″x40″ pieces)<\/p>\n

Topstitch\u00a0lace 2″ from one long edge of each\u00a0skirt.\u00a0 Lace will be towards bottom of skirt.<\/p>\n

Sew\u00a0center\u00a0back seams\u00a0of skirts, leaving 3″ unsewn at top.\u00a0 Press this seam open and continue pressing back 1\/4″ on unsewn section.\u00a0 Sew skirts together along bottom edges.\u00a0 Press this seam open, then fold along seam and press, creating a double-sided skirt.<\/p>\n

\"topsy-turvy-doll-2-skirts-as-one\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Treating skirts as one, gather top edge.\u00a0 This is very heavily gathered so I like to zigzag over a cord (like crochet cotton) to make my gathers.<\/p>\n

\"topsy-turvy-doll-gathering-two-skirts-as-one\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gather the skirts to fit the bodices and sew the waistline seam, matching center backs and having gathers even all around.\u00a0 (The skirts will be sandwiched between the two bodice sections.)\u00a0 Check to make sure the seam is satisfactory, then remove crochet cotton and trim seam to reduce bulk.<\/p>\n

Now\u00a0it’s time to\u00a0dress your doll.\u00a0 Make sure you put the nightgown on the side with the sleeping face and the day dress on the awake face.\u00a0 Hand sew the open center back seams on both dresses.<\/p>\n

We’re coming down the home stretch!\u00a0 Tomorrow we’ll give our ladies their hair and finish up.<\/p>\n
