I am a ...Thank you for the chemise link & info. I am a visual learner & her photos are very clear. I am definately going to attempt this on my next doll. You are right about the chemise being sewn in many different ways.....I think that has been part of my confusion.<br />I am going to do some piping on my dolls dresses too. It has such a lovely look. There is a wonderful video at the link below. Actually, Rachel has some very informative posts on hand sewing.<br /> http://ladysrepositorymuseum.blogspot.com/search/label/sewing?updated-max=2009-08-02T19:03:00-06:00&max-results=20&start=14&by-date=false<br /><br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br />Fondly,<br />SherriSherri Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106796132612922630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492336419410511101.post-18397852643539754412012-05-14T13:21:27.685-04:002012-05-14T13:21:27.685-04:00Sherri, You can visit the site below for helpful d...Sherri, You can visit the site below for helpful directions on basic sewing directions to construct a chemise. You will find the body of hers is different (I did not do) and she did the shoulder seams. You can adjust the body to a full rectangle piece continuous going from front to back. <br /><br />http://teainateacup.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/my-regency-journey-making-a-chemise/The Stitch Fiddler Bethann Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647529992351307476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492336419410511101.post-55126824226544231392012-05-14T13:02:39.876-04:002012-05-14T13:02:39.876-04:00My dear friends Thank-you soooo much!

You made my heart leap with joy with all your lovely comments.<br /><br />Sherri, Thank-you for the cartridge pleating site details, I will have to check it out today.<br /><br />I found the chemise can be sewn many different ways. The construction is long rectangles for the body (they can have a shoulder seam or one continuous piece, two separate triangles for the underarm gussets or one square (I did the square), and the skirt gores are long triangles. The neck can be gathered, squared or scooped neck to fit (I did the fitted neck with linen facing no back closure). <br /><br />You can google chemise pattern image and it can lead to a wide variety of chemise construction. <br />The diagrams are great. Also the metmuseum.org shows some antique chemises with time pierods.The Stitch Fiddler Bethann Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647529992351307476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492336419410511101.post-89599403503828683722012-05-14T10:19:58.600-04:002012-05-14T10:19:58.600-04:00Beautiful chemise & dolly.

I hand sew everything but, I am working on being more historically accurate with my clothing construction. I have struggled with the chemise. I just haven't come across directions that make it clear to me! You have done a wonderful job. Here is a link to cartridge pleating that I found to be quite helpful. <br /><br />http://izannahwalker.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/cartridge-pleating/Sherri Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106796132612922630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492336419410511101.post-70954721164054181302012-05-14T09:55:01.713-04:002012-05-14T09:55:01.713-04:00You are inspiring me to do more hand stitching.
