LACE LACE SURROUNDED BY LACE ~The Stitch Fiddler~ Izannah Walker Inspired Doll

Last night I finished sewing her "hand sewn" pantaloons using white linen and added four pintucks. I also finished her white linen petticoat with a single button closure all hand sewn. I'm trying to decide which lace, among all these hand crocheted laces, to trim the petticoat. Over the years I've gathered up a stash of vintage lace. Some of the lace is done by tatting...very tiny.

My sewing room is in disarray at the moment.

HAND SEWN LINEN CHEMISE FOR IZZY

Today I finished my first ever all Hand Sewn garment. The garment I chose to do first is an chemise. Every inch is completely hand sewn and let me tell you it took quite some time. I've been to the local library to research how they look, how they were sewn and with what type of fabric. From all the information I gathered, this is what I came up with for my new Izannah Walker style doll. I sewed in the arm gussets and the skirt gores for an authentic look. All the interior seams are flat felled and yes by hand! Whewww!

I was sooo inspired by all the books I checked out and now have the hand sewing bug. I still have quite a bit of work to accomplish. She needs her shoes painted on, pantaloons, petticoat, and then I am working on a new dress that will have cartridge pleating. WOW! After hand stitching this one small garment, I surely applaud all those wonderful ladies from years gone by who diligently sewed all their clothing.

Here's a Sneak Peak of my newest Izannah Walker inspired doll. I need to hem the sleeves and dress. I may also make her a bonnet. Hope to be done tonight.
