Important! The place where the sock is located is the top of our future dress.

• Now using chalk or soap, mark the side lines for the sleeves.

Important! When measuring the lines of the sleeves, do not forget to retreat 1.5 cm from the bottom edge of the toe. You can attach a toy lady to the fabric and make a mark where the sleeve will end. For flatness of the line, we recommend using a ruler.

• Next - we cut the tissue according to the intended marks, ending with the chest part.
• We form the length of the dress, cutting the bottom edge of the sock.

Important! The length of the dress can be completely different: to the knees, to the heel of the toe or a very short length. Everything is up to you.

• We pin the lines of tags with pins, begin to sew our dress, moving from the bottom to the top.
• When we get to the bottom of the sleeve, we need to make cuffs. To do this, twist the sleeve several times, then flash it.
• When all the necessary seams are sewn, we turn the finished dress on the front side.
• The sleeves turned out to be a little narrow, so you need to insert a pencil or pen into the sleeve, and carefully straighten.

• Using a transparent edge, process the edges.
• Next - turn the bottom of the cap and flash it with ordinary threads.

• We sew the sides with a looped seam so that it gathers in an accordion, then the hat will hold well on the toy’s head.
