Home > Patterns   Click to Enlarge Virginia's Drawn Thread Dress Pattern - from Wendy's Emb Club Our Price:  $18.00 Quantity:      Item Number: This delightful antique reproduction baby dress is embellished with drawn thread work along the hemline of the skirt and vertical rows of the same stitch groupings across the Empire style bodice. Working with gorgeous Ulster 1000 linen, the result of the stitch configuration is dainty and lacelike. Stitches include basic hemstitch to attach hems, Wave Stitch Filling, and Chevron Stitch. The three-quarter length sleeve is edged with unique triangular-shaped cuffs, edged with a tiny hemstitched border and the tiniest tatting available. The collar consists of a narrow ruff, hemmed with a tiny hemstitched border and embellished with an open hemstitched band. More tatting finishes its edges. Swiss entredeux is inserted between the bodice and skirt and around the armscye in order to attach the sleeves to the dress. Beautiful pearl ribbon circlets line the bodice below each row of hemstitching, and a beautiful blue silk ribbon is threaded through each loop and tie in back. This intriguing art has ancient roots, and through the expertise of Wendy, you will finally be able to master the technique of drawn thread work. Sizes 1, 2, and 3. Kit available. As seen in Sew Beautiful #134, Jan/Feb 2011.
