A COMPLETE COUSRE IN DRESSMAKING

silk, broadcloth or batiste


Cutting the Cap: Diagram 72 shows the pieces for a cap laid on the material. Mark around them and cut as described in Lesson II.

The material for the cap should be soft, as a baby's head is very tender. Batiste is suitable for summer, and corded silk or silk and wool flannel for winter, with a China silk lining.
