WW2 DOLL STOCKINGS

Here I have carefully removed the stitches to give a more realistic look. Down side is they cant be removed or the reinforcing will 'fall out'.

DOLLSTOCKINGS
It starts with a flat piece of sheer nylon fabric, the finer the fabric the more realistic the result will be. I use 400 needle flat knit fabric, 15 denier. The template is a simplified tracing of the doll's leg and its length is from the doll's toes to the leg joint. There is some shrinkage of the stocking in the process and you may find the stocking come up short a little...its practice.
DOLL STOCKINGS
For a simple stocking just sew down and around the toe to the edge. I usually increase the threads per inch at this point if the doll is going to have its boots or shoes removed often for strength. Back stitch a couple of stitches.

​
DOLL STOCKINGS
For more sophistication like a reinforced toe and heel, stop the sewing about 8mm from the end of the template. With the needle firmly down, raise the foot and slide under a rectangle of sheer fabric. Fold the remaining over the template but under the foot. Drop the foot down and continue sewing down and around the edge of the template.
DOLL STOCKINGS
Make sure the needle is down firmly before you raise the foot and twist the template for security of the work. Continue and sew around the template toe to the edge. I use 400 needle flat knit nylon. This is the sheerest fabric available and works well at 1/6 scale. It is however, expensive.
DOLL STOCKINGS
Sew to the edge and reverse stitch. Cut the extra nylon off the template but leave extra around the heel for the reinforcing. Keep clear of the seam otherwise it will separate.

The reinforced toes can be added afterwards but its a little tricky.
