Professional dressmaker touches such as shoulder gathering, gathered sleeve edging which make the dress versatile, are easily done on the gathering foot attachment of the sewing machine. not take hard wear. You can obtain good effects through full skirts, full gathering, wide belts that tie into beautiful bows, and sturdy laces and eyelet. Color Is important as its refreshing to both the young and those who will look at it. Even though dark solid colors are chosen, they can be livened with white or bright colors, plaid trims and borders. Gay Trimming Adds Clever Touches There are so many ways to brighten wool dresses and blouses for young fry, even though the fabrics used in them may be fairly dark for practicality. Take, for example, the classic flared or pleated skirt which is so often made in navy blue wool or jersey. If it has pleats, then this is all it needs. If plain, you can do several things. With a transfer pattern apply some flowers to the skirt and stitch these in woolen yarns of red, bright green and possibly yellow. Theyll add lots of cheer to the skirt Take a tip from the teen-age- d girls and add bright red, peasant trimmed suspenders to the navy skirt. You can make these from tape or red flannel or felt. blouses are very pretty, but they will be even prettier for the small miss if you add some bias tape or peasbright rick-racant band trimming to sleeves and collar. This can be applied even if or can be the blouse is ready-madused on an old blouse which needs a fresh new. touch. Dark broadcloth dresses are very prettily trimmed if you run a small plaid ruffle starting at the waist, going over the shoulder and to the waist at the back. Have one on each side. Attach the ruffle to a narrow piece of tape made from the same plaid for ease in sewing. Another good style in school dresses is this: Make a cotton print or plaid dress with a blouse-lik- e circular skirt. top and petticoat-lik- e This Is worn in early fall while weather is still warm, and also in spring. For fall and winter, make an overskirt of corduroy to be worn over the dress. . i ' as t 8 'f - jj as the youngsters are look In seious of how they ious tVi . - frt even 'bough because they will All-whi- te k, heavy material. To achieve trimming details such as zigzag stitches in a variety of lengths and widths, corded effects, appiiqued designs and lace edges and inserts monograms, or an ornamental edge similar to plcoting, Its smart to use a zigzag attachment. This attachment will jump over pins and heavy thicknesses of fabric easily. A gathering foot makes short work of the many gathered effects required on small girls clothing. This little device will gather the skirt fullness for stitching onto bodice, give smocked effects by gathering in fullness at the shoulder and across the chest. Some of the manufacturers of childrens dresses are using zippers in place of buttons. This is a good trick for mother to use, as it helps the youngster to dress herself more easily. Use them on both skirt and dress openings, sewing them on as you would on adult clothing. How to Handle Corduroy When Cutting, Sewing Its very important to fit and alter dress patterns before you cut them from corduroy. When you cut, lay the corduroy on a smooth, flat surface with the pile side up except where its necessary to cut on a fold or double. In this event, the fabric may be folded lengthwise with the pile inside. All pattern pieces should be placed on fabric in same direction so the pile runs upward. Make pattern markings with tailors tacks. When assembling the garment, machine stitch with the nap, from LADY LEATHERNECKS ANSWER . . . Members of the greater Boston women's reserve platoon of the U.

Finish the seams with pinking shears. When pressing the garment after stitching, place fabric with pile down on ironing board. Place a slightly damp cloth on the wrong side and use iron temperature warm enough to create steam without pressure. Float the iron over the seams and press only a small section at a time. e, ABBY LEWIS the same air show.
