Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH j j WOMAN'S WORLD Prellv Table Doilies Easily Made from Odd Scraps of Goods Bil (Crtla JJaleif (7 rNE woman whom I know ha: a charming home with lots ol room for entertaining. It seems that no matter how often she has visi-tors, there are always bridge cloths or freshly laundered doilies for the table. When I asked her hnw she managed, she showed me a drawer full of placemats and table cloths of assorted sizes. "My secret is that I never throw away a piece of material if there'! any possible use for it," she con-fided. A partially worn sheet or damaged tablecloth is cut into doi-lies and matching napkins, embroid-ered or crocheted on the edge, laun-dered, starched and well pressed. Then they're ready for the table. You know it's surprising how many sheets, pillow cases, table-cloths and odd pieces of material can be made into attractive lunch-eon or breakfast doilies. Or, they can be cut to fit smaller sized tables and used as such. It takes but a little cutting and sewing to con-vert these pieces of material into something really attractive and use-ful. Only suitable fabrics should be used for table linens. This means that the fabric must not be too soft, as we like a semi-starche- d ap-pearance in table linen. It adds neatness and crispness to the set-ting. Select, if at all possible, a ma-terial that has a rough weave or linen-lik- e finish. Something that is too closely woven Is not desirable, as table linens most certainly will fast and luncheon cloths. Contrasting colored hems are very popular and are conservative enough even to please the most hostess. This may be done with a fabric of a different color added to the mat itself; or, it may be in the form of a bias tape used for finishing the edges. Use Your Ingenuity In Decorations Feather-stitchin- g is very popular on the very simple doilies, and gay- - colored ric rac is always welcome. A simple crochet stitch often adds newness to doilies, and this may be worked out in white or in other col- - ors that combine well with your dishes and accessories. For formal doilies such as you might want to use when entertaining stay with the simple designs like bands, panels or classic designs. A band might be run through the mid-dle, but choose its width carefully so that it does not look like patch-work. Always miter the corners carefully so that the placemat will lie fiat on the table. If your machine has an edge stitcher, it will be easy to insert lace bands to run around the doily. This gives particularly fine effects on the sheer materials like dimity -- and organdy. For decorative stitching on the machine, use the durable buttonhole twist or yarn. This washes and irons beautifully and is just the right weight to give an excellent line when stitching. Mark and measure where you want to stitch before starting out on the machine. If you make good flat-fe- ll seams on your doilies, they can often be used on both sides. They will also aunder and wear much better than II you are haphazard in doing the seams. Old tablecloths make nice doilies. spot, and a close, tight weave makes it difficult to remove stains. For informal table linens, these cottons are good to use: gingham, chambray, percale, unbleached or bleached muslin, organdy and dim-ity. Some of the rayons are fine ( too, but steer away from those that you know will not hold their shape. Directions for Sewing, Cutting The secret of having table mats or cloths look neat and attractive is to cut them perfectly straight. Pull a thread from the fabric to make sure the edges are straight, then fold and hem carefully The same applies for napkins. The edges and corners should lie flat and smooth. It doesn't take much time to baste and press to make sure you are getting every-thing straight and even, and the time is well worth the extra effort Th napery hem is used on our very finest linens. For sheer place-mat-you may use a small and very even seam that ges the ap-pearance almost, of a rolled hem A whipping stitch or running hem can be used on the sheer fabrics. On informal cotton sets, you might like to use a hem of contrast-ing colored thread, made In even stitches. Remember that hems show up easily once the linen is set on a table and it's important to have good, careful sewing to make It look its very best. One of the best guides as to what Should be used in decoration is to look at the new linens being shown Conceal patch uA applique. to find what motifs are currently popular You might like to use P iques in the corners of bright flow-e- r ap desIgns or prints These add sparkle to br ak Audio Coceall TlinmghManyJ Authors wisHtaTT Identity have em0llc lent methods of H says Collins ''Anonyrnous-Cdes'- l example, real 0?S Some of named and listed i "e beinR pseudan n H masculine name as a pseudonym. 7 1 An afternoon dress In Blanchl-ni'- s melon print designed by Jo-seph Halpert has a black crepe blouse with a low boat neckline, long, slimming sleeves.
