Show Page Six - The Springville Herald - February 22, 1979 it makes cents By Vi Judge Dear Vi: If I miss your column in the WASATCH WAVE, I feel that I've missed part of my education. When a bar of soap gets too thin, I dampen it and plaster it to a new bar, securing it with two or three elastic bands. It soon sticks securely to the new bar. I like this better than using the pieces in the washer, as they don't always dissolve. Keep up the good work. E. Grant Gustavson, Salt Lake City Dear Vi: Thanks so much for the hint about knitting two sleeves at a time on a circular needle. I tried this and found it so time-saving I've done two fronts together at a time and two slippers on the same needle. It's easy to keep matching pieces identical this way. I have a hint that saves work, given to me by my sister-in-law, Maurine Nelson, a former Home Demonstration Agent: When you bake bread, leave the loaves out overnight in plastic bags. The next morning, slice all of them and store them in the freezer, where they'll stay fresh until needed. A slice or two can be taken out and thawed in the toaster, leaving the rest of the loaf frozen. It's so handy to have homemade bread all sliced and ready in the freezer. And only one crumb mess to clean up! An electric knife, by the way, is great for slicing fresh bread. Leora Kich, Fairview, Wyoming. So glad the knitting idea helped you, Leora. About the bread, another advantage I see to slicing it all at once is that you'll have a worthwhile amount of crumbs to save for casserole topping or breading fish . or chicken. Dear Vi: Instead of spending money for an ironing board cover, I make my own out of the strong edges of discarded sheets. I like mine better because I can get them nice and taut, and that's important. Here's how I do it. First, dampen the cover material thoroughly and iron it dry, using long, heavy strokes with the grain, both ways. This pre-shrinks it. Now, lay the board, face down on the material and trace its outline. Trim, leaving a margin about four inches wide outside of the marking. At the tapered end, make a pocket by stitching a piece of material about a foot deep to the cover, stitching along the outline you've traced. Trim off excess and turn pocket right side out. Slip this pocket over the tapered end of the board and pull it tight. Fold under the four-inch margin along one side of the cover twice (for strength) and staple or tack it to the underside of the board. Repeat on other side, pulling material very taut, then staple the end, also pulling it taut lengthwise. When your board needs new padding, use the same method, Several layers of a soft, old blanket make a good pad, but use only one layer for the pocket. Or, you can use bonded quilt batting with a layer of fabric on top.. I have three ironing boards, the regular type, a sleeve board for hard-to-reach places, and a flat board, about 25" by 30", which I lay on the table for ironing shirts and flat pieces. With today's disciplined fabrics, we don't need to do as much ironing as our mothers did, but some items still need ironing, and pressing is a must for the seamstress. A good ironing board makes the job much easier. Iola Hicks, Cedar City, Utah Readers: This feature is your feature.
