Color Advantages Await Home Seamstresses By Ertta Haley GLORIOUS FABRICS and new, styles await those of you Who are handy with the needle and like to whip together your wardrobe on the sewing machine. You'll like the feel of the new fabrics when you sew them, then again when you wear them.

Wear the dress with scat- ter pins or a necklace, and you'll be well dressed for club activities, shopping, business or calling. 4 j l t I i - ! tion without fitting it carefully to the figure. It's a good idea to baste the dress and press it, then try on and check fit carefully before doing the permanent stitching. Should the dress be too large to look attractive or too loose for comfort, make the tucks at the waist, under the arms or on the shoulders large enough to take up the excess. When the dress is too snug, let out some of the tucks and see if you can't give yourself additional room by making the side seams slightly smaller.

The same Is true of pat- s, terns. It's better to buy the next size larger in a pattern if you have one or two measurements in excess of those given on it.
