Turn Remnants Into Blouses, Scarves Sheer, misty pieces of silk, chiffon and other fine fabrics can be found at any remnant counter, and they offer wonderful possibilities for that much needed blouse oi scarf to wear with a suit or classic dress. You may even find such a remnant in your own sewing cabinet if youre in the bait of cutting out pieces of material from old formals, dresses or blouses. Give the old suit a new look by hemming a length of material just long enough to tie around the neck, with a soft, crushable velvet flower right at the knot. With more scarl material you can do a clever draping job and have it look like a blouse or dickey. Longer pieces of fine fabric can be used for a sash around the waist to dress up a costume. The stiff materials like taffeta, faille or novelty weaves are excellent for just such a purpose. Give Spice to Wardrobe With Tlaids, Pleats rt Many wardrobes contain pleated plaid skirts which may be in spots. If just a bit moth-eate- n that over check the material youll can be used, youll undoubtedly find enough for a smart, scoopnecked we skit.

If washable, do them at home, using directions that came with a tag on the material at purchase time. If professional cleaning is recommended, then turn over the dull-look-i- job to a professional. After cleaning, you may have to add new snaps, buttons or zippers many of which can come out of the remnant boxes you use to collect used, but good articles. If decorative buttons are necessary, select these tastefully and fasten properly.Many suits, dresses and coats need new shoulder pads after several cleanings. If the pads are softened by too much use, theyre not doing much for you. Just change them and give yourself a good, though conservative shoulder line, When youre able to avoid shine on clothes, youve done a lot toward life extension.

Always iron on the wrong side, except collars, pockets and cuffs which should be pressed with a cloth over the fabric. Shine shows more on dark colors, and the above rules should be applied to such garments with special attention to the details.
