Its a lot easier to By Jo Wemo Knight-Ridd- Newspapers Perfectly ironed linen napkins and tablecloths were taken for granted in the days when even a middle class family could afford a maid or laundress. But time, the economy, and the trend of women juggling home and career changed all that. Spending hours at the ironing board certainly isnt anyones priority today. Despite the changes in lifestyle, the American woman still wanted to set a pretty table. She welcomed plastic placemats and tablecloths made of synthetic fabrics. Thats why women the went to polyester desire to have perfection. ... And ter Heres fun and a walk away view just right for you in embroidery assortment.

Any jeans afficianado knows back pockets are important that is where the identity" of the jean has always been with such things as distinctive stitching, leather patches and labels. The Europeans took this concept of identification and turned it into a playground for fashion ideas. Now American fashion jean makers are hot on their heels with ideas that are even bigger and better than the original European concepts.

Many companies will be offering a selection of embroideries. One company will have embroidered jeans in lightweight fashion denim, traditional heavy-weigwestern" denim, brushed cotton, and corduroy. For those of us who have caught Saturday Night Fever, they will even have embroidered velvet jeans. Indigo Denim All the denim jeans are made of their 100 percent denim, the original indigo pure cotton denim that promised to resist shrinking out of size, wrinkling, puckering and twisting in the leg. The brushed cotton jeans are now also in the category of high performance fabrics. To top off the new fashion concept, you will need a short jacket or two. You would not want to wear a long jacket and hide those beautiful back pockets, would you? Multi-colore- wrinkle-fre- e looked polyes- perfect, said Katja, a Swedish fashion designer who is making her mark in home furnishings these days. Now theres another trend, thanks to technology, Cotton and linen fabrics have become permanent press, wrinkle-free- , machine washable, etc., so the busy person can set a table with genuine natural fabrics and still not have to iron. A lot of people dont know quality fabrics because theyve used synthetics for so long, said Katja, who uses only one name in business and when signing her designs. But now people can have the very best in fabrics and not worry about caring for them. Native of Sweden Katja left Sweden to become a Boston resident just a year ago when the Wellman Co. of Boston, a worldwide textile firm, set up an entire division around her designs. In 12 months shes created a collection of 33 designs with five groups work the United in States, Katja observed during a recent visit to the Miami area where she introduced her collection of tablecloths, placemats, napkins and other accessories for the home. In Sweden I had to be in the factory so much, making sure that everything was being done as I wanted it. Here, there are such fine experts in every phase of the textile business that I can delegate responsibility. It gives me more hours to spend on my designing, she said. Her fabrics are thoroughly contemporary in design, yet theres something comfortably nostalgic about them. Her prints are variations on geometries and stylized flowers. There are checks and plaids that are reminiscent of table cloths typical of a Midwestern farm kitchen, plus sophisticated stripes and florals that would suit a big city pretend the combo was your own idea.) Each placemat has two kinds of napkins that complement it, so one can have a whole wardrobe of table linens without getting a loan at the bank. (Placemats retail for $3.50 each; napkins are $2.25 each; a round cloth for $27.50; a square cloth for 70-in- $15.) Type of Weaving Because the design determines what kind of weaving is required, Katja sometimes takes some of her Resigns to be woven. Part of her new collection was woven in Romania where they are classi- cal weavers. Such weaving d, fine of linen ' be done in most western nations because the machines no longer exist, she explained. In Sweden, we either threw out the weaving machines or gave them to African countries," she said. So if I want the old style of weaving I have to go to countries where they still have the machines. cant The daughter of one of Swedens most famous ceramic artists, Anders Katja Hallberg, is responsible for her choice of colors for her table linens. We live in very colorful interiors in Sweden because its so ' colorless outdoors much she said, j of the year, "The land is all white, gray, brown with a little green, so indoors colors must be energetic. But she dislikes fire reds and electric blues, choosing instead more subtle shades for her fabrics: berry red, apple green, sunset orange, sunny yellows, among others. Katja can identify with the working mother because she was one herself. She reared three sons during her career and now is grandmother to six children. She said ab- sorbed design as a child playing in her fathers studio. But she soon turned from clay to textiles and eventually to fashion for which she always designed everything involved in the process, including the fibers.
