I followed your directions in Book 1 for making all of my slipcovers. slip-covers. Recently I started a wall hanging of crewel work embroidery embroid-ery that required many stitches that were new to me. I found them all clearly diagramed in Book 2, and .was certainly glad I had it to turn to. "I am now interested in covering seat cushions for our dinette. The children have both breakfast and their mid-day meal here. Can you suggest a material that will stand hard wear and that comes in bright colors? G. B." Striped awning material would give good service and both you and the youngsters would enjoy the gay coloring in this much used corner. Green and orange stripes would be attractive, and this color scheme could be repeated in green curtains and orange paint for the inside of a cupboard. I have suggested slide fasteners for the cushions so that they may be removed easily for laundering.
