Desplaines St., Chicago, 111. OUTSIDE jllg. EDGE FINISH " Wj "TEAR MRS. SPEARS: With the help of Book 1, I have just made a slip cover for a wing chair. I never would have tried it if your directions had not been so clear. I am now planning another an-other slip cover and draperies which I would like to trim in fringe. Will you please show me with a sketch how I should sew the fringe? Also should the draperies and chair match? M. J. N." This reader evidently agrees with the Chinese proverb, "One picture is worth a thousand words." So here are the sketches showing how to apply fringe in the seams of slip covers and also for an edge finish. The raw edge of the material in the lower sketch is turned to the right side and fringe is stitched over it. If figured draperies are used, the best effect is obtained if not more than one slip cover in the room is of figured material. Plain slip covers may match one or more of the colors in draperies, rug or wall paper. NOTE : Now is the time to give your house a fresh start. Crisp new curtains; a bright slip cover; a new lampshade ; or ottoman will do the trick. Make these things yourself. Mrs. Spears' Book 1 SEWING, for. the Home Decorator, Decora-tor, shows you how with step by step, easy to follow sketches. Book |
