I RAISE SEAT WITH mt0WWr cushion &iQ REMOVE il' PROJECTIONS f 1 Irr m S? rockers New life for an old rocker TPHERE were rocking chairs hanging from the ceiling of a certain second-hand furniture store. "Nobody wants them any more," mourned the dealer. "I'd sell any one you see for 50 cents." The little bride with me promptly chose one. Perhaps she would paint it for the porch, but I should have known better. What she actually did is shown here in the sketch. The result was the small but comfortable, modern mod-ern looking chair at the upper left. The bride raided mother's attic for two things that went into the making of this chair. One was an old quilt that she used to pad the back. .The other was feathers from an old bolster which were used to stuff a seat cushion tightly so that it would raise the seat which had been lowered by removing re-moving the rockers. Cotton basted to muslin could have been used for the back padding and a cotton substitute for the cushion filling. The new sewing book by Mrs. Spears contains 32 other useful homemaking ideas, with all directions di-rections clearly illustrated. You will be delighted with it. The price is only 10 cents postpaid. Enclose coin, with name and address, ad-dress, to Mrs. Spears, 210 S. Des-plaines Des-plaines St., Chicago, 111., and book will come to you by return mail. |
