WOMAN'S WORLD
Fabric, Style Values Awaiting
Those Who Do Sewing at Home
By Ertta Haley
G lorious farrics and now.
enchanting stylos await those
of you who aro handy with the
needle and l:ke to whip together
your wardrobe on the sewing ma
chine.
You'll l:ko the feel of the now
fabrics when you sew them, then
a coin when you wear them. Pat
terns employ all the latest style
tricks, and there's no reason why
you can t come out with clothes
that look as thetigh they had been
purchased from the smartest shops.
If you don't consider yourself
professional enough for a strict
tailoring job. and still want a suit,
why not choose one of the new soft
bolero style suits? These are for
girls as well as for their mothers,
and look equally attractive.
Another now wrinkle in ( the
fashion picture which has been used
»xtensively with the bolero type
suit, is the print blouse that goes
with the skirt. In some cases these
ere attached to the skirt, so that
when you remove the bolero you
have a dress.
If you prefer, make a basic dress
in one of the new soft woolen
materials, then top this with a
bolero. Wear the dress with scat
ter rms 'or a necklace, and you’ll
be w»ll dressed for club activities,
shopping, business or calling.

As perennial as the robin is
the redingota outfit! In this
season of the button-down-the-
front coat, yon can choose a
double duty coat that fives you
the effect of a redingnte dress,
plus an ever so wide versatility
ti your wardrobe. You’ll find
some of these coats sold with
their own matching print
dresses, combinations such as
the dress of darkish green print
with a lighter green coat in the
sketch. Or. you may assemble
your own basic outfit, with an
eye to the other teammates,
present or future.

This all-over quilted coat,
made of eronomiral Indian
Head cotton, is easily created
at home with the aid of a quilt
ing attachment on the sewing
machine. Steel-gray with a
bright red lining is a good com
bination to use. The coat serves
now for school and casual wear
and later over light dresses on
hreerv summer davs. Note the
natural shoulder line ami full
back which are fashion-wise
features.
few nf us coincide with pattern
measurements and this means
slight adjusting.
Those of you who have had ex
perience altering clothes know it’s
much easier to take in a dress
that’s too large fhan to enlist
material for use in a dress that's
too small. The same is true of pat
terns.
It's better to buy the next size
larger in a pattern if you have
one or two measurements in excess
of those given bn it. Tucks are easy
to take on those portions in which
you have smaller measurements.
Patterns do not run the same
sizes ns ready-made dresses, so it's
best to check measurements be
fore buying.
How to Achieve
Good Fit
Bon t rush the dress to comple
tion without fitting it carefully to
the figure. It’s a good idea to baste
the dress and press it, then try on
and check fit carefully before do
ing the permanent stitching.
Should the dress be too large to
look attractive or too loose for
comfort, make the tucks at the
waist, under the arms or on the
shoulders large enough to take up
the excess. •
When the dress is too snug, let
out some of the tucks and see if
you can't give yourself additional
room by making the side seams
slightly smaller.
All of these fitting tricks are
much easier to do before per
manent stitching. Try the dress on
again before stitching to make
absolutely certain that the fitting
maneuvers have worked their
magic.
Quilted Coats Are
Simple to Make
Quilted, casual coats may be
added to the wardrobe without up
setting carefully planned clothes
budgets if you sew at home. Teen
agers will probably want one of
these to wear at school now and
then later, on breezy summer eve
nings.
Since piece goods counters are
featuring an abundance of cottons,
the material for the coat may be
purchased for a small amount of
money. Then with the aid of a
time-saving, quilting attachment
on the sewing machine, the finish
is simple to make.
An attractive coat may be made
«f quilting Indian Head steel-gray
with bright red similar material
used for the lining. You can find
out about using the quilting fittach-
ment at a local sewing center if
you don’t know how to use it. ‘
Redingote Ensembles
Are Popular
Redingote ensembles are the
favorite fashion among more ma
ture women or among those who
must look well groomed, well
dressed, crisp and business-like.
With the new prints now available
as well as with the luscious, solid-
colored, lightweight woolens, these
fashions will be among the most
popular ones made at home.
Smart women select not only one
print for the woolen coat that but
