WHO MAY POSITIVELY NOT BE DISTURBED ——————> Double Bedspread of Luxurious Taffeta By RUTH WYETH SPEARS, '‘DEAR MRS. SPEARS: Your ^ book, SEWING, for the Home Decorator, has helped me Vith so many problems that I am hoping you will give me some spe cial advice now. For a long time I have been wanting a taffeta spread for a double bed. I figure that, if I can make one from 10 yards of 39-inch taffeta, it will cost about half as much as one of the same quality ready made. Will you be good enough to tell me how, to cut the material so there will be no waste? This is impor tant as I must economize. M. G.” Here are cutting dimensions for a double bedspread of 39 or 40- inch material. You will need a little less than your 10 yards— 9% yards will be enough, and this makes the spread long enough to cover the pillows nicely. Cut the center panel first, then divide the material that is left as shown in the upper diagram. Join the two pieces of ruffle material to make one long piece, then divide it evenly; for the two ruffles. These cutting dimensions allow generous seams.' Enough material may be taken from the seam edges to cover cords for welted seams if desired. A very narrow machine stitched hem should be used at the bottom of the ruffles. Full directions for making welt ed seams are contained in Book 1, offered herewith. There are also directioifs in this book for making bedspreads of 36-inch cotton ma terial. Today’s lesson is not in either of the books offered here, so be sure to clip and save it for reference. NOTE: Mrs. Spears’ Book 2— Gifts, Novelties and Embroidery, has helped thousands of women to use odds and ends of materials and their spare time to make things to sell and to use. Book 1— SEWING, for the Home Decora tor, is full of inspiration for every homemaker. These books make delightful gifts. Mrs. Spears will autograph them on request. Crazy-patch quilt leaflet is includ ed free with every order for both books. Books are 25 cents each. Address Mrs. Spears, 210 S. Des- plaines St., Chicago, 111.
