How to Handle
Velvet In Home
Dressmakine.

| VELVET suits are the rage this sea-
son, black as first choice and next
possibly brown or a rich dark shade Of
plum verging upon the violet tones.
Many women are making these suits at
home, so the professional advice Of a
dressmaker concerning the right ham
ding Of the material may not come
amiss. The advice applies to velveteen
as well as to velvet:
THE point in the manipulation Of
velvet or velveteen is to ascertain the
right lie of the pile. The safest way
is to hold the material up against one
and look down on it, when 1t should
shade dark. There is a marked con-
trast in the shade as the piece Is turn
ed up or down, so there may be no
question as to which side gives UP the
dark shade. When discovered this
should be marked with chalk or cotton
and vigorously used as the top when
the different parts of the pattern are
placed on the fabric. With velvet cut
ting double Is out of the question.
Each pieceNmHst be cut separately, one
for the right and one for the left side.
This weighty point being settled,
any method by which marking the ma
terial may be avoided must be decided.
These are three In number. In the
first place, use steel pins or needles in
place of the usual wire variety: Sec
ondly, use silk instead Of cotton for
basting. and. thirdly, when any work
becomes necessary, as in making but
tonholes, facings and so on, sew a
piece of velvet pile outward over the
first finger of the left hand like a cap
reaching to the first joint. In this way
the necessary pressure against the fin
ger in working will do no harm, as pile
will press on pile.
"The point which now remains to be
considered liz the all important treat
ment OF the seams. Velvet should be
Stitched with the pile, not against 1t.
This practically results in the necessity
of beginning all seams at the bottom
and stitching upward, exactly the OPP
posite from the usual method in such
things. Then comes the pressing, the
crux of the situation to most people,
but 1t is quite easily accomplished
when n knows the way. All one has
to do is to get a hot iron, hotter than
would ordinarily be used, and prop it
bottom upward on the table-heavy

One Of the garments which the one

separate coat. Nowadays a woraa has
so many little house and street dresses

coming just above them. Then open
the seams with the fingers, lay ON the
iron and draw it across several times,
pressing it downward all the time. In
this way the seam gets beautifully
pressed. with no danger of marking
the pile. Should a chance mark get
on it 1t can be removed by a steaming
of hot water and then drying before
the fire. Any ms following these SIM
Pile rules can make up velvet or vel
