MAKING AN EVEN SKIRT HEM
Not Hard Thing to Do il instructions
Given Here Are Carefully
Followed.

Here is a helpful tip for girls who
do their own dressmaking. 1t is an
easy matter to turn up the hem of a
dress on ones self if the following
directions are followed:
Put on the skirt; rest one end of a
yardstick on the floor, and holding it
straight up and down, mark where the
other end comes on the skirt with a
piece of chalk, going all around the
skirt in this way. This will make a
mark all around the hips one yard
from the floor.
Remove the skirt and, using the
yardstick as n measure, turn up the
skirt one yard from the mark. This
will be absolutely even. If you wish to
make the skirt shorter-say two or
four inches from the fioor-turn it up
two or four inches less than yard
from the mark. This plan has proved
invaluable in actual experience.
