The opinions are based upon the

Joining the skirt parts, and join the
front sides before adding the back
portions. Basic with straight side

In sewing up the seams. place
skirt on the machine with straight
side of seams up. DO not have the
machine stitch too tight, and sew
nne-half Of the seam from The top

bottom. When sewing soft silk or
: other sheer thin fabrics, it is we'll to
stitch it on paper. or TO sew up the
seams by hand with small running

until the placket is finished
Draw out the bastlng threads after
clipping them here and there, then
press the seams carefully and with
ont stretching them. For cloth. a

required. For silk. the irons should
not be very hot, and all material
should be pressed under a cloth
