Certain patterns in Cretonne are
suited to dresser scarfs, pin.cushion
ctvers, slipper bags, candle shades
and other little furnishings that are
required for mems rooms In the pic.
ture dresser set is shown including
a scarf, pincushion and candle shade.
The cretonne shows red rose and
green foliage against a black and
white striped ground, So decided a
pattern Is to be most sparingly
used, and the scarf is therefore only
bordered with the cretonne. A
square pincushion is covered first on
one side with a small square of the
cretonne sewed smoothly over it. For
the other side a considerably larger
square is hemmed about the edges and
pinned over the cushion.
The candle shade is made over a
wire frame ana consists of a. circu.
lar piece stretched over the top and
sewed to place. A hemmed strip hangs
from the edge of the frame to which
1t Is sewed.
