appears in silk thread on the pockets
and on the skirt about six inches
above the hem. But the designer re-
frains from breaking the length of the
panel at the front and terminates the
embroidered disks at each side of it.
The pockets serve a double purpose

embroidery for them is placed on a
separate piece of material, cut out the
shape of the pocket and sewed over IT..

a plated frill at the top which extends

For mending buttonholes in the neck
bands of shirts, stitch pieces of tape
fiat along each edge of the buttonhole,
bringing them together at its ends. The
tape on each side should be just wide

neckhand, where it should also be
stitched. This new buttonhole will out
