The vogue for white sash blouses
being more favored H1is. year. than. for
niahy previous seasons. there is
splendidi opportunity for the home nee
d!ewoman to make charming hand
stitched blouses for half the cost OF
those in exclusive speciality shops.
Among the most popular Of dainty
lingerie blouses are those of organdie
trimmed with drawnwork. One simple
but good design, easy to make at home
is to make blouse opening down the
centre front with V neck and then
trim it with a square collar and cuffs
decorated with drawnwork. An elaoo-
rate hem, as we'll as lacy motifs for the
corners of the collar and cuffs, shows
up exouisitely over the dark fabric Oh
a sports coat.
The drawnwork trimming naturally
depends a good deal on the general de-
sign of the blouse. However, "blocX
patterns"-or drawnwork to form
SQUARES to makea large plaid-are very
chic. These squares often form pan
cl from the neck to the belt. Squares
on the collars too, to form plaids are
exceedingly popular. The plaid thus
formed measures anywhere from one
TO four inches. Usually organdie waists
tbus ornamented have no other trim
ming but occasionally a dainty edge
of Valencienrfes lace Is added to COL
lars and cuffs. -
New georgette blouses are much
trimmed with narrow frills and inser-
tions Of Valenciennes. This is oeauti1ui
handwork that enables the home nee
dlewoman to make an original blouse
at a fraction Of the cost OF a ready
made blouse Of the same quailE.
Round necks with shallow collars are
fist hernstitched and then edged win
a single row Of Valenciennes. Again

A combination of crocheted lace filct-
mr. Irish crochet-with Valencicnnes' Is
nsed also to decorate the front Of these
waists The crocheted lace is usually
cmnloyed in medallions for rich effect
while the Valenciennes insertion Is
used to give lacy she+rness.

Very feminine is the effect OF slash

The hand tucked blouse Of sheer
material is another charming poss'-
bility for stitchers'at home to rival inc
oxnensiye shop blouse. This work IS
effective on organdie, batiste, marquis
cite or georgette, but is most suitable
for the tailored pattern. A fichu-llke

pecial favorites. Linen collar and cuH
