age. every few months there Is
marked increase in every part of the
body. The bands on the tops of the
gathered pockets are also white and
equal in width TO the tops and leg
bands. They prevent articles in the
pockets from falling out.
AT first very deep hem is put in,
to be gradually let down as need
arises. Some mothers put q tuck in
the first hem or turn the goods under
its full width for later Iengthening.
Hens look best if sewed by hand. and
are more easily ripped out when neces-
sary. Allowance tueks, too. should be
hand sewn or stitched with a large,
loose, stitch. If they are stitched at
half-inch intervals, opening up the first
line of stitching viii let the garment
down an inch. If growth allowance
is being made in the upper part of a
bloomer dress a tuck should also be
taken in the bloomers on level with
the placket. where ii viii not show.
Boomers should be cut with short
sides TO prevent their slipping down
over the knee. but the leg bands
should be loose and the length through
the crotch should always be ample.
The inside leg seams will be stronger
if a straight piece of material is
stitched across from knee TO knee.
