the expected ones arrived, and they
were substituted for their bigger

You would go together to make
the arrangements as to time, the
opening of the church and so
forth. For such a wedding you
would both probably wear the
travelling clothes in which you
would start on your wedding trip.
It's the perfect idea to send
marriage announcements to the
list of your and your fiancee'S
relatives and friends. Have them
all ready to mail, engraved, adj
dressed. stamped. directly after
the ceremony mas been performed.
These marriage announcements
should also be sent to your and
your fiancee's relatives in Europe.
If you are, at the time the an
nouEcements are ordered, definite
about the new home address. at

the announcement.
It is not necessary to send at
home cards but it is thoroughly
proper to do so. if you wish, and
in your case, when so many rela.
tives abroad will want to know
your future address, this would be
an exceptionally convenient thing
to do.
The best form is to have the
at home information on a separate
card, to include with the marriage
announcements. And when the
at home cards are sent with the
announcement. the Mr.. and Mrs.
name is used. Like this:

tissue has been pinned to the lay.
out according to the layout chart
which comes with the pattern.
Remember that patterns usually
allow 3s inch seams. If your
material trays easily, or if you
want a special type of seam finish,
provide for this in cutting by cut
ting a bit outside the pattern. But
remember to haste or sew on the
original seam line or your pattern
isn't going to fit.
CUTTING RULES
When you cut. keep the mate
rial flat on the table, using a
long Swath of the shears and slide
the shears along evenly. (Better
protect your table with sheets of
paper, because the shears may
scratch a bit). Be sure to cut all
notcheS. If you want to be sure
to cut along a straight edge for
ruffles, belts, etc., it is best to cut
along a drawn thread. If you
want to cut a true bias strip for
binding and finishing, fold one
corner of the material back On
itself, so that the lengthwise
threads exactly parallel the cross
threads. Then mark the width
of the strips you wish to cut with
a chalk against yardStick. This
is the second of a series of IL arti-
cleS on home sewing.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-07-27

You can estimate the amount
of material you will need for a
long-sleeved dress with average

inch wide material; if the material
is SO or 4O-inch, buy two dress
lengths from shoulder to floor plus
"a yard; if it is 54-inch wide ma
terial, buy two lengths from shout
der to floor. For large figures, an
extra skirt length of material will
be needed. If the dress is to have
a tunic, pleated or very full
skirt, or anything else requiring
extra material, of course you will
have to add this amount to the
estimate.
WATCH SIGNPOSTS
After you have your material,
and have selected your pattern,
unless you are an expert seam
stress you are apt to be appalled,
by the seemingly complicated bust
ness of a paper pattern. But each
piece has a function, and each
mark on each piece is a Signpost
to guide you-if you are able to
understand it. For instance: The
perforationS on pattern indicate
the grain of the fabric, and should
be placed exactly o. the up and
down thread of the material. II
they are off the grain, the garment
will have twisted look. The back
of a shoulder seam is a little wider
than the front, so that the back
may be eased in bit to make it
fit comfortably at the shoulders,
and even the .plainest sleeve has a
fullness that must be eased in.
That's what the notches on pat
terms are for. Match the armhole
notches with the sleeve notches,
and ease in the fullness which is
left.
