nomination hi-colored stamps.
It viii entail the use OF fat

gummed paper" cutting the
cost Of production to about
one-third Of the price formerly

What this means In practice
is that q new variety Of the 81,

ing produced on q flat-bed

The procedure" to which Mr..

can be identified because
Of yielding slightly smaller

The famed three-tier hemline,
the silver buttons. and other
typical Norwegian details are
lightly applied to typically
pretty and practical American
fashions.
Her skillful translation OF a
Norwegian tapestry design into
a Hollander embroidered cot
ton sateen fabric we think has
created a new dimension in
the textile field. The raised
surface plus coloring such as
pale to deep pinks on a lemon
yellow background is some
thing short of sensational to
look at in a sheath dress and
a matching swimsuit. Another
color combination of gold, deep

newsworthy in this tapestry

the fabric. Hold the pattern piece
exactly as pictured on the instiuc-
ton sheet, and follow the stcp-by-
step guide After you've solved
your problems, then you can work
with the fabric.
You can speed up your sewing
if You will tie pin cushion around
your wrist or pin one to your belt.
Then you4l always have your pins
handy when you need them. As for
your tape measure, hang it around
your neck or loop it around your
waist.
On simple seams you can save
time by pin distinguishing the
pins at right angles to the direc-
tion in which YOU are sewing. Then
you can machine stitch over the
pins without breaking the needle.
Machine basting is another time
saver. Set your machine at its
longest stitch for machine basting.
You'll find that it rips out easily.

Up Tips
For Sewing

How can you save the most time
while sewing? The first time-sav-
ing step is to study your pattern
instructions, giving special atten-
ton to complicated sections.
This advice comes from clothing
specialist Lavonia Hilbert, Uni
versity Of Maryland Extension
Service.
After cutting the pattern, pile
the pattern pieces in the order in
which you need them. But remem-
Der, don't remove the pattern
pieces from the fabric until you
are ready to work on a particular
section. This viii save you confu-
sion and loss of time in hunting
for such things as special mark
ings.
Miss Hilbert gives other tips to
add to your bag of time-saving
tricks when sewing.
Mark all pattern pieces at one
time Use a different colored tail
ors chalk for each kind of marking
For example, YOU might use white
for darts and yellow for plcat-.
