In welcoming remarks, Mr..

guarantees the rights of free

Mr.. Calingo warned, how
ever, "that we too often take
these rights for granted, like
the air we breathe, and ap-
preciate them only when we
have been deprived of them.
We should be grateful for the

How to Measure
For q PIeoted Skirt
BY PATRICIA SCOTT

So many Of you have writ
ten to me recently with ques-
itons on altering patterns I
thought I should mention my
new booklet, "How to Alter
Dress Patterns" 1t has COM
plete instructions and illus
trations for "a figure prob
lens. I'm sure you will find
it helpful, and that it will
answer most Of the questions
on alterations that I'm get
ting in the mail.
- A&
QuestiOn-Can you tell me
how to measure for a pleated
skirt without a pattern? I
mean the knife type where
the edges Of the pleats meet
and are stitched from the
waist to a few inches down
below.-MiSs D. c.
AnSwer-Your fabric must
equal three times your hip
measurement at the widest
part. For instance, If your
hip measures 81 inches, your
fabric must measure 1O2
inches. Join the seams, leav-
ing one open for placket. Hem
skirt before pleating. Lay in
your pleats, tapping from left
to right, and baSte. Try on
the skirt. If it is too large
at the waistline, lap the pleatS
over each other q little until
it fits. If it is still a little
too large, try a row Of baSting
stitches at waistline and pull
thread. gathering it very, very
slightly. Basic, press and
stitch from the bottom up
towards the waist. If you
stitch down, you will stretch
Evening star., 1961-07-05

the fabric and the pleats will
not lie flat. (See illustration.)
QuestiOn-Can you tell me
how to shrink the knee Of
mems wool trousers between
cleanings? My husband looks
so sloppy with baggy knees
and I can't seem to get the
excess fullneSs out.
Mrs. T. B.
Answer - You can do a
pretty good job Of it with the
proper equipment. You'll need
a wool press cloth, a regular
cotton or linen press cloth
and a steam iron. Set your
steam iron for wool" Lay
the trouSer leg on the IRON
ing board with the front
crease facing upward. Place
the wool press cloth on top
Of the trouser and then the
other press cloth on top of
that. Steam until fullness
disappears.
QuestiOn-Can you tell me
when to use interfacing? I'm
q beginner at sewing and
need some sort Of guide.
B. @. r.
Answer - Use interfacing
wherever you want body or
criSpneSS as in cuffs and col
lars. Use it also when perma-
nent shaping and moulding is
necessary as in a coat collar.
It's also important to use in
terfacing wherever you have
extra strain, as under buttons
and buttonholeS in a dress,
blouse or coat.
50 -
QuestiOn-What is meant
by stay stitching?
Mrs. G.. T.
Answer-This is q line Of
regular length machine
stitching done on curved or
bias edges that are to be
Joined to another piece. This
Is done on a single thickness
Of fabric about 1s-inch from
the seam line within the
seam allowance. If a neckline
has a very deep curve, then
you stay-stitch on the seam
line. This is quite important
to do because it will hold the
grain Of the fabric from
SCreCcnlng while you are put
ting the garment together.
