30 —Lancaster Farming. Saturday. Ai w ._ •;• vs*. \ •i. • § By Doris Thomas, .£: Extension Home Econorriist Cost Of Sewing Own Clothes Is On The Increase Hie price of sewing supplies seems to be going up, and some of the prices seem unreasonably high. If the homemaker sews to save money she has to look for ways to economize. Why pay a dollar or more for a zipper when you can buy a similar one for twenty-five cents? She doesn’t care if it’s in a fancy package, and she surely doesn’t need directions every time she buys a zipper. Pattern prices keep going up all the time, too. Many women are using their favorite styles over and over again. It saves time, too, for once the pattern fits you can whip it up in a hurry without taking time to fit the dress. There are lots of bargains in fabrics, but check them >ril 26, 1973 Ladies, Have You Heard? carefully. You can usually cut around minor flaws with good planning, Check fabric widths, too. Some stores cut the wide knits in half, so when knits are advertised at low prices, you think it’s a bargain until you realize you are getting only half as much for your money. .The t narrower widths may not cut to' as good advantage either.

Box 5251, Chi cago, 111. 60680 Dons Thomas Most knit fabrics don’t need seam tape or lace as a hem finish. In fact, you’ll get a better job without them. So, that’s one notion you can skip buying when you sew with knits. But you’ll find that buttons can cost more than the rest of the garment put together, That’s why many women don’t use them any more. Thread, too, costs more, but you can’t do without it. To make home sewing more economical, you have to be a careful shopper. Check so-called bargains carefully and watch for special sales on fabrics and notions at reliable fabric shops.
