By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist Clothing Repair* Extend Wardrobe Use Keeping clothing in good repair helps cut clothing coats. These hints may help make your mending chores easier and extend your wardrobe. Salvage belts on ready-to wear dresses by covering the worn areas at each end of the belt by topstitching a bit of decorative braid or ribbon to the belt. If the buckle needs to be replaced, design a different way to fasten the belt a decorative button and buttonhole, Velcro, lacings or leave the ribbon long enough to tie instead of buckle. Use an old leather belt to mend a fabric belt. Cut off worn sections of the fabric belt and replace with end of the leather belt, topstitching in place. Or buy kits which will do the same thing. Design an applique shape to sew over worn buttonholes for a decorative effect as well as a useful function. Or consider embroidering a design around the buttonhold area or using pieces of decorative braid.

When the hem needs to be let down, release the stitches in the tuck and you won’t need to resew the hem. If you’re using elastic in a casing at the waistline of a skirt or pants, keep it in place by stitching in the “ditch” at each seam, distributing fullness evenly between each seam before stitching. When cutting out garments allow wider seams on length wise side seams to give some extra fabric if you need to make fitting adjustments from one year to another. Attach a pin cushion to the head of your sewing machine so pins will be at fingertips when you sew and can be easily replaced when you remove them from your fabric as you stitch. Heating and Burning Values of Wood Vary Many people think any kind of wood will burn well, but it doesn’t work that way. Some species of wood do make more heat and burn better than others. Here are some guidelines about the heating and bur- lthaca Model 51 A 12 gauge List 269.95 Sale nlng values of the different species of wood. Some homeowners and farmers may have trees that need to be pruned and others that should be removed. Cutting them for firewood may be a good idea in many situations. Species rating as best for fireplace burning are: white oak, apple, black birch, hickory and black locust. Rated good are: white ash, beech, black cherry, red oak, elm, maple and black walnut. Fair are: white birch, sycamore, yellow poplar, yellow and red pine. Some species rated as poor for fireplace burning are: Aspen, basswood, willow, white pine and spruce. Remember these ratings are for heating and burning values only. They can’t be applied to ratings for other purposes. For good burning qualities, all wood should be dried at least one year. Green wood must be kept burning with kindling or mixed with other thoroughly dry wood. • Even if you can't come to the bank, your money is available to you.
