LADIES,
HAVE YOU HEARD?
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.

hemline. Instead of sewing a
wide hem, take a two-inch
tuck in the hem on the wrong
side. 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-

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.
