patch pocket.
Charity Irvine fashioned an
unlined watermelon print jacket
with two front patch pockets and
casually cuffed long sleeves. Her

bound button holes.

the top of the bodice and sleeve

as they are silk organza and
required accurate marking to

Sonja Smith is ready for the
next blizzard as she stitched a
classic wool coat with bound but
tonholes, a notched collar, and
patch pocket styling that flows eas
ily into a back belt To coordinate
with the fully-lined coat, scarf, and

Every one a winner
Although every participant did
not receive a ribbon, Alletta
Schadler, Lebanon County home
economist and chairperson of the
regional competition, said, “All
the participants are winners in the
best sense of the word. They have
taken the raw materials of fabric
and pattern, added a measure of
creativity, applied hard work and
the techniques they have learned to
create a unique garment. They
have completed the project they set
out to do to the best of their ability.
They have met new friends and
learned more about themselves in
the process.”
