PAGE TEN Pillar To Post (Continued from Page One) —B the collar will conceal a neat seam? Of course not. And now the fac- ~ ing can be pushed over two inches, and that small triangle grafted on. Pockets. Why waste all that seam allowance on patch pockets? They'll have to be trimmed off when the curves are clipped. Those collars. They can be faced with something thinner, reducing bulk ‘and adding comfort, and incident- ally saving a few inches, Now the thing is shaping up. We'll use a zipper down the front instead of overlapping for buttons, and the front will be much nar- rower in consequence. A leather belt on the storm coat instead of one made of fabric will save piece of up and down. If a boy has a concealed knitted wristlet attached to the sleeve lining, a strap for tightening the sleeve at the wrist will be superfluous. - And so it goes. Probably it would have been ‘simpler if we had bought nine yards of material in the beginning, but that purchase was made some years ago when there wasn’t such ‘an expanse of leg to reckon with, when the children were fewer, and when their average build was roly- poly instead of coltish. " And at that time there was no thought of working a full length cape out of the yardage. It was to have been dedicated in its en- tirety to overcoats and leggings. ~ Leggings are wasteful things to cut. They have to be pieced, and in such places that the piecing will seem intentional rather than ex- is a good spot, with the seam con- tinuing up to the waistline. And that extra allowance for a hem at the top can be cut off and faced with lighter material, again re- ducing bulk. It's like a chess game, with the material holding the black pieces, the cutter the white: Or like a super-duper jigsaw puzzle. Everything is cut, hack stitching is mostly done, three snowsuits complete with helmets are finished, the storm-coat, size eight, is cut, the cape, size fourteen is ready to stitch. (That item is not for a grandchild, but as camouflage for a Blessed Event). There remains on the cutting table a pair of small overcoats, size two, and two pair of leggings, with helmets to match. For the benefit of those who wish they knew how to sew but are waiting for an electric machine to run up to them, don’t wait any longer. Use the old foot-pedal model. It has the advantage of not running so fast over intricate bits of top stitching. A properly oiled foot pedal machine runs like a breeze, with no more effort than the pressure required by knee or foot to keep an electric machine running evenly. If the machine runs heavily and makes your legs tired, it needs a good oiling and a twenty-four hour rest for the oil to soak in. We've used the same old White sewing machine for thirty-five years, with a total upkeep of two dollars and fifty-nine cents, a bill incurred when we ran over a pin and jammed the mechanism. The new electric will take pins in their stride? Sure they will, and for the difference in price why can’t you take out the pin before your needle reaches it? That old White has made snow- pedient.
