Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 76, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 March 1911 — Renovating Blankets. [ARTICLE]

Renovating Blankets.

One of the first places to show wear in a blanket is along the edge, which will begin to split into a coarse fringe. Keeping blankets well bound with inch-wide Tib bon will prevent this. Unless some accident happens to a blanket patching is not resorted to until it is very old-; then a piece from another blanket may be laid on large enough to oover the worn place and held In place by darning rather than seaming. All thin places can be fortified by darning with ravellings from an old 1 lanket. When the blanket Is worn pi at repair, just double it and quilt if together here and there and lay It a:ross the mattress under the sheet, and it will continue to be of service.
