SEWING ROOM AIDS

Keep a small pincushion hanging on the Inachine with pins and needles in it. For an extra large hole In stockings fit a piece of netting to the hole and darn through the meshes. In making children’s dresses make the sleeve straight and put a casing on the underside about one inch from the hem. These may be run with ribbons and removed when washed, making the sleeve easy to iron. When the eyes are tired and smart take a basin of water, dip the face in and when the eyes are completely under water open and shut them. Do this once or twice and find how refreshed they feel.
