Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 143, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 June 1918 — Old Comforters. [ARTICLE]

Old Comforters.

Sometimes from two badly worn comforters it is possible to make one that is satisfactory. The cotton can be carefully looked over,, and that that is badly worn or soiled thrown away and the bne remaining comforter made thicker or longer than either of the two original ones. The covers may be cut over so that from one comforter the top cover may be taken and from the other, the lining. Sometimes from a single old comforter a child’s comfort can be made, or a comforter for a baby’s crib. But if you have a. thimble and a needlebook and some Spools of heavy thread, a set of ten fingers and wits of an average sort never throw away old comforters.
