TRIMMINGS ARE EASILY MADE

Decorations for Lingerie or Children’s Garments May Be Applied With Aid of Machine. A neat, inexpensive, easily made trimming for lingerie or children’s garments may be made by threading the bobbin of a sewing machine with rope silk or any very heavy thread in a dainty, boil-proof color and using ordinary sewing cotton in the needle. Stitch near the edges of the bands, yokes, etc., having the right side of the garment toward the cloth-plate. The effect is very pleasing. Another attractive decoration is made by drawing a thread of material and weaving into the space thus made thread somewhat heavier than the one drawn. When the end of the space is reached, a French knot or a satin stitch dot may be used as a finish. Threads may be drawn to form a geometric pattern or may be spaced evenly and placpd in parallel rows. The result is at once unusual and charming.
