By EPSIE KINARD NEA Staff Writer BECAUSE THE hand-made gift fills gaps in the Christmas list during a year of shortages, and the making itself calms war= Jittery nerves, needlework and sewing supply counters are scenes of big booms. Bigger, stores report, than the last peak year which was pre-Christmas 1917. ~ Knitters are tackling everything from socks to dresses. Needlepoint addicts, looking for new fields to conquer, are making loafing slippers which,” when" mono-

grammed or initialed, make swank

additions to loungers’ wardrobes.

Checking off items on her Christmas list, the woman at the sewing machine makes a gingham dress shoulder cover to match the set of padded clothes hangers and garment bag—all easy-to-make gifts any novice can run up on the machine. In the foreground are a cuckoo house to face-lift an old alarm clock and a fringe-esred

dog for small fry.

CROCHET HOOKS are devouring thread by the box to fill out Christmas lists with gifts of chic hand-made hats, bags and smart household accessories, including filet monograms for the bride-to-be's hope chest. Mastering the thrifty wartime art of making a little look like a lot, women are wheeling out the sewing machine to convert small pieces of material into handsome gifts; are hauling out attic junk to transform with carpenter's tools

‘and paint brush into welcomed

furniture and objets d'art as gifts

. for the home.

Many sewing machine tricks are taught at local sewing centers where you can learn to make

pean bags for kindergarten children by using two pieces of bright felt. cut in the shape of fruits, vegetables and animals; how to give old clocks a face-lifting with slip-coyered cuckoo houses made ol cardboard and buckram; and how to turn out with little effort and smal] expense smart closet ensembles—garment bags, padded hangers and garment shields— which cost a small fortune to buy. x =x = AND AT needlework departments you'll find any number of perfect presents for the lady who likes to do handwork. Shops are well stocked with lines of fitted sewing boxes, cases of knitting needles in all sizes, cross-stitch
