Happy Trio Tips on Using Garment @ Patterns |

By ART WRIGHT | HERE ARE some handy “tips”, for those entrants who are asing standard patterns in seeking their share of the $1460 in cash prizes in The Times National Sewing Contest. A standard pattern is one available to anyone on the market . . . like those you purchase from The Times Pattern | Service, or those available in rhe stores. It isn’t hard to “read” a pattern, to recognize and understand the various markings found on | the different pattern pieces. Some | pattern pieces have printed direc-| tions given on them, but largely they are marked by means of! perforations. i Whichever marking is used, the! pattern instruction sheet, which is included in every pattern envelope, gives the key. It will tell| you all about your pattern; what| the perforation markings stand for; how to cut the pattern and| how to assemble it. First step, usually, is to take out your pat-| tern instruction sheet and decide which view of the pattern you! think would best become you.
