HOW TO SEW

by Ruth Wyeth Spears

A RE you planning things that will sell well at a Fair or Bazaar? Or is this the season that you catch up on odds and ends of sewing for the house? In either case you will like to stitch up a bag like this one. Everyone seems to have a special use for one of these bags on a hanger. I have one that I use for laundry when Igo traveling. Men and boys like them for closet laundry bags too, as they are plenty big enough for shirts. A little girl I know has a small version of one of these in which she keeps doll clothes scraps. I have also seen them used for everything from dress patterns to dust rags. This green and white ivy patterned chintz with green facing makes a good looking bag. Pictorial chintz will amuse a young-

ster—something with animals or toys or a landscape in the design. I saw a material the other day with a pattern showing all kinds of rope knots. A boy would like that. Each step in making the bag is shown in the sketch. In SEWING Book 3 there are directions for still another type of bag on a hanger; also a pocket for the pantry door. This book' contains directions for the spool shelves; stocking cat; "The rug that grew up with the family.” and many other of your favorites among articles that have appeared in the paper.
