Transform Your Homely Old Chairs With These Smart Button-On Frocks

you ever guess that the homely old chair at the right could be made to seem at home in a smart modern room? A simple frock of medium blue cotton rep with darker blue binding and fringe made the transformation shown here. Notice the ties that hold the cover firmly from the inside. The center back closing adds both style and convenience. The buttons are made by covering wooden molds with the slip cover material, and the bound buttonholes are quickly made. NOTE—The slip cover shown here is from Book 5 which also gives large diagrams showing how to make bound button-

holes. This 32-page booklet is full of other ideas for making the most of old furniture and things you have on hand. To get Book 5. send 15 cents with name and address direct to:
