Sally’s Hints to Housewives
Net or lace curtains suspended from rods top and bottom will look at their best if, after washing them, they are threaded on to the rods while still wet. By this method ironing is unnecessary, and the curtains ivill not shrink.
When sheets arc worn thin in the middle, cut them in two and sew the outer edges together. This brings the thin part to the outside, where it can he trimmed, if necessary, before hemming.
