EVEN BUTTONHOLES.
When making a set. of buttonholes upon a garment it is fatally easy lo get them unevenly placed, despite careful calculations with the aid of a tape measure. Here is an infallible method: Cut a strip of white paper to match the fold of the garment* where the buttonholes are to be made. Fold the paper evenly into as many creases as. buttonholes required. Then unfold the paper and snip a small hole in the centre of each crease. Now pin this guide to the garment. Make a pencil mark through each hole and these will guide in cutting the buttonholes at equal distances.
