WENDY’S DRESSMAKERS

PRETTY “WAITRESS” APRONS. A Wendy- girl has to help io serve teas at her School Party, and has asked me to tell her how to make a pretty little apron to wear over her dress. Perhaps all of you would like to know? Here are two patterns, both attractive and easy to copy. Choose gay flowered voile or. printed cotton, and buy about one yard for either apron. The apron with pointed yoke and skirt is made from two triangles of material—a small one for the top, a larger one for the skirt. Measure yourself to get an idea of the sizes; and I think it would be a good plan to cut out the triangles in newspaper first of all. . Arrange them as shown in Dia-

gram A, with a folded strip of plain material between for the waistbelt, and stitch both triangles to this waistbelt. Hem all the edges, sew a loop of the belt material to the top point of the upper triangle, to slip over your head, and the apron is finished. The second one is made in much the same way, but the shapes are circular. Diagram B shows you just how they are arranged. Instead of hemming all the edges, you could bind them with bias binding to match the waistbelt. If you have any material left over, make a wee mob cap to match. This is just a circle of material, gathered round the edge, and sewn to a head-band of ribbon, as shown in Diagram C. It will look very sweet if you have long ends to the ribbon, so that you can tie them in a pretty bow at the back of your i head. Wendy’s Dressmaker.
