DRESSMAKING HINTS
Remember, when making pleats in frocks, there must always be sufficient material in the pleats to allow them to lie straight. When making gathers, use a slightly thicker cotton or silk than you would use if merely sewing the garment. Two row r s of gathers close together will be stronger than one. Make tiny stitches. When tacking the side seams of a frock, commence at the armhole and work downwards. This ensures that any stretching in the seam will come at the bottom, where it can be easily rectified.
