Wherii Cutting Striped
Material
ONE of the most , difficult things
for the home dressmaker to ac
complish is the proper cutting 'of
striped materials.
To be able to Cut a atriped drees well
.vis a proof! that you are by no means a
novice at the ant of dreaamaklng.
Skirts are always, cut first. Lay the
material out flat on the cutting table,
and(Jf there is no "up-and-Jown" to
the material, you will be able to nt ths
- gores into each, other, cutting the tw
terlal in an economical way.
llemember to have tihe line of small
perforations found to the center of each,
Cbre of the pattern, run straight with a
. Stripe. Thie will cause each cut edge
- to be alighrtly bias, and when Joined
will look far better than if a bias edge
was joined to the straight.- - ,
The center of the front gore must; of
course, be on a stripe. Double your ma
terial before cutting in order to have
both side exactly alike. When cutting
, sleeves, be sure the material is doubled,
. and save yourralf the trouble of having
one sleeve different from tlhe other,
. thus ruining the ganmont. -
Stripes ehould run atralgtht from the
ahoulder to the waldt In sleeves. Ilavw i
the ntrlpes run straight down the center '
Of'tiie front etvd straight down the cen
ter of the back when cutting the bodice.
Alwajns allow plenty of material for
' aecuns When striped material Is used,
and be sure that the crtrlpea match in
' the Joining of aoams. ,
