Southern Oregon Miner, Thursday, April 12, 1945 Make Your Own Smart Clothes For Marketing and Gardening SE W INC, C IR C LE P A T T E R N S MOUStHOLV By CHERIE NICHOLAS 4 ■■ ■ ' v Frock to Accent Pretty Figure Jumper-Jacket for Sports, Street r — H o m e m a d e B r e a d s S t im u la t e A p p e t it e s 1306 (See Recipes Below) L e t ’s B a k e B r e a d s « ' ' I ’'H1S spring and summer the * greut army of American women who are still working for victory on the home front by doing their own marketing and gardening will want to look their best at all times. The quickest way to lay the groundwork fur fashion success on a war-economy basis is to get out the family sewing machine and do some stitching that will prove you're ready to win the fight in a smart and thrifty manner. Even if the only sewing machine you can get at is a long-neglected attic veteran, you will find that local sewing center ex perts can probably put it bnck in good working order with an inex pensive “tune-up." The next step now that the ma chine is in working order is to take an in v e n to r y of b a c k -n u m b e r “ male" clothes, for there is lots of good sturdy material there that can be made over Into attractive slacks and Jackets and blouses for utilitari an wear. Follow this up with some wise fabric buying of thrifty denims and printed cottons, then invest in several good patterns and you will have a perfect start-off for a suc cessful sewing program. Whether long or short slacks will provide the most figure flattery for you. or whether matching or con trasting jackets will suit your pur pose best are matters that must be decided by each individual home- sewer. It’s wise to assemble a mix- and-match wardrobe as far as pos sible, for interchangeable items give you endless costumes for many purpose wear. A real style winner for bicycle marketing is shown to the left in the illustration. It ensembles a denim jacket and knee-length cuffed slacks with a printed cotton blouse. The jacket buttons are anchored with bias-tape ends and the ap- pliqued emblem on the jacket is Waffle Pique Print 4 quickly stitched with the zig-zagget attachment. Even ration-book marketing can be a smart adventure if you wear a thrifty, eye-catching costume as pictured to the right. Red and white candy-striped cotton is used for the short - sleeved tailored shirtwaist and faded blue denim fabric is used for the hip-slurring, sleek-fitting, cuffless slacks. If you have never tackled the job of making tailored slacks before, you can learn the fine points of cutting and fitting and tai lored finishes in a few budget les sons at your local center. Experts will be glad to show you the ease with which slaoks* placket closings can be achieved by using the cord ing foot attachment. Doing spade work in the garden can be fun, and you can enjoy cool comfort all the while you are gardening, if you make an all-in- one overall with built-up bib top and combine it with a short-sleeved striped cotton blouse as shown cen tered in the picture. And here’s a grand idea! Shade your eyes from the sun by adding a visor to a gay print cotton bandana that wraps around your head. Makes a really picturesque headdress, especially if the visor is green and the kerchief is in vivid exotic colors such as this young housewife is wearing with her overall outfit. Please do observe the matching kerchief in her pocket too. adding still another flash of color to her garden ensemble. And have you heard of the new gardening aprons that have built-in knee pads? You can get overalls too, with blue leather-topped knee pads. R eleased by Western N ewspaper Union. Use Print Remnants To Make Accessories If you have several choice print remnants about you can use every inch of them in making up all sorts of flattering accessories, for there's a big vogue on tor hats, bags, gloves, dickeys and any number of other costume accents made of gay print. You can get patterns for gloves and directions for making. Another idea is the ascot tie or large bow of gay print. You can fray these about in self-fringe or you can add a brilliant touch by embroidering part of the flowers In multi-colored sequins. There's simply no lim it to the pretty things that can be made at home of gay print. One of the newest ideas is to ensemble gloves, hat and petticoat of the same print. So let your imagination go as far as it will in converting available remnants of print into stunning costume decor. Bold stripes are ever so smart made up in accessories, and bags. Scallops and Appliques Popular Trims for Frocks This refreshingly crisp and color ful young frock fits into the Joyous spring perfectly. It is made of bright print waffle pique, the pat terning done in a scalloped border or band effect in red, lime, blue and green high tones. You'll love the gay little cotton dresses such as are coming out this spring. A perky little tie-belt at each side achieves a petite waistline as well as making it adaptable for any figure to wear. A vast amount of scalloping is be ing done this season and you can’t find anything more attractive than the little softly styled frocks that are finished off around all the edges with scallops. Varied applique is another popular trimming feature. The applique ranges from vivid felt motifs so appropriate and clever for teen-age and children’s clothes to most exquisite work done in lace and passementerie. However, the art of applique is at its best in the field of cutout print florals. There is no lim it to the eye-thrilling effects that can be achieved in this direction. If you want to fill your home with delectable aroma, there's nothing like freshly baked b r e a d s w ith which to do it. Saturday baking is s o m e th in g which the present generation knows little or nothing about, because it's so easy to buy good bread. Breads should be light and tender, tender crusted and flavor-packed. Hard tq do? No, easy if you follow instructions. Many are the cooks who have baked perfect bread the first time they've tried. Kneading is important, but this is not difficult. This is done by push ing the heel part of the palm down into the dough and folding over, then repeating the process over and over again. Once you establish the rou tine, there's a kind of fascinating rhythm to it. The dough should be kneaded until satiny and smooth. Don't try to hurry up the rising process. It takes just so long, and good bread can't be hurried along. The temperature should be fairly warm, around 80 to 85 degrees Fah renheit for bread raising. If you want to avoid the dark streaks in bread, add all the flour at the time of mixing. If added lat er, flour gives a coarse texture and makes unattractive streaks in the bread. Two processes are used in mak ing bread. If the sponge method is employed, the yeast is allowed to work in a batter-like mixture be fore other ingredients are combined with it. In the straight method, all ingredients are combined at once. If you are trying to save on sug ar, here is a good recipe to follow for making bread: •Enriched Bread. (Makes 4 1-pound loaves) 2 cups milk *4 cup light corn syrup or honey 4 teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons shortening 2 cups water 1 cake yeast cup water (lukewarm) 12 cups sifted enriched flour Scald milk. Add syrup, salt, shortening or water. Cool to luke warm. Add yeast which has been softened in % cup lukewarm water. Add flour gradu- 1 ally, mixing it I thoroughly. When dough is stiff, place on lightly floured board and knead until satiny and smooth. Shape into smooth ball. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dou bled in bulk. Punch down. Let rise again. When light, divide into 4 equal portions. Round up each por tion into a smooth ball. Cover and let rise 10 to 15 minutes. Mold into loaves. Place into greased pans and let rise until doubled in bulk. Lynn Says: Sweet Toppings: The founda tion recipe for rolls may be varied many times to give vari ety to rolls and coffee cakes.
