Men’s Shirls Convert Nicely
Into Dressy or Work Aprons Ç o w n
£rtta ./la fey
k / lK N ’S shirts are scarce these
• days, and you may wonder at
the wisdom of “ making something
out of them” In this case. But, when
a shirt is so worn that it can no
longer be used by the man of the
family, it is welcome materia) for
aprons, which are so useful and es
sential.
Shirts become worn around the
collar and sleeves, also under the
armholes and cuffs. After these
have been turned and worn again,
there’s nothing much that can be
done with them. In this case, you'll
feel well justified and economical
if you sew up an apron from them
Before getting into the actual cut
ting and sewing, let me point out
that not all shirts w ill make good
aprons. The materials which you
can and should use tor aprons are
percale, broadcloth and poplin
Those shirts of rayon are much bet
ter if converted into blouses tor
small fry.
The above-mentioned materials
which are suitable for aprons pos
sess these qualities—they are easy
to handle, they tear, crease, hem,
gather, stitch and press easily. You
w ill also want a fabric that launders
easily and one that starches nicely
Do both washing and starching be
fore you cut the fabric.
If there is a goodly amount of
material in the salvaged shirt, an
apron with a bib may be made
This type of apron is especially
practical if you want one for work

Lynn Says:
Watch Those Bread Crumbs
Although rationing is over, we
are still being called upon to con
serve vital foods. This time it
is the breadbox which is under
strict observation.
Don’t throw away those dry
crusts of bread. Let them accu
mulate in a paper bag until you
have enough to put through a
meat grinder. These w ill be very
fine and tasty to use for bread
ing.
Leftover bread crumbs, sea
soned well, may be used as top
ping for casseroles.
Eat rye, whole wheat or bran

be caused by tight tension, a
blunt needle, too long a stitch on
