M uch has been said of the im ­
portance of selecting m a te ria l to fit
yo u r p a tte rn , but th is no longer o f­
fers m uch of a p roblem . Y o u r p a t­
te rn is a good guide to the m a te ­
ria l to be used. I f you do a lo t of
sewing yo u r fingers and eyes can
q u ic k ly decide the s u ita b ility of the
fa b ric to the pa tte rn .
An im p o rta n t consideration, how ­
ever, is the selection o f the collar.

The s m a ll double c o lla r, usually

c lip so the c o lla r can be turned
easily. Be sure the seam thus
created is pressed fla t before tu rn ­

bulging. T h is is attached to the
blouse by mfeans of a v e ry n a rro w
