you Just about a ll the w ear they w ill
as coats, but th a t the fa b ric is s till
strong and durable, they can be con­
ve rte d in to a ttra c tiv e suits, sk irts
o r Jackets.
As long as there is s till an ap­
parent s c a rc ity o f good woolens,
j you w ill be w ell re p a id fo r any el-
fo rt you spend on the reconversion
of old coats into useful and even
sm a rt clothing.
P ra c tic a lly speaking,
there is
enough m a te ria l in alm ost any good

often a short ja cke t. I t ’ s not even
tedious w ork to do th is rem odeling
if you w ill space out the w ork c a re ­
fu lly , instead o f try in g to do the
whole tilin g at once.
The tim e spent on sewing depends
upon yo u r own in d iv id u a l s k ill.

but w h a t’ s the rush? Take it slow ly,
because yo u r re w a rd w ill be

N a tu ra lly when you are re m o d e l­
ing you w ill be som ew hat—but not
too m uch lim ite d —in w h a t you can
do w ith the m a te ria l you have. I f the
coat has no seams in the back the
job is an easy one because th is can
be used fo r the back o f the s k irt. I f
the coat is gored o r pleated, select
a p a tte rn you can adapt a cco rd in g ly.
Because o f the coat opening in
fro n t you w ill w ant a s k irt th a t has
several sections in fro n t—a t least
two.
You can of course have a
center pleat o r center seam if you
wish.

the fore the new mode in suits.
A white crepe gilet completes the
ensemble.
ever, should you discover spots o r
streaks of fa d in g in the coat, tu rn
the fa b ric to the wrong side and
use that.
F a d in g won’t occur, o f course, on
the d a rk e r fa b rics o r tweeds, but
blue and green pastel coats m a y
show some traces of fading. You’ ll
find th a t the weave on the w rong
side, though not as smooth as on
the side a lre a d y used, is p e rfe c tly
usable and serviceable.
I t you are using an old coat fo r
a ja c k e t and find th a t the edges and
buttonholes are w orn, tr y a co n tra st­
ing co lo r fo r p ip in g the opening
and m ake buttonholes in that. A
ve ry good idea fo r th is w ould be
to use some fa b ric fro m the same
m a te ria l as the s k irt as th is w ould
tie the o u tfit together.
