There’s no reason for putting up with weary windows if your remod eling hag is bulging with gay pieces of material or while the remnant counters flaunt their bright pieces of fabric at you. A few time-tried decorator’s tricks, a brief session at the sewing machine plus the mak ings for the curtains can give you a new look for those windows and add cheer to the whole house. Throw out the old curtains’ No indeed, unless they're simply worn beyond repair! But if they’re short and shrunken from laundering, add a ruffle or a false hem made from a yard or two of contrasting color pattern. If they’re faded, perhaps a bit of dye or tint will do the trick, or perhaps you can remove the old color entirely with color remover and then sew sprightly tiebacks and add a bit of color around the edges for trim. Then, too, you may have old cur tains—too large or too small—from another place in which you lived. Bring these out, too, and chances are in your favor that something can be done to make them useful again. There are all sorts of ideas buzzing about that will make cur tain sewing a pleasure rather than a chore, and the sewing is easy be cause most of it’s plain stitching.

You can add color by drawing and gathering them tight at the middle of the window and tying with a bow to match the rest of the kitchen color scheme. If you like a bit more frill and fancy work at the window, it will take only a minimum of fabric to make a ruffled border—of the same fabric as the bow—to run as a For tired windows. Tieback Curtains Suitable For Any of the Rooms When considering styles for indi vidual windows, you’ll find tieback curtains ideal for practically every room in the house. Old curtain panels can easily be converted into something gay and new looking with contrasting colored ruffles around the inside edges and across the bot tom. This technique will also give you extra length and width, if that is necessary. If you’ve decided that the living or dining room, or bedroom or breakfast nook is just a bit too dark and cheerless for the winter months, then plan to use plenty of white or gay colored material. In troduce this by way of ruffling or valances, and try to have a rather sheer window curtain when possible so you can catch what bit of sun light there is available. Afraid of making ruffles? The ruf- fler time saving attachment to use on the sewing machine is now available and the sewing experts at the local sewing center will show you how easily it converts straight strips of fabric into rows of frilly trimming. Swag curtain and valance make a dining room alcove combination and you can use the same combination in the kitchen. Salvaged fabric can be used for the sash curtain. If extra length is needed decorate it with a false hem made of a straight strip of the contrasting fabric. The contrasting fabric can be carried out further for a smart effect by using it for either a ruffle or swag type valance. SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLEWORK 828 Mission St., San F rancisco, Calif.
