'HET11ER you do a lot of sewing
or not, you can't escape the
daily and weekly mending Jobs that
Inevitably will fall upon you. Most
women dislike mending because it's
what they term a dull Job, but there
are ways of making it Interesting.
"1 never liked mending until I
changed my ideas about it," said a
woman to me recently. It seems that
she had done such intricate sewing
In her time that mending was a
come-down for her, but when she
decided that she would learn to
mend so no one suspected that a
patch-up Job had been done, this
tested her ingenuity to such an ex­
tent that the task became an inter­
esting one.
I tried this myself and found it.
could be a fascinating Job. if you
are mending men’s socks, try to
weave in the stitches so you
wouldn't suspect they were there,
and see for yourself how interesting
this can be!
Or suppose you've torn the pocket
on your best apron. Why not remove
the pocket, weave or patch the ma­
terial in a very subtle way and
make a larger pocket of a flower
design?
Have your best gloves slipped a
seam? You have a chance to match
your weaving skill to the stitch al­
ready used in the gloves. You see,
it can be fun!
Machine-Made Sweaters
Can Be Mended
Always pace around your prob­
lem, something in the manner of an
engineer before you mend some­
thing really important. There are
many types of mending Jobs, all re­
quiring different materials and tech­
niques.
It is sometimes difficult to match
the stitches used In machine-made
sweaters, but the darning tactics
can be hidden easily with attractive,
decorative embroidery.
The first thing to do is to cut a
piece from the bottom of the
sweater, unravel it and use for darn­
ing the hole. The cut edge of the
sweater should be overcast. It the
darn is too obvious, make an at­
tractive embroidery stitch or design
over it to disguise the darn. Scat­
tered sprays of flowers or daisy
stitch are easy to use and effective
for covering darns. Applique spots
of embroidery are good, especially
when the elbows of the sweater
have been mended.
When you mend the part of the
» e a te r from which you cut. make
certain that you catch every stitch
to prevent unraveling. Stretch the
edge as you work so that you can
be sure of catching the stitches.
On dark fabrics of dresses, espe­
cially if they are woolen, you fre­
quently can work a darn so that it

How to Mend

If your sheets have torn hems, add
contrasting bands of fast-colored
percale to top or bottom or both.
Your sheets will be more attractive
and colorful than when they were

Small tears and holes can he

inconspicuous. Use small stars or
flower sprays to cover them.
Large holes will need a patching
job. Overcast a split sheet, join the
outside edges and overcast by hand
so that the seams will be flat.
Sheets which are too worn to be
mended may be cut down for tow-
