" "-- " H 4 4 '- H.JI - M ""i -v r 'V" FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Wednesday, November 23, 1977 New Helps for Home Seam stresses We often get requests for information on the basics of clothing construction. In an swer to such requests, Ardis Koester, OSU Extension Tex tiles & Clothing specialist, has recently prepared a series of illustrated fact sheets on a wide variety of sewing topics, each giving complete instruc tions about steps involved. The publications are equally useful to adults and younger people wishing to learn the basics of clothing construc tion. One especially useful to all ages is the "Pressing" bulle tin, since correct pressing, as garments are being construc ted, often will determine the professional appearance of the finished article. Another that should be of interest to those sewing on woven fabrics is "Seams and Seam Finishes", since many of the newer favrics do need more attention to this detail than the knits that have been used so much recently. Correct techniques for "Darts" in various types of fabrics are given in this new sheet covering that detail. With fashions softened, and showing ruffles and gathers, the "Ease and Gathers" bulletin is very timely to help with holiday fashions! A number of earlier publica tions, also available at the Morrow Extension office, in cude sewing equipment, basic hand stitches, and cutting skills. The cutting skills out lines steps in "grading" or layering seams. This is also another important step in completing a well made, or professional appearing gar ment! The complete series of fact sheets or bulletins are available at no charge, and with their excellent instruc tions, any one should be able to sew for the holidays! On thoughts of sewing for the holidays, I'd like to comment on the great selec tion the newest fabrics that we find in our local stores! Often our local fabric shops have more complete, and better selection of the very latest fashion fabrics, than we find in the city. And holiday fabrics are lovely this year.

Toy Safety The snow reminds us that the season for toy shopping is at hand, and stores seem to be well stocked with toys of every shape and kind! Some things to consider as you look at toys : at toys: Are there small parts that could be swallowed or in haled? Does the toy involve shoot ing or throwing objects that can injure eyes? Are there sharp edges or points that might be harmful to hearing? Does it make loud, sharp noises that might be harmful to hearing? Is it labeled indicating safe age group for it's use? If made of plastic, is it durable enough to survive rough play? Will a child be able to use this toy safely? Many creative new toys ap pear each year. ..educational as well as entertaining, and play is an important part of children's development.
