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.

We jound that every one is
interested in the foods and
holiday traditions of Mexico,

fered on this subject last

One of the highlights of the
training was making tortillas.,
and from an expert! To cook
her tortillas she used the lid
from an old wood stove rather
than a fry pan, and it was a
perfect utensil to cook lovely,
flat and delicious tortillas!
Your study group leaders
will be sharing other hints on
Mexican cookery, including
delicious enchiladas, dips, and
chocolate as enjoyed by our
south of the border neighbors.
Demonstration on how to
make a pinata, a traditional

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. Take
a minute to examine your
purchase to be sure it is also
safe!
