Make -Over Magic Little girls' dresses seem to have a special talent for be- coming too short in no time at all. Three ideas are offered by sewing experts for this pro- blem. One is a false hem with wide cotton bias skirt facing. Drop the hem of the garment to the proper length and use facing to create the illusion of a hem and allow the skirt to hang correctly. Cotton bias skirt facing can be found at your sewing supplies store in a wide colour range. Although this method is best suited to a circular -cut skirt, it can be used on any skirt with a hem deep enough to provide the necessary length. Another effective way to lengthen a child's dress --- and give it a fresh new look as well --- is to insert strips of cotton eyelet lace in the lower portion of the skirt. If the bodice of a child's dress is too short, use part of the sash to make an insert in the bodice for extra length. In most cases, enough sash will be left over to make a belt for the dress. If not, use other fa- bric to make a contrasting belt for an added touch of colour. By adapting these make -over tricks to your youngsters' ward- robes, you'll find fewer new garments will be needed at once. As you do add new out- fits, keep these make -over possibilities in mind and select styles that can be altered to lead longer lives. 0--0--0 A successful New York de- signer has an unusual fashion theory.... namely, that home furnishings accessories make interesting clothes. For coats, dresses, at-home 4 outfits, the designer uses rugs, printed cotton bedspreads, up- holstery and drapery fabrics, tassels... in short, anything and everything in the way of house- hold fabrics. The clothes so produced are colorful, smart - looking, and definitely differ- ent. If you sew, you can come up with the same eye-catching results. Try making your own conversation -piece garment from a length of colorful up- holstery cotton. One striking example could be a rich - looking tapestry design ---use it for a dramatic long evening skirt, and wear the skirt with a gold velveteen blouse for at- home entertaining. For the teenager -in -vogue, a wrap-around skirt in an inter- estingly textured cotton topped with a broadcloth shirt would be fall fashion at its best. -- Mrs.Charles Bain of Cale- donia is spending this week with Mrs. Stafford Bateson.
