68. Time Saved in Sewing


In a family of small children there are a great
many buttonholes to be made. A quick way to make them in the everyday

underwear, is on the sewing machine. Sew back and forth, leaving a small

space in the center, three or four times where the buttonhole is wanted,

and cut in the space left, being careful not to cut the stitching. In

making little dresses, or slips after the skirts are sewed up, attach the

gatherer to the machine and gather the top and bottom of sleeves and

skirt. In this way work is quickly done.
