DRESSMAKING AT HOME. BY SYLVIA. A OIRL'S "JUMPER." Among the most popular of garments just now are the loose and comfortable affairs known as "jumpers"; and tie sketch shows a particularly nice and easy model for the home-dressmaker to carry out with the least possible trouble. Materials, &c. Almost any fabric can be used for junipers, crepe-de-chine being employed for very smart affairs, whilst eolienne and any kind of silken or cotton weave, mercerised popliril-- and voile can be used with perfect propriety and success. For school or office wear, one or other of the most useful of the materials I have men- tioned will be suitable, whilst the war- v,-ofker who wonts a nice three-quarter- length overall will find this an excellent model for her purpose, as she can easily cut the lower part to the length required. To Cut Out. Having selected your fabric, which I will conclude is double-width, place the centre front and back to the fold. The former is only open as far as the waist, so if you prefer it Pattern No. 2,17,3. This "jumper" is just the -thing for the business or school oirl to wear at her WOl k. Its wide sleeves make it veiy ccmtoi table, and the opening to the waist quite suffjeient. About 2iyds. of double-width goods will suffice. and find it more economical to cut the front with the centre to the selvedges you can do 0 so, only you will then need to join up the lower portion as far as the waist, either open- ing the seam and pressing it flat, or folding it over, tuckwise, to correspond with the upp2r portion. The sleeves are placed lengthways of the material, and may be joined under the arm if necessary. The collar should be seamless, though a join is allowable in the facing, where needed for the sake of economy. To Make Up. You will find it easier to make and finish off the front opening, which, as I have said, I extends juso to the waist, and stitch on the pockets before joining front and back to- gether, as you can then manipulate the former more easily. Next gather the front shoulders, draw up to fit those of back; then tack and stitch together at tha shoulder and vmder-arm seams, after which neaten and press them. Now make the collar, arrange and sew this to the neck, be- ing careful not to stretoh this, and neaten with tape or orossway silk, after which press carefully, and finish off with the buttons and simulated buttonholes. Turn up and stitch hem of lower edge, press; then stitch on the casing at waist for elastic, which run in and fasten off neatly and firmly. Make the sleeves (first joining on anything that may be necessary, and opening and pressing the seams), then arrange carefully in the armhole; stitch in firmlv, cut off raw edges evenly, oversew nsatly, and finish off. m A CHILD'S PETTICOAT. Children require so many things if they are I to be kept well and comfortably garbed that a careful mother is kept always busy making something for their wardrobe. I As underv ear is not the least important of their many requirements, I have selected a nice little petticoat for one of my illustra- tions this week, whose chief recommendation is the fact that it fastens on the shoulders, and is both easy to make and put on, as well as most comforLaL2 in wear. Though the sketch shows the skirt and bodice joined together, and made of the same material, it is qui to ensy to'^ooke the two parts separate, so that the petticoat can be buttoned on, "he11 different materials can be used for the bodice and skirt, either flannel 0' cotton, as preferred. To Cut Out. The cutting out is so simple that only a few directions are necessary. The front and back of bodice being seamless, the best plan to arrange the pattern ca the material—which I assume to be 33 inches wide—is to cut 011 the length required for this, and then fold the I Pattern No. 2,174. This pattern is intended for a ciiild of two to four years old, and fastens on the shoulder. Two yards of 36 inch material wiil make two retti- coats, by cutting one in with tha o,lier. selvedges over towards the centre. far enough to take the back or the front, the centre of which has been placed to the fold. Now fold over the other selvedge in the same way, and place the other half on the folded portion to correspond; pin in position, mark round, and cut out, allowing very good turnings at the shoulders, and ample elsewhere. The skirt consists of a width and a half of material, cut across it, and of the length rc- cuired. so as two Detticoats at least will be I

required it will be more economical to cut and make the two at the same time, by which means you will save half a width of material. T Mr-ke Up. Having cut out, join the bodice under the arms, neaten and finish off. Now face the shoulder-portion with a strip of material (to strengthen it, as it is a little oil the bias), or wide tape if the material would make it clumsy, and stitch at both edges; make the buttonholes on the back, and sew buttons on tÍJe right side to correspond. The next thing is 1.0- neaten the neck and armholes with tape or crossway material, and sew on the lace or embroidery edging. Now join the seams of petticoat, which, if flannel be used, must be run-and-herring- boned down neatly, raw edged, and then hem the lower edge. Gather the upper edge, draw up to fit bodice, stitch together (the two raw edges on the wrong side), fold these up tuck- wise, so that the petticoat; falls in its proper place and the edges are concealed; then stitch along firmly and finish off. j
