r OUR DRESSMAKING LESSON. < A SMART LITTLE SPORTS COAT. I What a wonderfully bracing effect new clothes have upon our spirits. It is quite delightful to think of doing away with the dull winter things, and turning our atten- tion to spring attire. Even though there may be still some cold days before us-and the sunny weather we are no-,v enjoying is often accompanied by a pretty spiteful wind—most of us have de- cided to discard long coats. But, as we all pride ourselves on our own good sense, we will also take care not to suffer for our vanity, and replace the great coat by one of the natty little three-quarter length "Sport Models" which Dame Fashion has kindly prepared in such an opportune manner. They are quite spring-like, too, for the fashionable colours—emerald, green, scarlet, saxe blue, etc.—have a gay appearance, although the material itself is cosy. [Refer to D. L. No. 74.] t I am illustrating one of these charming little coats here this week, and feel sure you will all straightaway fall in love with it The making is quite simple, although the finished model presents a most perfect "tailor made" appearance. A new leather- like fabrie known as "Peau de Peche," is the most ideal medium for the reproduction of this coat. The following quantity of material foi making up same is required: Two yards double-width cloth. Pin the pattern tog-ether and try on before cutting out. If 't h.?r ;.in d t? large enough cut exactly by the pattern. Half an inch is allowed for all seams and turnings. DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING. I To Cut Out.—Lay the pattern on the material according to the diagram. Mark round all edges and notches and through all perforations with chalk, remove the pattern and cut out exactly by the chalk lines, as I all seams and turnings are allowed for. To Make.—Cut linings and facings foj ronts by the same pattern. Tack each fiat against its respec- part. In tacking on the front facings, in- terline with thin canvas. Close the side seams by machine. Pin the coat on your figure in order to ascertain just how the front darta must come; pin them care- fully, stitch, cut away unneces- sary cloth and pre*>s open. Join up the 6leeves, turn in the ends, stitch round and then fell linings neatly over all raw edges, seams and turnings. Set the sleeves carefully into armholes, tacking first, a nd trying on to make sure they hang right. Turn the front and lower edges cf coat in singly on the wrong side: stitch round and preErl thoroughly. Turn inside out and fell linings and facings over all raw edges, seams and turnings. Interline the collar with canvas, face it. and fell neatly against the neck. Neaten and adjust the pockets. Press the coat thoroughly, turn back and press the revere, and arrange for fastening with patent clips.
