Pin underarm dart—2 inches wide at underarm and slope to a point 4 inches from bottom. Stitch. (See darts page 13.) 3. Press a 1½-inch hem all around robe including shoulder seams and armholes (see phase 1). To make hem turn edge back 2 inches and press, then press ½ inch under to make 1½ inch hem.

[Illustration: Scarf] Make clothes for school or play [Illustration: Dresses] If you have completed and judged your small article, you are ready to start your main article. You may make a skirt and blouse, or a dress. You talked this over with your mother and leader at your first meeting. By now you should have your fabric and pattern and all the other things you will need to make your chosen article. Easy-to-make blouse If you make a blouse, select a pattern which will be easy to make. Choose a pattern with few pieces and without set-in sleeves or collar. Follow the directions in your pattern for making your blouse. Learn what all the markings mean. Stay-stitch the bias edges. Page 13 tells you how to stay-stitch. Select cloth for your blouse that will look good with your skirt. Be sure the cloth is firm, pre-shrunk, and colorfast. Gathered skirt Select fabric that is colorful and gay for your skirt. Closely woven cloth will be easy to sew and will hold a sharp crease. You will need from 3 to 3½ yards of fabric for your skirt. The more fabric you try to gather in your skirt the harder it will be to make. For the girl of average height cut your skirt as follows: How to cut your skirt Cut or tear a 6½-inch strip from one side of your skirt fabric. Measure in from the selvage edge. Use this for the skirt band and pockets. There will be some left over. Tear off the selvage edge from the large piece. You may have to cut the band from the end of your fabric instead of the side if you are tall and need the extra length. The above method of cutting gives you one seam on the placket side.
