When mother lets us make gifts
By Mary B. Grubb -illustrated by the author.
(From eBook):"..PREPARING TO MAKE GIFTS.
Isn't it great fun to shop for Christmas,
Easter and birthday gifts'? But don't your
"pennies" have a fashion of giving out long be-
fore you have finished your list %
Most of us have that experience even when we
have given many hours beforehand to the plan-
ning of the little gifts, that we wish to send to
our friends on these special days.
Suppose you try a new scheme this year. Be-
gin at once to plan and make things during your
odd minutes. As one gift after another is
finished, label and place in a "Gift" box.
You will be surprised to find how much you
have on hand, when the time comes to do your
final Christmas shopping. Consult Mother be-
fore you begin your work I am sure she will
be glad to furnish many bits of ribbon, silk,
linen, cretonne and other odds and ends that have
accumulated in her scrap bag.
In a small memorandum book make note of
these materials before you put them in your
"supply" box.
Next look over the gifts described in this book
and utilize some of your materials before you
buy anything. The needle book, handkerchief
case, collar and shopping bags and many of the
other articles, with a stencilled or embroidered
decoration, may be worked out quickly and ef-
fectively with almost any brocaded or printed
material.
When you make your gifts, be sure you select
articles that you can do well. For the important
thing in all craftwork is to have the object well
made.
Try and interest some of your friends in your
plans. You might have a ' i Gift Club, ' ' and meet
once week, to work together and to exchange
patterns and materials.
Perhaps you may be so fortunate as to have
some grown up friend who will help you select
your designs and show you about the sewing.
You must not let this gift making cause
Mother a lot of extra work. When you finish
for the day be sure to put all of your materials
away. It is well to have a certain box or desk
for your stencil and sewing outfit.
"Not what we give, but what we share
For the gift without the giver is bare."
PILLOWS AND CUSHIONS.
Beautiful and practical pillows and cushions
may be made of coarse linen, canvas, or soft bur-
lap embroidered with a cross-stitch design.
The size of the embroidery thread used de-
pends upon the quality of the cloth. The coarser
its weave, the heavier the thread should be.
The pillow design, a portion of which is given
on page 27, is quite effective worked in old rose,
dull green and black on a coarse tan canvas.
It requires two twenty-inch squares of the ma-
terial. .." TABLE OF CONTENTS /PAGE

because this category does not contain physical types of books,like the

"acceptable" word.CD is New The sellers of files onto CD-ROM can't classify
the sale,the eBook is digital not physical and it's obligatory from eBay.
