Brighten Your Home

With Some Sewing Ideas

Does the interior of your
home need a “face lifting?”
Well, jump on the band-
wagon and join the “do-it-
yourself decorating gen-
eration.”

Do-it-yourself decorating
has hit the hausehold scene
with a bang! Everyone is
trying it. You can redecor-
ate your home for a lot less
money than you have ever
imagined possible. And we
all know the importance of
thrift today.

Since home decorating
has become increasingly
more, important, the pat-
tern companies have found
many ways to help you
achieve the “fashion look”
you want for your tired
and faded rooms. They
now offer more home dec-
- orating patterns than ever
before including such items
as bedspreads, decorative
pillows, coverlets, dust ruf-
fles, quilts, draperies and,
closet accessories.

Fashion colors have be-
come as important to the
interior of your home as
they are to your wardrobe.
It’s down with plain, white
sheets, dull color schemes
“and unattractive prints.
Now home accessories have
hecome some of the most
important fashion items in
the stores today. The word
“accessory” has taken on a
new meaning. It has be-
come the little touches that
help to make your rooms
sparkle and come alive,
They can be pillows in a
variety of styles and colors,
or a bedspread in great
prints and textures, or even
towels in new fashion col-
ors. Whatever your choice,
they give your home a total
“fashion look.”

Fabrics for do-it-your-

self decorating have -been
greatly improved. You can

now buy the same great
colors, textures and prints
that were once available
only to professional design-
ers. Or, in today’s economy,
why not start with sheets
and toweling now avail-
able in colorful new prints,
stripes, plaids and solids.
And whether you sew a lot
or are just a beginner, you
can start with a small proj-
ect. Pillows or pillow cov-
ers are easy and do sa
much to freshen up that
tired room.

The next pillow you
make, why not try 3M’s
“Scotchmate” Iron - On
Flexible Fabric Fasteners
instead of a zipper. They
are a real timesaver, easy

to apply with the heat of |

an iron and can be cut to
any length desired without
weakening their ability to
perform, They are colorfast
and can be either laun-
dered or dry cleaned.

Another sewing project
that is easy to do and will
create a whole new decora-
tor look for your bedroom
is a new coverlet from a
recycled old, faded quilt.
Just take two sheets (one

smaller than the size of the

bed) and machine-stitch

them together on three -

sides, forming a large pil-
low case, Iron-on your
“Scotchmate” fabric fasten-
ers to the fourth side for
the closure and insert the
quilt, Presto, a new cover-
let for your bed and a new
life for your old quilt. Why
not add a dust ruffle to your
new coverlet? You can
make it easily by using the
iron-on fasteners.

Just use your imagina-
tion. Take advantage of
time-saving sewing tips and
in no time at all those tired
rooms of your home will
have a new lease on life.
