It's the twist of the thread that makes the difference. Bridal Couple >rhr. Tips Homemaker Sewing leather calls for special construction techniques. Esther Siemen, University of Illinois extension clothing specialist, recommends,, that yfMJL make a muslin pattern before cutting into leathery Sins# stitdhf marks will show on leather, adjustments cannot be made after the garment is constructed. Pattern pieces may be laid out either on crosswise or lengthwise direction since leather has no grain or direction. Place pattern on the wrong side of leather and hold it in place with paper tape or with pins in the seam allowances. Be sure to transfer all markings with chalk to the wrong side. Cut only one skin at a time. Use sharp cutting shears. Since you will be cutting each piece separately, be sure to reverse each pattern piece after cutting one half so that you have aright and left side. Here are some suggestions for sewing leather: --Use a size 4 or 5 needle or a special needle for sewing leather. --Although heavy-duty thread may be used, silk thread is preferable. --Do not pull or stretch the leather as you sew. --Set machine for 8 to 10 stitches to the inch. --Pre-shrunk seam tape may be sewn into seams for reinforcement at points of strain. --To avoid soiling leather, make sure machine is clean and free of oil. Miss Sieman explains that leather garments are usually lined and lining is often extended to edges, eliminating facings. She recommends a mediumweight hair canvas for interfacing. Before lining a leather garment, press all seams open. Protect your ironing board cover from possible discoloration by using brown wrapping paper. The specialist also recommends the use of brown wrapping paper as a "press cloth" and use a moderately warm iron. Hems of leather garments should be no less than one inch and no greater than two inches. Turn hem allowance and press before securing it with rubber cement or a liquid adhesive suitable for use on leather or fabric. Buttonholes may be made by machine or by hand after the garment is completed.

Ringwood Girl In "Extension" Classroom Study Hie out-of-doors became an extension of the classroom recently when nearly twenty -five Northern Illinois university juniors and Inner City school children spent a we^k at Caiqps Hastings arid Ravenswood West at Lake Villa. Among Northern Illinois university students participating was Karin Graff at 6304 Howe road, Ringwood. The youngsters, most of them' sixth graders, were accompanied by their teachers.Inner City schools involved inthe outdoor education program were Carnegie school, 1414 East 61st Place; St. Clara school, 6423 Woodlawn Ave.; and Oakenwald south, 4071 Lake Park ave. Traveling by bus, the college students and elementary 3chool children met at the camp sites on Monday to begin a week long program of nature-oriented activities and recreational skills. The purpose of the camp program was to give NIU students majoring in elementary education, experience in teaching in the outdoors, experience with disadvantaged school children and with the problems of the urban community in regards to education. For the youngsters the educational techniques stressed normal classroom work in an outdoor setting with special emphasis on nature as a resource for learning science, art, communication and mathematics. The philosophy behind the outdoor education program is to create a more meaningful firsthand learning experience fay taking the children out "to where the world is". The person who sees, discovers or explores a situation directly is the one who gets the most out of the event. In the junior experience, college students were cabin counselors as well as part - time teachers, responsible for instruction, recreation and the well-being of the youngsters. - •- Pamela Hardy Is Soloist With College Choir Thearmual Christmas n cqo- St. Clara's Court Planning Holiday Party The National Catholic Society of Foresters, St. Clara's Court, No. 659, will hold its annual Christmas party on Dec. 12 at 8 p.m. in St. Mary's hall.
