Green St. IMMK Sfiojl McHenry, III. Home sewing is such a super vogue today among young women that you're certain to please that some­ one special on your Christ­ mas list with a gift that will add Joy to her new fashion creativity. The woman who sews (80 per cent of those in the 17 to 30 age bracket are now do­ ing their own thing) is mo­ tivated today by simpler pat­ terns and exciting fabrles. Because cutting is the all- important first step--wheth­ er it be a shoulder bag, belt or a short pantsult -- the home sewer today needs a basic wardrobe of sharp, high quality scissors and shears. The fashion coordinator at J. Wiss & Sons Co. points out that Just as the artist needs a different size brush for fine and broad strokes on canvas, so does the sewer require dif­ ferent types of cutting tools when it comes to finishing a hem, cutting a pattern, snip­ ping threads, seam ripping, cutting miracle fabrics, cre­ ating appliques, embroidery, and constructing the sheer­ est lingerie. No one pair of scissors or shears is able to do all these Jobs well. So start her off on her ba­ sic wardrobe of cutting tools with one of the famous Wiss sewing sets such as "Home- maker" which contains three of the items she will need the most: 7" dressmakers' shears with bent handles which per­ mit the blade to rest flat on the table, making it easier to follow a pattern outline precisely; 5" sewing scissors and 4" embroidery scissors for light cutting tasks such as ripping, snipping and darning. Packaged in an attractive travel case in five fashion colors and offering lasting protection as well as beauty, there's a wide choice of oth­ er sets containing pinking shears for making hems and decorative zig-zags on ap pliques; straight trimmers for cloth cutting and many other models.
