TO-DAY let's plan a transforma-

Ilon scene for the bedroom not mean a spring clean nor yet to scroo existing furnishing.

But you can work wonders in chooring up curtains and covers with remnants and short lengths of chinta, cretonne and cottons from the sales,

Small" Bowery patterns and all-over lear I designs are most prac- tical for renovations because, being composed of soft mixed colours on neutral grounds, they tone in well with existing fabrics.

Adding a

Boral border to plain material is one quite good way of cheering Up curtains which have atrunk a little in the wash.

Use a small patterried cretonne or shiny chinta, and make the border noven to nine inches deep, shortening the curtain a little more if necessary, tiut personally I like to keep the extra material

backing for the

border.

The double material at the hem gives extra weight and helps the cur tains to hang well.

Two Fabrics

Avoid a straight line of stitching where the two materials join. One effective method of joining is to cul tour! the shapes of the flowers and leaves on the patterned material, tack this cut edge on to the curtain and buttonnole the two fabrics together.

Then turn up the hem and alip- stitch the plain curtain fabric to the patterned one on the wrong side.

Another idea for tuing up a short length of chintz is to make a diaped You pelmet for a bedroom window. will need a length about twice the width of the window,
