PINS ON THE WRIST
."'""
A pin-cushion wristlet is a simple, home
made device that can save the home seam
stress much time and trouble, especially
in fitting and draping and in measuring
hems, say clothing specialists of the U.S.
Department of Agriofctture. It also is
useful in fitting slip covers for furniture
and in draping curtains.
In making a dress the seamstress often
must reach for a pin fifty times of more.
Unless pins are readily accessible, reach

and means much unnecessary effort and
irritation. A tray cr box of pins may be
convenient enough for thd work that is
done on the feewing table. But for fitting
and hem work, the pin supply should move
with tho worker, and for this purpose a
pin-cushion on tho wrist is most conven
ient.
Make a round cushion about 2 inches thick
and 3 inches wide, filled with hair or
sawdust. Fasten this to an clastic band
that will slip over the hand and hold in
ihe position of a wrist watch.
A pin cushion attached to the arm of a‘
sewing machine dlso may be a time savor.
