should be cut. This should be folded through the center lengthwise.
Three-fourths of an inch should be measured down on this fold, and
the material cut from the end of the selvage to this point in order
to slope the front of the apron. When the waist measure is taken,
2 inches should be added to it (1 for the lap and 1 for fmishing).
Two pieces this length, and 2\ inches wide, should be cut lengthwise of
the material for the belt, A measure should be made from the mid-
die of the back of the waist line, over the shoulder, to a point 5
inches to the right to the center front and on the waist line. Two
pieces the length of this measure, and 4| inches wide, should be cut
lengthwise of the material for the shoulder straps. A piece 9 by 12
inches should be cut for the bib, the longer distance lengthwise of
the material. These measurements allow one-quarter inch for
seams.

PRELIMINARY PLAN.
Previous to the lesson the teacher should see if arrangements can
be made to secure the use of one or two sewing machines, so that the
girls can sew all the long seams of their aprons by machine.
At a previous lesson she should discuss with the girls the material
of which they can make their aprons. They should consider whether
the apron should be white or colored, and whether it should be oi
muslin, cambric, or gingham. Each girl will need from 1-J to 2
yards of material, according to her size. The taller girls will need 2
yards.
There should be on hand a sufficient number of tape measures,
pins, and scissors, so that the girls can proceed with the cutting of
their aprons with no unnecessary delay.
