One end of one of the straps should be placed at the bottom of the
bib. The side of the strap should be pinned, basted, and sewed to
the right side of the bib with a running stitch. The other long side
of the strap should then be turned in one-quarter of an inch and the
ends turned in one-half of an inch. The strap should then be folded
through the center for its entire length and the free side basted to
the wrong side of the bib and hemmed down. The remaining edges
of the strap should be overhanded together. The other strap should
be sewed to the other side of the bib in the same way.
PRELIMINARY PLAN.
The bibs should have been completed before the girls report for
this lesson.
METHOD OF WORK.
As soon as the girls report for the lesson, the teacher should ex-
plain the method of attaching the straps to the bib and tell them
how to finish the straps. As they proceed with their work, she
should supervise them carefully and assign the unfinished portion of
the work for completion outside of the class.
LESSON XVI. APRONS OR UNDERGARMENTS (Continued).
Putting the bib and skirt on the belt.
SUBJECT MATTER.
The center of the bottom of the bib should be determined, and
pinned to the upper edge of the belt, to which the skirt has already
been attached. The belt should be fastened to the wrong side of
the bib. The gathering string of the bib should be drawn up, leaving
2 inches of fullness on each side of the center. The bib should be
pinned, basted, and sewed to the belt. The remaining long edges
of the belt should be turned in one-fourth inch, and the ends one-
half inch. The edges of the other belt piece should be turned in
the same way, and should be phmed over the belt to which the skirt
and bib have been attached (with all the edges turned in), and basted
carefully to keep the edges even. The skirt and bib should be
hemmed to this upper belt, and all the remaining edges should be
overhanded.
