 A COMPLETE COURSE IN DRESSMAKING trimming. The trimming is bias folds of ma¬ terial stitched flat on either side. (See Fig. 50.) Finish the lower edge of the blouse with a waistband, as shown in Fig. 51. You can buy star and other emblems, suit¬ able for sailor suits, all ready to applique. However, a pretty star can be worked over a triangular diagram. Draw a straight line as line AB, Fig. 52. Then draw two triangles with all sides equal, placing them on the line AB so that the distance from B to C and A to D is equal. If this is done, the other points will come the same. To work the star, fill in the points with over-and-over stitches. (See Fig. 53.) Then in the center portion take three long stitches and catch them in the center with a short stitch. (See Fig. 54.) Fill in the vacant space solid. (See Fig. 55.)
