 single thickness of the goods, to turn over each piece and mark around it the second time.

In diagram 29A the solid lines indicate the first placing of the pattern and the dotted lines the position of the pieces when they are turned over. Diagram 29A also illustrates how to mark for a piecing. If your pattern extends beyond the edge of the material, as indicated by the dotted lines ABCD, Diagram 29A, mark where the selvedge edge comes on the pattern as line EF, Fig. 29B, and a second line three-fourths of an inch in from it as the line GH Fig. 29B. The three-fourths of aninch is for seams. Place this portion of the pattern on the goods. (See portion marked piecing in Diagram 29A.)

To Make a Plain Waistline Apron.—Join the piecing to the apron with a plain seam if the edges are selvedge. However, if either of the edges is raw, make a French seam. You will remember that the making of different seams was explained in Lesson I.
