Decide the depth of cuff that you want. Mark a line this distance above the line AB, as indicated by the line CD, Fig. 37. Place a piece of paper under the diagram and trace across the lines CD and AB and the sides of the sleeve for the cuff.

In cutting out the pattern for the cuff, allow a hem at the top and seams on the other edges. In cutting out the sleeve pattern allow seams at all edges.

Cutting a Straight Hanging Dress: Such a style as is shown in Fig. 32 might be made in any medium weight cotton. If you are making a morning frock, try unbleached muslin touched up with trimmings of gay flowered chintz. They are using flowered calicos too. They come in delightful shades of pink, lavender and light green, to say nothing of the lovely shades that are offered in blue. Of course, gingham and chambray are always nice.
