We have an interesting variety of both shades and buses in these pictures taken at Peel's summary day. Shades are made of fabric. parchment. wall paper, paper with culnoul‘s, even a map. Old iugs, vases and driftwood make some of the original bases. At most of the summary days Miss Armour showed a film on lighting. Sew To Save Lambton, Kent, Essex, Norfolk, Haldimand, Lincoln, Oxford and Ontario counties took the project "Sew to SaVe Dollars and Make Sense.” In this project simple techniques of sewing were taught, or learned, and sug- gestions were given for articles that could be made with small amounts of material and a minimum of time and energy. The articles were especially suitable for bazaars or gifts as well as for the maker’s own use. There were children’s sun suits, mother and daught- er dresses, aprons, pot holders, collars and other dress accessories. The aprons were very popular; some especially good styles had been shown at the training school and attention had been given to fit, colour, material, use and attractiveness. The whole project was based on the mak- ing and use of bias binding; and the interest in this, especially in the making of the bind- ing and cording, was so general that local leaders had calls from women they had never heard of, asking to be taught the popular new sewing trick. All the summary days had exhibits of work by members of the local groups and all had fashion shows. In Norfolk county a group in a tourist town had a parade of beach clothes. Another made their exhibit entirely of baby’s clothes. In Lincoln county a woman modelled a "sack suit” that she had made from burlap sacks and decorated profusely with bias bindâ€" SUMMER 1958 ing. She demonstrated, too, how bias binding might be used as costume jewelry~necklaces and bracelets. And to add to the entertain- ment the lady danced the Charleston. Women seem to have a lot of fun at summary days. Reporting on the work done between the time of the training school and the summary day, one leader said that there had never been as much bias binding in Haldimand since it was a county: and that the stores had never sold as much cotton print. Some of the reports were written in poetry. One leader had three elderly women in her neighborhood who could not come to the group meetings in the stormy weather but they were anxious to learn to make bias binding so the lender had them come to her home for a special lesson. The Home Economics Service instructor, Miss Dora Burke, commented on the women’s good choice of colour and material frJr their aprons and dresses and the other articles they had made. The importance of this had been stressed at the training school. The work- manship. too, was excellent_ And it was in- teresting to find that many women who had done very little sewing before they joined in this project had done vcry good work. Per- haps they had felt encouraged to make this beginning because the project did not seem too ambitious. Rugmaking Rugmaking was the project in Grey, Duf- ferin, Huron, Bruce. Prince Edward, Lanark and chfrew. Party because of the numbers taking the project, partly because of the size of the area, Bruce county had three summary 23
