LESSON XV: APRONS OR UNDERGARMENTS—Continued
Making the straps.
SUBJECT MATTER
One end of one of the straps should be placed at the bottom of the bib. The edge of the strap should be pinned, basted, and sewed to the right side of the bib with a running-stitch. The other long edge of the strap should then be turned in one quarter of an inch and the side turned in one inch. The strap should then be folded through the middle for its entire length and the free side basted to the wrong side of the bib and hemmed. The remaining edges of the strap should be overhanded together. The other strap should be sewn to the other side of the bib in the same way.
PRELIMINARY PLAN
The bibs should have been completed before the pupils report for this lesson.
