NEW FABRICS AND RIBBONS BY THE YARD By Isobel Francis Of the materials one can now buy by the yard, fancy ribbons are, perhaps, the prettiest. These include designs which might be Used to bind cushions, to edge repp curtains, or even to trim hats. Rose ribbon, heavily corded, is stitched with wavy lines in two shades of cerise. This would look well as a trimming on black, and, if used on a hat, a posy consisting of jagged pearls of the ribbon should also be made for the long black coat. Softer ribbons, more suited to the adorning of frocks, and undies, are of supple satin, just two inches -wide. Here two lines of drawn-thread work make a decorative pattern. Pastel colours only are dyed into these openworked ribbons. Embroidered flowers can also be bought by the yard. Large roses in several shades of red and pink, look delightfully artistic among their greeny-blue leaves. The embroidery can be cut so that the roses are used as appliqued motifs, or they can be left iu the strip, to be sewn at the hem of a period frock. The same inexpensive notion is carried out with small flowers of pleated silk, and quaint, beaded designs.

The Scarf Vogue Since scarves and scarf collars are so very much to the fore this season, thick washing silks are of great Interest. Some show even sections of colours, very much after the style of the patterns on college ties, and other appropriate silks for the new scarves have satin spots to create a gay colour scheme. Georgettes and muslins are still patterned with calf skin and guineafowl impressions. To pander to the vogue for “U” necklines on the new blouses and frocks, a large selection of tucked, pleated and hem-stitched georgettes have been prepared all ready to be made up into vestlets. Strips of georgette, just three or four inches wide, are finished with four tiny frills overlapping one another, or a narrow tuck is sewn between each frill. Wool And Silk Woollen fabrics are very popular. Some contain a large quantity of silk, and are particularly attractive on account of their light weight. These materials woven with tinsel threads seem to be the greatest favourites of all. Zig-zag lines in gold or silver appear on shaded grounds, while stripes, checks and spots are, in turn, worked in this lustrous stitching. Ladder-proof stockinettes, with the weave reversed to form a stripe is made on the bodice-and-skirt plan, and sold by the yard. Something newer in these cami-knicker materials is pink crepe de chine, whose bodice portion, with its edging of ecru lace, is hemstitched to a full skirt, consisting of but a few inches of the crepe, the rest being frills of lace. A beautiful, extra-wide crepe has just been put on the market. It is in a soft coffee colour, and here an extravagant border of imitation Swiss lace is vandyked to the crepe. Above the lace, intricate embroidery Anglais is worked in patches of squares and triangles to make a thoroughly “crazy” design.
