BAGS
In these days of strict economy, the following "uses for any old bags may be appreciated. Flour bags, for instance, when unpicked, and laundered,: make -excellent tea-towels of a sensible size; and treated in the same -way and: bleached white, they make equally good pillow-slips. Small seed bags from the farm are used very successfully for men’s and boys’ trouser pockets.
Before using, these too are prepared by unpicking and washing well. ; Then of course there is always the sugar bag with its many uses. Peg bags are run up very quickly on the sewing machine and wear well; washing aprons are as easily made, and gardening aprons with large, business-like pockets are invaluable. Embroidered with bright wools, they can be
made very attractive.
