To Renew Transfers
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you let me know how to make a transfer usable again? I have an idea it involves using washing blue and some-
thing else.

Wellington:
Take equal parts washing blue and white sugar, mix with water to consistency of cream. Then apply with an ordinary pen (new), tracing the pattern on transfer. Let dry, then iron on material. This can be done over and over again as long as the paper is in good order. Somebody has suggested going over the transfer design with a free flowing ballpoint pen, which is up-to-date and easy. On the other hand, remember that ballpoint ink is hard to get out if you press the pattern on where it is not wanted. "Pip," of Hamilton, sends us this idea: I have had great success with transfers by re-doing them with carbon paper. After using the transfer, place it on a piece of carbon paper with the carbon facing upwards on to the original transfer; then pencil over the design and you can iron the pattern off again. If you want the design reversed, just turn it over and pencil through on the reverse side of the original.
