Sewing and laundry tips from a vintage guide
To sew a smooth bias seam, baste a piece of paper between the two edges. Aluminum paint makes an excellent sealer. It will seal in most stains and chemicals. Finish later with two coats of good oil paint. Set your mixing bowl on a damp dish cloth to prevent slipping. Use heavy unbleached muslin for pressing cloths. Edges may be left unfinished. Boil and rinse muslin to remove lint. Buy clothes to fit the largest part of your figure. It is easier to take in a dress than to let out the seams. Wipe away the murky overnight mirror haze with ammonia then dry.
