. A domestic cyclopædia of practical information ... thefigure they are represented by the letters _g-andf, on the left side; the right half being left incourse of preparation to make the explanationclearer. The plaits being made on both sides,we cross the hems over the other, the stitchedone outside, and hold them in place with pinsor stitches at top and bottom until the neck hasbeen cut out, which cannot be done until theback and front of the shirt have been put to-gether. We now gather the lower edge of the trans-verse slit c d, and lay the gathers, and thenfasten them so as to make the gathered spaceof the same length as the breadth of the shirt-bosom. We then prepare two little strips,about an inch wide, to cover this gathering:turn the edges of each strip and baste one onthe outside of the shirt, half upon the bosomand half upon the gathering. This band isthen secured in its place by a row of stitchingacross the upper edge, and by being hemmeddown upon the gathers across the lower other strip is then put on the wrong side. of the shirt to correspond, and hemmed downall around. The lower edge of the garmentitself is then finished off with a very narrow next take up the back breadth (Fig. 2).The upper edge, a b, is first to be gathered SHIRTS 483 straight across, leaving six or eight inches plainon each side. We then lay the gathers andfasten them, making the gathered space cor-respond with the width of the shirt-bosom. Thelower edge of the breadth should then behemmed to match the front. We next prepare the yoke, which is to be puton above the gathers of the back. This yokeis cut by Fig. 3, which represents half of it,laid as it should be cut upon a straight pieceof the material. For the yoke we require fourpieces just alike. Two of these are to be sewedtogether over and over in the middle of the back,and make the outside, the other two arestitched together, and form the under side
