Wants Formal to Be Washable By Sandra Kelly Dear Sandra Kelly: I want to make a formal for my spring prom, but don't know what material to use. I would like a fabric that has a shiny surface, is a print, and washable. What do you suggest? J.C. DearJ.C.: I had many fabrics in mind until I read the word does limit your choice considerably. My best thoughts are to use a knitted Qiana jersey or one of the new knitted crepe- backed satins.

If you cannot find them in prints you could go to something that is not washable, namely, a silk. Remember that the guide word for these fabrics is soft, and therefore, they need a pattern that drapes and folds. This a great look right now, so you should not have any trouble finding the fabric or a compatible pattern. Q. Dear Sandra Kelly: What do you feel is the best way to shorten an A-line or flared skirt pattern? I am short, and I don't like the new lengths found on some'of the patterns today.

U.K. Dear Mrs. The method you choose depends upon how much you plan to shorten the pattern. The more flared the skirt, the more of the flare you remove as you shorten it. For anything less than one to two inches, I would merely cut off from the bottom the amount you wish to shorten.

With more than two inches, however, you would be running the risk of changing the skirt's overall style if you did not proceed as follows: 1) Measure up from the bottom the amount you intend to shorten your skirt. If you plan on shortening it three inches, then mark with a pencil three inches up from the lower edge across the entire skirt width. 2) Cut off and save this excess tissue. 3) Slash the pattern from the hem up to the waist in three areas put one slash up the center and one each about two inches from the side seams. Start your slash at the bottom and stop just at the waist do not go through the waist.

4) Now, take the excess tissue strip that you saved and pin it at both side seams of your new skirt bottom. Then spread the skirt pattern until the bottom is the width it originally was. At this point your excess strip should lay flat when the new edge is spread to the proper width. 5) Place a strip of paper under the slashed area and tape securely in position. This alteration allows you to shorten from the bottom without sacrificing the necessary width.

Therefore, your line will remain intact. Dear Sandra Kelly: I am making a skirt which has an inverted box pleat that begins about midway down from the center front seam. Pleats are somewhat new to me. How do I reinforce it? Mrs.D.P. Dear Mrs.

As you sew up the center front seam, back stitch for four or five stitches at the top of the pleat. This will help to hold the stitching line. And for further added strength, sew a length of seam tape about two inches long across the top of the pleat (but on the wrong side, of course). Do this with small stitches, and your pleat will not rip open. Jf your waistband has not been put on yet, you might also put a row of top stitching around the seam.

Start at the top and go down around the end of the seam at the pleat, and then up the other side. Keep the stitching about one-eighth to one-fourth inch from the seam line. This does add a more sporty tailored look, so take the style of your skirt into consideration before top stitching. is your sewing? If you have a problem, write to Mrs. Kelly and let her help you.

Just address your questions to Sandra Kelly, 6700 Squibb Road, Mission, Kansas, 66202.) 1977, Universal Press Syndicate) ir Mossman House Sold Mr. and Mrs. Danny W. Rosenquist have purchased the house of the late. Mrs.
