Sew with sheets and save By Mabel S. Obenchain (Seventh in a Series) Printed sheets come in easy-care, no-iron blends, in a variety of patterns both traditional and modern and are a great way to add color to your decorating projects. Because of their width, they are economical and they are easy and fun to work with. A list of sheet sizes and thejr measurements follow. These measurements are torn size before hemming.

Before cutting any item that you intend to make from a sheet or a pillowcase, rip all hems and press the folds out, unless in your planning, the hems can be adapted to the project. Flat No-Iron Sheets Twin-size sheet 72 by 104 inches Full-size sheet 81 by 104 inches Queen-size sheet 108 by 115 inches Pillow case 42 by 36 inches A round tablecloth and matching napkins made to fit a small, round table from a thrift shop or one of the sturdy and inexpensive cardboard table forms can be a cozy corner in your kitchen. To make a tablecloth for a round table from a sheet, take the diameter of the table plus twice the measurement of the drop (distance from the edge of the table to the Assired length). For a table 33 inches in diameter and 29 inches high, a circle 91 inches in diameter is required and a king-size sheet wiil be the size to use. Rip seams and press to remove fold.

Fold sheet in lengthwise, then crosswise to form a square four layers thick. Add twice table height plus once the diameter, then divide in half to obtain the radius which in our example is 25.5 inches. Make a string compass, tie a knot at one end, then tie a second knot at point from first that is equal to the radius. Pin knot of compass at point of fold edges and mark circle at second knot. Mark a second circle outside the first line one inch deep.

Cut along this line. (Fig. 1) Turn raw edge up one quarter inch. Then turn under three-quarters inch and hem, easing in the fullness. If desired, purchased trim, such as ball fringe may be sewn to edge of cloth.

Have Ihe lower edge of trim along 'the lower edge of cloth.
