The Sale Season

The Sale Season.

Sales are an economy only to the wise purchasers. By all means look round for bargains, but never buy anything unless you can put it to definite use within a short time. Otherwise you will find your house cluttered up with remnants which took your fancy for the moment, and your purse empty. If you have a real knack for renovating out-of-date dresses, coats and costumes made of good material can be bought very reasonably during sales, but unless you are fairly expert, don't attempt refurbishing—it is better, and cheaper, to buy a new piece of material.

If you have stools or small chairs which need recovering, now in the time to search for small pieces of tapestry. From these, useful and decorative shopping-bags may also be made. Keep your eyes open for fabrics such as shadow tissues which will be needed in the spring for loose-covers, cushions, etc.
