LESSON 148.
CRINOLINE CUFF.
This cuff is connected to a short sleeve for dresses and shirt waists The beginning of the outline of this cuff is the same as usual. Begin to draw a line from A to B, which is about 12 inches, for the regular width and 1 inch more for seams. Now take one-half of A and B, which makes G and draw a straight line up from A to DG to H and B to C. The width from A to D and B to C is 10 inches; from A to F and B to E is 6 inches. Cross a line from E to F, and the space between F and D and E to C is left over a 4-inch space. Take on both sides of E and F 1 inch, making E to K and E to J; also from F to M and from F to L. Connect all these to I with curves, as shown on the diagram, from A to N, and from B to O is 1 inch: then connect from N to M and from O to K up with straight lines; from G to S is 1 inch space and make a curve from NS to O, from D to P; from C to Q is 1 1/2 inches space. Now connect this straight line from O to J and from P to L; from H to R is 1 inch and curve OR to P. This will complete this cuff. If a continuation narrow cuff is wanted, draw a line out from H to T, which is about 4 inches, and draw a straight line across at T and measure from T to U; from T to V is 5 inches on each side. This is the front part of the narrow cuff, which amounts to 10 inches, and after seams are taken off the front of this cuff will measure clear 9 inches. Now connect U to O and V to P and cut out this cuff. Cut the two inside parts at the curved lines, as follows: From N, M, L, K, O and S to X and from L to P, R, Q, J and I to L is the narrow front cuff and is the front part from P to V and R to T and Q to U. This front part of the cuff" can remain also in one piece with the inside part at Q, R and P, all seams being allowed.
