Seams Right Seamstresses and tailors have often been the catalysts in historical accounts of mystery and intrigue. Before embarking on these perilous adventures, a person must know how to sew and perform all the tasks that are associated with sewing. This includes some surprising activities that many do not consider a part of millinery. Sewing Occupations courses teach interested students to perform all those tasks. Students learn how to prepare a sewing machine for sewing, how to read a pattern, how to put the finishing touches on their products and, in the more advanced courses, how to design and work from their own patterns. In addition to learning the technical aspects ofmillinery, students discover the career opportunities open to them in the field. These can range from industrial work to haute Courture - the designing and tailoring of unique and beautiful garments. One ofsewing's first and hardest-learned rules is to go back and redo a mistake immediately. Arlene Shatto is performing this tiresome task by taking out a zipper that somehow came out crooked. Concentration is the key to successful sewing. A good seamstress is both alert and precise, paying strict attention to her work. Dee Dee Faniel is exhibiting all those characteristics as she checks a seam for neat, straight stitches. f-t ,Q ,silk ,tv his 2 W V A It - 'Q sl xx. 4.
