When making or buying undergarments, the points to consider are simplicity and durability of materials and design, ing the lining into place. The right side of the lining is placed to the right side of the garment, then basted and stitched. It is often better to taper the corners in stitching, if the material is at all heavy. C, Right side of garment. The lining is pulled through to the wrong side and adjusted as in the bound buttonhole. The upper and lower edges of the pocket should be basted to hold the material in place. D, The pocket is stitched on the machine close to the edge of the garment along the two ends and across the lower side. E, The lower end of the pocket is brought to the upper end on the wrong side of the garment and the two sides and ends stitched together and overcasted. F, The garment is turned to the right side, and the top of the pocket stitched across to correspond with the other stitching. Arrows may be used at the ends of the pockets to cover any fulling of the cloth.

Fig. 84. - Method of making a bound buttonhole, which may be used also for decoration. A, Marking the line for the buttonhole. B, Basting the binding directly over the mark for the hole. The right side of the binding is placed to the right side of the material. This binding may be cut on the bias or straight, about 1 inch longer than the hole and about 1 inch wide. C, Stitching firmly around the mark for the hole, about !/8 inch above and below the line of with special reference to their laundering qualities. Cheap trimming is not in good taste, nor does it wear well. Trimmings of the same material as the undergarment save expense and produce attractive results.
