Butcher's linen is frequently used for interlining, as it takes 
starch well. The directions given here are for the making 
of the cuff which is cut in , 
 
 
one piece, as it is exceedingly 
simple. The cuffs are cut to 
the required length plus a 
seam allowance on each end 
and three times the desired 
width plus one seam allow- 
ance. The Y4/, allowance on 
the width is turned to the 
wrong side and basted. The 
material is then divided 
widthwise into three equal 
parts and folded in this way:

turned seam allowance, right 
sides together,* the remaining third is folded back over the 
centre third, wrong sides together, with its raw edge coming 
                            just to the folded edge. These 
                            three. thicknesess should then 
 
 
gether across each end in the 
seam tracings. In turning 
these seams to the wrong side 
the two pieces basted right 
sides together come out and 
form the cuff. It should be 
carefully creased and basted 
along the two stitched ends 
and across the folded edge 
and its centre marked. It is 
then ready to be joined to
