This case will be found very useful on the occasion of a journey or
picnic, as it can be carried in the pocket without any inconvenience.
The case is made of a strip of grey kid, scalloped out at the edges. The
words "Bon appetit," or "Good appetite," at will, are worked over it in
overcast with black purse silk and steel beads, the scroll pattern in
chain stitch with red silk. The back and front of the case are formed of
the same strip, which is lined with oilskin, and to which narrow
side-pieces are added to form the pocket. These pieces are lined and
scalloped out in the same way as the back and front, and then the
scallops of both sides are joined together, and worked round in
button-hole stitch with purse silk.
The case is fastened down with a steel button.
If another colour is preferred, the sandwich case can be made of brown
kid. The scroll pattern should then be worked in rich blue purse silk,
and gold beads used for the letters, which should be embroidered as
before in black silk. The edge may be worked in double overcast stitch
in blue or black silk.
