163 _and_ 164.--_Tobacco Pouch_.
Materials: Fine crimson cloth; bits of coloured and white cloth for the
pattern; purse silk of various colours; white kid; brass rings; gimp
cord; and silk tassels.
This pouch is cut in four pieces, two of which are given in full size;
the two others must be worked after the same patterns. These patterns
represent the attributes of a lover of tobacco; they are cut out of
cloth and worked in applique over crimson cloth.
In No. 163 the outer chain stitch border is green. The knot from which
the different articles are suspended is black, the cigar-case yellow in
cloth applique, the cigars brown in satin stitch. The case is crossed by
two rows of chain stitch in blue silk, and edged all round with
button-hole stitch, also blue. The two pipes are of white cloth, edged
round with yellow silk; the shade is imitated by long stitches of grey
silk.
