The things we do!

Next to the inner yellow outline comes a border
worked over two strips of the canvas, in slanting stitches; this border
is alternately blue in one square and grey in the other. A star is
embroidered in point Russe in the centre of each square; it is grey in
the blue squares and blue in the grey; a steel bead is placed in the
middle of each star. The small crosses between the squares are worked in
cerise. The outer border of the work is composed of a piece of black
soutache, edged with a tiny trefoil pattern in cerise silk. The front
and back pieces of the bag are worked in the same manner. The side
pieces are made of plain Java canvas. The embroidered part measures 14
inches in its widest part, and is 11 inches deep. The bag is lined with
light brown silk, and made up with a steel clasp.
