[Illustration: 200.--Work Bag.]
This work-bag is made in the shape of a rolled-up plaid. The outside
consists of drab cloth, trimmed with applique embroidery. The inside of
the bag is slightly wadded and lined with red satin, which is quilted in
diamonds. The seams are covered with red braid, and a leather strap
completes the whole. Cut out a good pattern in paper, and then cut the
satin and wadding and the drab cloth which forms the outside. After
having traced the pattern on the cloth, work it with small pieces of
coloured cloth in applique embroidery. The different figures are sewn
over the centre partly in point Russe, partly in button-hole stitches,
with embroidery silk. The stems in the middle are worked with silk in
chain stitches. The colours may be chosen according to taste. Cut a
pattern in cardboard, and fasten the drab cloth on it. The edge must be
bordered with red satin, and the satin lining must be sewed in. The ends
of the bag are likewise cut out of cardboard; the inside is wadded and
lined with red satin; the outside worked in applique embroidery like the
rest of the bag.
