Materials: Java canvas; black silk; red wool; calico.
[Illustration: 201.--Pattern for Braces (full size).]
These braces are made of Java canvas lined with calico ornamented with
embroidery in black silk and red wool, and edged on either side with
loose button-hole stitch and crochet vandykes in red wool.
Illustration 201 shows part of the embroidered braces, full size. Work
first the embroidery of the braces, then line them with calico; work
loose button-hole stitch and crochet vandykes on all the edges of the
cross bands as well as at the top and bottom of these strips, and sew on
the tabs for the braces between the lining and the canvas. The latter
are then edged with button-hole stitch and crochet-vandykes. The
vandykes are worked as follow--in one row: 1 double in 1 button-hole
stitch, * 1 purl (3 chain, 1 double in the 1st), missing the next
button-hole stitch under it; 1 double in the following button-hole
stitch, repeat from *.
