JET TRIMMINGS
OF CORD
AND
BEADS .
BY MRS . JANE WEAVER.
THESE trimmings being still very fashionable, we give above a new and pretty design for one; and in the front of the number, on opposite pages, two other designs : all remarkable for the beauty and simplicity of their
manufacture. Any lady with a piece of black silk cord, and some beads and bugles, can readily follow these designs, and make a pretty trimming for her dresses at very little expense comparatively .
INFANT'S BOOT . BY MRS . JANE WEAVER. In the front of the number we give three engravings (all on the same page) representing an infant's boot ; the half of the boot, full size ; and the sole, full size. This little boot may be made of cloth, felt, or velvet, and simply bound
and stitched round, or braided. A little cord with tassels fastens it in front, and a little quilling of pinked silk may be put round the top of the boot. When completed, it is as pretty as it is economical.
