LINEN BAG. BY MRS . JANE WEAVER.
THIS bag is composed of five strips of calico five inches broad and twenty-three inches long, pointed at one end, and ornamented with cordstitch embroidery, with a border of tatting or crochet. The embroidery consists of large,
colors. (For cord-stitch chain-stitch may be substituted. ) The tatted border consists of two similar rows worked with one thread, as follows:
- One Josephine knot ; then one closed eye, containing eight double knots, one large picot, and
eight double knots ; then three Josephine knots (see No. 2) again, one eye of eight double knots, one picot for joining, and eight double knots; repeat from *. The placing of the second row may be seen in the design. The tatted borders are sewn firmly on to the hemmed strips, as shown in the design. A similar border forms the upper conclusion, and takes in the cord to draw the bag. This cord may be of twisted red and white cotton to correspond with the cord embroidery. At the bottom is a round piece of calico, ornamented with a little pattern. The tassel is of red and white quilting- stitches, twisted, the narrow white cotton, and the head is covered with a hems are all fastened with cord-stitch of two kind of crocheted net-work.
