SEGAR- CASE
IN
LEATHER
EMBROIDERY ,
BY MRS . JANE WEAVER.
6
THE foundation of the Segar- Case is of a light gray kid or Chamoise leather, the outer lines of black silk braid, sewed over with gold thread . All the solid black trefoils and the middle star cut out of black velvet, and gum them on carefully, sewing them down with white or maizecolored silk. Fill out the other parts of the 802
design with chain-stitch in fine white sewingsilk, ornamented with fine jet beads. For this single color we give for the thread- like parts of the design ; a variety of colored silks may be introduced, and give it quite an Oriental appearance. Make the case up over cardboard, or send it to the pocket-book manufactory to be made up.
