There s literally NO end of the pretty bags
which you may make for Christmas gifts. a
set of two button bags, with larger bag to
match for spools, is useful adjunct to work

of pasteboard an inch and a half in diameter
and cover for the bottoms Take a strip OF
cashmere, silk, velvet or calico, or whatever
material you use, ten inches long and
four inches deep. If velvet, it must be
lined; if cashmere. silk, or cotton, allow for
hem at top with casing below it. Sew the
ends of the strip together ar gather the
band to the circle which forms the cotton. Run
elastic tape in the casing, or narrow ribbons as
YOU prefer. The spool bag must be exactly
twice the size of those intended for buttons.
Bags for opera-glasses, to mold kerchlei ana
glasses, are made of plush or velvet, lined with
satin in either the same or a contrasting color.
The bag should be five or six inches wide by
seven or eight long and the casting for the rib
bons must be run two incher below the top.
Charming work bags for embroidery are made
from large silk kerchief or, what is less ex-
pensive, a square of pongee. Turn the corners
back on the kerchief, ornamenting each
with a small flower in needlework
or "A tiny ribbon bow Stitch q narrow
ribbon around the kerchief, below the corners,
