hemstitched edge all around the square
This can be laced with cord to plain
back, hemstitched the same way, or the
edge can have eyelets and be laced or tied
together with small ribbon bows
Again, mere pillowcase can be made OF
a figured silk hemstitched at one end and
tied in two or three places with ribbon to
close the end This is a good method for
the spare room pillow needed for other
use on occasion.
