A quaint. pretty little article that car
be put to various feminine uses made an
of the needle-loving women of another
generation.
This useful article consisted of six small
bags all put together so as to appear as
one. The material required was one-half
yard of two kinds of silk and five yards
of narrow ribbon.
A pasteboard figure of six sides meas
uring four inches on each side was COW
cred with a thin layer of cotton, then
with the silk, a different color IN each
side.
Six bags were made, five inches In
width and six inches in depth, lined
with a contrasting color. The six small
bags were Joined neatly together, leaving
q Ia not sewed two inches from the
top. All were gathered at the bottom
and secured neatly to the sides of the
p~asteboard figure. Through the runs in
the top was drawn the ribbon which had
been cut in twelve strips, two for each
bag.
Instead Of silk, ribbon can be used.
four and one-half inches wide. Three
shades of your favorite color, making
two bags of each shade. alternating
them when joining together, is exceed
ingly pretty.
Twenty inches of each share, each cut
in two pieces, will be needed.
Such a bag is convenient for thread,
buttons, or a general workbag, being
more slightly thar the work basket with
ends; or serving excellently for an en-
broidery bag. each section holding a diff
ferent colored silk.
Another bag. useful but not quite so
dainty, for use in sending soiled clothes
to the laundry, is made in one yard of
Bingham, or any washable material,
three white porcelain buttons and a
little Wild tape. Hem the yard of cloth
all around, sew the buttons ON the
side and make buttonholes on the other
to correspond. Sew two pieces of tape to
each end.
The clothes are put into the case, the
tapes tie them in place, the case is folded
and buttoned across, the whole making
a neat bundle from which no article can
slip, and which you will not be mortified
to see in the hands of your laundress.
