SIMPLE DRAWN WORK.
Many Attractive Designs Can Be Used on

Drawn work is the most ancient of all forms of

cannot well be in disfavor.
Drawn work is used on a variety Of fabrcs>and
for variety of purposes. and it can be as simple
or as elaborate fancy may dictate. The simple
hemstitching with which all so familiar is in
reality phase of drawn work and one of its essen
tial features. Careful panstaking precision. neat
and endless amount of practice combine in
making drawn work a success. 1t is frequently
stated that 1t IS very trying to the eyes, and this
fact induces many people who interested in the
work to draw back This is wrong, for many beau

threads are evenly woven and will draw easily.
THE pattern in the drawnwoTk corner is simple,

The first step is to draw the threads marking the
hem. which we will assume to be one inch in depth.
Basic the hem in position. Now, an inch from where
you drew the first thread draw another> This marks
the space for the drawn work and the threads
should be drawn only down to the hem. This makes
a square in each corner. Work closely in buttonhOle

held so securely as when in a frame.
