In stitching a pocket on the outside
Of the garment run the stitching half
an inch above the edge Of the pocket.
This prevents the body of the garment
from tearing, as Is so often the case
when the pocket is put on In the old

turn the sleeve the wrong side out,
then set the presser foot inside the

A nice little embroidery bag is made
Of cretonne covered with two embroid-

a cardboard covered with cretonne just
the size OF the hoops. In other words,
the bag Is built like barrel, with an
opening at the side. This opening Is
held together by lacing with ribbon or
by two buttons. The bag Is carried by
ribbon loops, which are fastened at
each end to the embroidery hoops. 1t
