piece about 16 inches across and mark
out the edges with a thimble and pen

plenty of sachet, and haste IL to the
inside OF the cap right under the cen

very tiny stitches on the outside and
large one inside, so that the hastings
will not be conspicuously prominent
on the outside. Place a twisted rib
