Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 207, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 August 1910 — Linen Pincushion. [ARTICLE]

Linen Pincushion.

Round pincushions are just now considered Very smart They are made of embroidered or lace-trimmed doilies and are not in the least difficult unless one is sufficiently ambitious to do one’s own embroidery. A small circular cushion that is not very thick through is used and the doily is placed flat over this. It should be much larger than the cushion, so that the edge extends beyond the cushion all around. The doily is double, the under side being plain; this under side is open in the middle and fastened together with buttons and buttonholes. The cushion can thus be slipped in and out readily when the cover is to be laundered. ■
