must be made of the required size and shape first, and trimmed afterwards, and for a round cushion two circular pieces of material must be cut out and sewn on to a band, and diagram B Illustrates this. Then the upper surface of the cushion is covered with pale pink silk, on which the floral design consisting of four white daisies and green leaves, shown in diagram A, has been embroidered. The sides of the cushion are loosely draped with soft pale pink silk, and the edges are

finished off with a fine pink and white silk cord.
