DIRECTIONS FOR WORK BAG

One’s Spare Moments Can Bo Well Employed In Making This Handy and Useful Article. The accompanying diagrams Illustrate the way in which a handy and useful work bag can be very easily made. It can be carried out In any size to suit different requirements. The material with which it is made is also a matter of choice; art linen,

silk, satin, or casement cloth all being equally suitable, and It is lined with sateen or silk and bound at the edges with braid or ribbon. The diagram on the right of the illustration shows the shape in which the material should be cut out, and the portions marked C and D are folded over at the points Indicated by the dotted lines and sewed down at the sides so that they form two bags or pockets; the upper one being rather larger than the lower one. The diagram marked A and B shows this accomplished and the needlework is placed in the pocket marked B which folds into the bag marked A In the same manner that a tobacco pouch Is folded together. In the edge of the upper pocket two buttonholes are made and buttons sewed on at the back of the lower pocket In corresponding positions, so that when the work bag is folded together It can be securely fastened up in the manner shown In diagram E.
