Embroidery Bags.

The blue and white Japanese dollies so popular for summer use may be converted into neat little mending bags, which make ve£y nice gifts. Take two doilies the same size and feather-stitch them together except at the top, where they are sewed to oval rings to serve as an opening. Make ribbon loops of blue satin fastened to the sides of the rings with bows, and the result is very attractive. If you use square doilies edge them with narrow Irish lace and the top corners may be brought over the rings as a finish to double back part way over the two sides, the opposite corners farming the pointed bottom of the bag.
