Here’s the Bag for You If You Read In Bed; Practical and Easily Made

THIS bag was planned as a hospital gift for someone who was finding days in bed difficult enough without having books, magazines, writing materials and spectacle case scattered about and forever getting lost. If you like to take an assortment of reading matter to bed, sick or well, you will enjoy a bag like this. Its hanger hook may be sewed to box springs and there you are with everything at hand. The bag shown here was made of a remnant of heavy cotton upholstery material in tones of green with a touch of red in the pattern. The red was repeated in the sateen lining. The sketch gives all the dimensions and shows how the lining and the outside part were made. A coat hanger was cut down to measure 12 inches from

end to end and was placed between the lining and the outside; these being stitched together around the top, as illustrated. ♦ ♦ * NOTE —These directions for making a bedside bag are from BOOK 8 of the series of booklets which Mrs. Spears has prepared for readers. This book also contains illustrated directions for more than 30 other useful things to make for your home and for gifts. To get a copy send 15 cents with name and address to:
