Sachet in Guipure d'Art_.

Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 18;
green satin; poudre d'iris; green satin ribbon; green silk cord.

The size of the netting depends on that of the sachet. The netting must
be fastened in a frame, and darned with fine thread; the flowers are
worked in darning stitch, and the ground in point d'esprit. The cushion
is made of green satin, perfumed with poudre d'iris. When the netting
has been fastened on, it is edged all round with a green satin ruche,
and green silk cord, forming loops at every corner.

Materials: Blue satin; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread
No. 16; blue silk cord.

[Illustration: 571.--Work Case in Guipure d'Art (Back).]

This little work-case, of darned netting and blue satin, is five inches
and four-fifths long, four inches wide, and is fastened with a loop and
button. The back, front, side, and the flap are worked all in one piece.
The netting is worked with white thread No. 12, over a mesh measuring at
least two-fifths of an inch round. For the flap the netting must be
slanted off on both sides; this is done either by decreasings, or by
cutting off the corners of the work. The latter is then darned in linen
stitch, darning stitch, and point d'esprit, from No. 572, which shows
the front of the case, and from No. 571, which shows the back. The
netting is then lined with blue satin, and sewn together at the sides
with button-hole stitches on the right side. The flap is edged with
button-hole stitch; sew on a small button, and make a small loop to
correspond. The case is edged all round with blue silk cord.
