[28] Placket A may be substituted for the gusset, if desired.
[29] A pin cushion cover may be hemstitched in place of the collar. Make this a square seven inches by seven inches, or an oblong five inches by nine inches, or any size to fit a particular cushion that can be cut from these pieces, or any size for which the pupils furnish their own material.
ROUND BOTTOM BAG WITH RAFFIA COVERING.
[30] Pupils who desire to furnish their own materials for a linen handkerchief may substitute this for the hemstitched collar.
[31] Basketry may be substituted for the apron, or a clipping case or a postal-card album may be made instead.
See "Paper, Cloth and Cardboard Construction," [page 107].
The Round Bottom Bag with a Fancy Raffia Covering.
Make the bag any size desired; a circle of three or four inches in diameter makes a practical one. Draw the pattern for the raffia covering on paper, the circle for the bottom being the same size as that of the bottom of the bag. The design for the sides may be in as many sections as desired. The tops of these sections may be shaped to suit one's taste—round, pointed or fancy. When the pattern is completed baste a strand of raffia on the pattern, following the lines of the design. Then closely blanket stitch with raffia on both sides of these strands. The spaces may then be filled with fancy lace stitches.
