Now work a buttonhole at each side of the slot through which the narrow black riband is run, one from each side. Make a small loop of the riband and sew below each buttonhole for the purpose of pulling the bag open when closed.
The Beaded Tassels.
With the No. 12 “Star Sylko” make 5 ch into a ring, 6 dc into the ring, then 2 dc into each dc for two rounds, draw the thread through the last loop and, leaving about a yard of it attached, cut it. Run the end of the thread through the eye of the fine needle and thread 24 beads, sew this into a loop to next dc, and repeat into every 2nd dc. Fasten a thread on the wrong side of the disc and bring it up through the centre ring, thread five beads, sew to a point and bring the thread back again through the beads, fastening off underneath the disc.
A Violet Handkerchief Sachet.
There are often small pieces of canvas left over after a piece of work is finished that are too good to throw away (especially considering the present price of canvas) and yet do not seem large enough to make even a tray cloth.
The little handkerchief sachet shown here suggests one way in which such a piece may be used. The bit of canvas employed measured 12 inches by 8 inches, but two pieces half that size would do, joined to form the two sides of the sachet.
Only a small quantity of canvas is required for this Sachet.
