A PILLOW CASE WITH A FRILL.
The Bedspread.
Cut out a piece of canvas large enough to cover the bed, and hang over the mattress, allowing extra around for the hem.
Hemstitch around, taking two sets of threads together; for the second side of the hemstitch sew together two sets of threads, but take up alternate threads to those taken up on the other side; this serpentine stitch is shown on [page 30].
The pattern of the bedspread is shown on [page 61].
Each slanting stitch is worked over two holes—that is, pull the needle through a hole, leave two holes on the cross, put the needle into the next hole, leave two holes on the cross in the opposite direction, pull the needle up through the next hole, put the needle back into the same hole as the end of first stitch, and up again through the hole at the beginning of the second stitch.
Continue to work in this way all round the piece of canvas.
Work three more rows like this, arranged so that the stitches form a diamond pattern as you see illustrated.
Then fill in the corners with the same pattern, and work the pattern in the centre of dolly’s bedspread.
