EMBROIDERY

14. CIGAR-CASE.

_Materials--Dark crimson velvet, or cachmere and gold twist or
embroidery silk; if the latter, three shades of green, three of rose,
three of blue, three of yellow, three of violet, and two of brown will
be requisite_.


Draw the pattern on the material with a white crayon, and work in
embroidery-stitch with gold twist or the silks, as may be preferred; if
the silks are used, work the leaves with the shades of green, the stems
with brown, the pansy with the shades of violet and yellow, the buds of
the rose with the greens and the rose-colours, and the forget-me-nots
with blue, carefully blending the shades as may be suggested by the
taste of the worker. Finish with a row of gold twist sewed round the
edge of the case.
