EMBROIDERY

66. GENTLEMAN'S BRACES.

_Materials--Black velvet or white satin ribbon of a very good quality,
and five shades of crimson and three of green embroidery silk_.


Line the ribbon with linen; draw the design, and work in
embroidery-stitch, shading, as taste may direct,--the leaves with the
greens, and the roses with crimson, using three shades for each rose,
and working first only with the lightest shades, then with the darkest
only.
