Note 31 — Chapter V
Reading edition
[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.
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.
