66. GENTLEMAN'S BRACES.
Reading edition
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.
