The decoration is of tatting worked in Corticelli Crochet and Knitting Silk in color to match the bag. A less expensive bag could be made of linen, with tatting in Corticelli Cordonnet Size 10. Measure the center of bag below the inch hem, and mark it with a knot of thread. Both sides of bag are alike in decoration. For center medallion make a 9 p. ring with 2 d. s. between p., then a 9 p. scallop with 2 d. s. between p. s. Continue with alternate ring and scallop until you have 8 rings and 8 scallops, join. Make a 7 p. ring with 2 d. s. between each picot, join it to the 5th p. of the scallop of the center medallion at the 4th p. of ring. Make an 8 p. ch. with 2 d. s. between each p., 7 p. ring,. then another chain, con- tinue until the center ring is surrounded by 8 points. Make a 7 p. ring and join to a point at the 4th p. of rings; then a 5 p. scallop with 2 d. s. between p., 4 more rings like the first, not joined together, and S scallops like the first. Make a 7 p. ring and join it to the next point of center at the 4th p. of rings. Repeat, finishing medallion. Appliqu^ on bag. The sides and lower end of bag are trimmed with border of double tatting made with spool and shuttle. Make rings of 11 p. with 2 d. s. between p.'s. With spool and shuttle, make bars of 3 p. with 2 d. s. between, finish with a ring to make a clover leaf. A seven pointed star is placed at each of the lower corners of bag after the double tatting is sewed on. To make the stars: 1st, make a 9 p. ring with 2 d. s. between p. Ch. with spool and shuttle 5 p. with 2 d. s. between each p., with shuttle make 2 d. s., 1 p., 2 d. s., close. This makes a small point. With spool and shuttle make ch. of 5 p. with 2 d. s. between to make the star point, continue till the 7 points are finished. The scroll, extending from the star points, is made as follows: R. of 7 p. with 2 d. s. between p., ch. of 5 p. with 2 d. s. between p., rp. until you have 18 rings with 17 chains between. The lower edge of bag is finished with a tartting fringe made with spool and shuttle: Make an 11 p. ring with 2 d. s. between each p., then a bar of 5 p. with 2 d. s. between each p., 5 p. ring, 5 p. bar, this completes one bar. Continue to the required length. The upper edge is finished with rings of 7 p. with 2 d. s. between p. and scallops of 6 d. s., 1 p., 6 d. H., rp. At the base of hem is appliqu^d the beading. This beading is made in 2 rows with spool and shuttle. Make a 7 p. ring, 6 d. s.,R.of S p., then 6 d. s., R.of 7 p., a scallop of 12 d. s. with 1 p. in the middle of scallop. Continue as begun, alternating a point, then a scallop. The upper row alternates as the lower but is formed a little differently. The thread is fastened to the 3d p. of the 5 p. ring and a 4 p. scallop is made. Then make a S p. ring and join at the 3d p. to the p. of the scallop of the 1st row made. Rp. Two yards of cord are required for this bag. The ends of the cord are knotted and covered with 4 tatting rings which are sewed on, giving a pretty finish and keeping the knots in place. This bag is lined with sateen and in the lining a small postage stamp pocket is made and fastened with a small hook, which adds to its desirability. The tatting is all appliqu^d on the bag before it is seamed. The lining is sewed up and fitted in and then the hem is made.
