1 are bound with black
galloon; also the two sides marked with the same letters in Fig. 2.
[Illustration: COAL-SCUTTLE PINCUSHION AND NEEDLE BOOK.]
Before binding over, cast a bit of wire around the top and one around
the bottom of the scuttle, and bend each into its proper shape. Figs.
3 and 4 are bound all round, and sewed over and over to the places
indicated. Wrap two bits of wire, one four inches long and the other
an inch and a quarter, with black worsted, and insert them through
little holes made for the purpose to serve as the handles of the
scuttle; stuff the inside firmly with hair or cotton-wool, cover the
top with flannel, cut after Fig. 4, and button-hole the edges down all
round with worsted of the color of the flannel. If you like to add
a needle-book you can do so by cutting three leaves of differently
colored flannels, after the shape of Fig. 4, snipping the edges into
points, or button-holing them, and fastening the leaves to the back of
the scuttle above the pincushion.
