B is
chain-stitched in blue and white lines, C feather-stitched in white
and yellow. The daisy-like flower above is white, with a yellow center
and a green stem, and the long lines of stitching on either side are
in red and black. Some of these bags are very pretty.
This bag could be simplified by using no cashmere, and
feather-stitching each quarter diagonally across with alternate black,
red, and yellow lines.

ANOTHER SCRAP-BAG.
The upper part of this bag is made of silver perforated paper. Buy a
strip a foot long and six inches wide, and embroider it all over in
alternate lines of cross and single stitching, using single zephyr
worsted, blue or rose-colored. Cut a piece of stiff card-board of
exactly the same size, and line it with pink or blue silk to match the
worsted. Sew the two ends together to form a circle, lay the silver
paper smoothly over it, stitch down, and trim both edges with plaited
satin ribbon three-quarters of an inch wide.
