Mrs Beeton’s Book of Needlework
133.--Cravat
End in Embroidery.
Materials: Muslin, cambric, or linen; Messrs. Walter Evans
and Co.'s embroidery cotton No. 24, or fine black China silk.
This graceful design is worked in raised satin stitch (see
Nos. 76 and 77, Embroidery Instructions) and back stitching, or point Russe.
Black silk may be introduced at will, and the delicate leaves may be stitched
in fine black silk, and the flowers embroidered in white, with the stamens in
black silk.
134.--Basket
Embroidered in Chenille.
Materials: A basket of fine wicker-work; 1 skein of black
chenille, and 3 of blue chenille.
This small round basket measures seven inches across; it
has a cover and two handles. The wicker is very delicately plaited, and is
ornamented with a pattern in chenille which is very easy to work. Upon the
cover, work in point Russe one large star in blue chenille, with the centre and
outer circle in black. All round, work small stars in blue chenille, with a
black stitch in the centre. The position of these stars is shown in our
illustration. The basket requires no mounting; it is not even lined.
