Instructions

HOW TO WORK CARD DESIGN.

Mark the centre of one piece of Aida fabric lengthwise and widthwise

with a line of basting stitches. Centre is indicated by arrows which

should coincide with the basting stitches. Each background square on

Diagram represents one block of fabric or one Cross Stitch. The design

is worked throughout in Cross Stitch. It is important that the upper

half of all crosses lie in the same direction throughout. Commence the

design centrally and work embroidery following Diagram, Key to

Diagram and Stitch Diagram. On completion of embroidery press

lightly on wrong side.

CROSS STITCH

Bring the thread through at the lower right hand side, insert the needle

1 block up and 1 block to the left and bring out 1 block down, thus

forming a half cross, continue in this way to the end of the row.

Complete the upper half of the cross as shown. Cross Stitch may be

worked either from right to left or left to right but it is important that

the upper half of all crossed should lie in the same direction.

MAKE UP

trim fabric and place embroidered piece in card and stick firmly into

position, making sure the embroidery is centred in aperture. Fold

back flap which conceals the reverse of the embroidery and stick firmly

into position.

TO MAKE BAG

Follow the embroidery instructions as given for card on to the second

piece of Aida fabric. Trim fabric to within 1.5 cm of embroidery, 1 cm

has been allowed for the edge neatenings. Turn in 1 cm all round and

tack the raw edges to the back. Pin to one piece of organdie fabric,

making sure the design is central widthwise but more to the lower

edge lengthwise and stitch neatly into position. This article requires

French seams, enabling the raw edges to be enclosed neatly. Place

both pieces or organdie fabric together with wrong sides facing, tack

and sew seam around three sides, 0.5 cm from the edge thus

constructing a bag. Turn bag through to the wrong side and press. At

about 1 cm from edge, a second row of stitching must be sewn to finish

the seam, taking care not to allow the threads of the turning to

protrude through. Turn through to right side and press. Turn top

edge of bag over twice and neatly slip stitch. Add your choice of

contents and tie up with ribbon, adding the cinnamon stick for a

finishing touch.
