The pupils should first make the pattern for the cap and then cut out
their material. The hem should be basted and stitched with the
hemming-stitch. The bias strip should be basted on and sewn with a
running-stitch. It will probably not be possible for the pupils to
complete the cap in one class period; but, if the material has been cut
out and the work started, they may be able to complete it at some other
time. The stitches are not new, and the work will serve as an excellent
test of the skill they have acquired in the course.
