For this needle-book you will need the following materials: One-eighth
of a yard of crimson or green velvet, one-eighth of a yard of lining
silk to match, one-eighth of a yard of fine white flannel, two skeins
of white silk floss, a bit of Bristol-board, and a half yard of narrow
ribbon.
Cut in the Bristol-board a couple of leaf-shaped pieces like the
illustration. Cover each with the velvet, turning in the edges neatly,
line with the silk, and button-hole both together all round with white
floss. Stitch the veins in the leaves with the floss, held tightly, so
as to depress the lines a little. Cut three leaves of flannel in the
same shape, button-hole the edges, lay them between the leaves, and
fasten all together at top with a bow of ribbon. A tiny loop and
button should be attached to the point to hold the needle-book
together.
