I Ig. is tiow also sewed up and a ribbon fast-rii.il fast-rii.il to the upper oinl so that when the case or sachet is in use it may be rolled , up and tied around w ith this ribbon. ONE of tho most useful bits of fancy work which can bo mudo nt comparatively com-paratively little cost of time or money is a jewel sachet to hold one's trinkets when travelliug or making nh..rt nails, when a jewel box would be too cumbersome. Such a sachet may be made of any piece of ribbon nilk, satin or velvet that one rnuy happen to possess, and. of course, handsome brocades, wide strips of embroidery on silk, Ratin or velvet are not barred from ni for this case. The material ma-terial should be about three-quarters of a yord long and six inches wide. For the lining there should be a piece of chamois of tho same sire. Place tho eiln nnd chamois together and cut off pieces of each, one pii-ce of each two inches deep and two pieces of each three Inches deep. These aro to be used a flaps to cover the trinkets. Sew the silk and ihamois piece that is left together nt the bottom on one side and nt the top after rounding thi top edge to make a pretty finish. If you want to do your sewing on the machine ymi can do so by sewing the materials together on the wrong sid and then turning the strip Inside ont.

The side edg in still open between the chamois nnd the silk and through this cotton wo.. I a thin lafer Is stuffed Info n space about four inches deep. Ilefore stuffing in the wool, lrowever, it is rtei-ossary to run a line of stltcbintj aeros the strip of material mate-rial to tnskc a place for the cushion. In fact two lines of stitching should form the boundaries of the cushion. The first line of stitching placed about half nn inch a bo re tha pocket flap will hold tb cushion in placo when the sachet b folded. The other lino is placed four inchei sbovo the first. After the padding ha been placed lu this space the side clg is 6cwed up and tho flaps which wen cut from the strip nre sewed lo ih sides. These flaps are rounded on th. outer edge. They are meant to fold ore the cnshlon boforfl the sachet Is rolled up Half an Inch above the pin cushion hi rltra pii-ce of chamois the Maine wldtl as the strip snd four or five inches dec is sewed to the inside of the utrip to foru onother pocket.
