For women who travel as well as those who stay at home there are many novelties in workbags and sewing cases shown in the shops that are not only attractive but practically useful. While the cost of items varies there is a wide range.
The text outlines simple home made accessory ideas using ribbon chintz silk or linen. Shoe bags with four pockets for two pairs, bound with ribbon, eyelets and brass hooks, plus a rolled travel case with pincushion, pin case and a robe de nuit envelope with white embroidery on heavy linen.
The article suggests making a Christmas gift of baby ribbon set in a nightdress case lined with sachet scented padding. It describes using a shallow pasteboard box sized for a ten yard ribbon roll, slit tops, wallpaper or silk covering, and gilt edging to finish the sides neatly.
Instructions describe removing wrapping, rewrapping the ribbon, threading both ends through lid slits so they extend about an inch outside the lid. Fastening ends through bodkins with parrow-strips on top of the lid secures them and adds convenience for the gift.
A vintage guide describes handmade gift items and small crafts using green linen, ribbon, and embroidery. It details beauty and utility items from framed mission photographs to wall hangings, ribbon cases, candle shades, workbags, name cards, and decorative booklets for holiday gifts.
A short list of fabric relates to a small linen daily including file embroidery silks sheet of cotton wadding ten cents worth of sachet powder and three yards of baby ribbon.
The text describes a craft item to hold a couple of bodkins and small scissors inside a cover. It mentions a ribbon covered glove case lined with perfumed cotton and a soft silkening finish. A pretty finish is achieved by turning back one corner and securing with a ribbon bow.
