A Dainty Gift From the Lace
Piece Rag
, Lingerie Section.
Odds and ends of lace accumulate in
almost every household. If these bits
of trimming have been saved one may
design many novel and handsome
Christmas gifts with them.
By means of a little planning a sofa
cushion similar to the one illustrated
here may be designed. Four triangular
pieces of heavy lace are cut out to
fit each side of the small square of
handkerchief linen in the center. This
lace is applied so that a larger square
will be the result. A strip of the linen
is run along each side of the lace
framed square, and a small block of
lace is fitted into each corner to
complete the third square effect. Around
this is run a wide insertion of heavy
lace, the cushion being finished with
a narrow lace frill.
