. Fancy work for pleasure and profit. FIG. 198. with old blue filo floss in satin stitch with a center of yellow French knots. FANCY WORK BASKET. The basket shown here is eggshape. The best way in which to preparethe foundation is to cut an oblong circle out of heavy straw board, wet it DAINTY TRIFLES. 197. thoroughly in cold water and roll up in the form of an egg; leave an openingto the side from end to end; secure in position with a string. Let it becomequite dry, when it will retain its shape without trouble; prepare a lining ofsilk for the inside, which should be wadded lightly and quilted, fasten thisin the inside of the pre-pared shape. For theoutside cut a circle outof cream satin the sameshape as the foundation,stamp on it a cluster of j\pansies, work with wash ^filo floss in numbers 1300, 1301, 1302 with adash of 1260, 1264; forthe leaves and stems use fig. 199. numbers 1248, 1249, 1251. Stretch this cover over the shape, being carefulnot to leave any wrinkles; finish the opening with a frill of soft lace andornament each end with bows of ribbon in two shades of numbers 1300 and 1301. The effect of this little trifle depends upon the neatness with whichit is made. It should look light and dainty and not in the least useful, and,of course, is better adapted for fairs and bazaars
