The door fall, Fig. 52, is made on three fly buckram pasted together,
but one fly is cut off about an inch from the top to allow the fall
to hinge. The fall is made about 12 inches deep, the lower edge being
circular. The broad lace is bent to the required shape, and the
corners sewed and put on to the buckram, which is cut to the shape
intended for the fall. Mark where the inside edge of the lace comes
all round the buckram, then mark 1¼ inches from the mark; paste a
piece of carpet into the buckram to come within ½ inch from this
mark, which will make the edge of the carpet 1⅜ inches from the edge
of the lace; cover this carpet with a piece of cloth, pasting on the
buckram; take a piece of seaming lace, long enough to reach round
the fall, and sew a piece of cloth to it, for the purpose of forming
a wrinkled roll round three sides of the fall, inside the broad
lace and outside the sewed carpet, between both, with 1 inch fulness
to each 3 inches of length; sew this seaming lace and roll to the
buckram at the mark, 1¼ inches from the broad lace, gather the other
edge with a running string, and sew down and stuff lightly, finishing
in such a manner that the broad lace shall cover this sewed edge;
next, paste on the broad lace and cover the wrong side with silk or
muslin. When dry, stitch both edges.

Figs. 53 and 54 show two styles of trimming for a door. Fig. 53 is
made as follows:—Paste out three flies of buckram, and lay off for
block or biscuit pattern, leaving space enough all round for a broad
lace border, and at the top leave double the space. The top space
is formed into a plain cloth roll of the same goods as the job is
trimmed with.
In this case the trimming is brown cloth; the broad lace is silk and
worsted of a shade much lighter than the cloth. The diamond-shaped
and connecting figures are worsted and are raised.
The card-pocket is made of tin and covered with Turkey morocco the
colour of the trimming.
In Fig. 54 it will be noticed that the style is somewhat different
from the other; the surface of the door is trimmed plain, the fall
alone being stuffed. The fall is stuffed in diamond form and enclosed
with a lace border. This pocket runs up under the fall to the top,
and is there nailed.
The following remarks on lining and trimming are taken from
