an inch and three-quarters across the shirt (see Fig. 44), bring the
strips of chamois through them and tie them once. String a large
Indian-red bead on each end and tie a knot to keep it from falling off.

Nothing could be easier to make than Indian leggings, and you can put as
much work or as little as you choose into the embroidery. Cut from two
small chamois skins two pieces in the shape shown in Fig. 49. They
should each be eight and three-quarters inches at the lower edge, twelve
inches at the top and twelve high. The design shown in Fig. 50 will be
simple and effective, and narrow bands like those in Fig. 51 may be
worked along the edge that laps over and across the bottom. Six strands
of chamois about eight inches long are brought through the leggings on
each side at an inch from the edge. These form the fastenings.
