=Materials Required:= A piece of flowered silk or ribbon 8 inches long by 5 inches wide, A piece of plain-coloured silk 8 inches long by 5 1/2 inches wide, A piece of cotton wadding 7 1/2 inches long by 4 1/2 inches wide, 1/2 yard of ribbon 1/2 inch wide, the colour of the silk, A spool of sewing silk the same colour. The friend who travels will be glad to have a case in which to keep her pins. It is very simple to make. Cut from any pretty piece of silk or velvet a strip five inches wide by eight long, or a piece of five-inch flowered ribbon the same length will do even better. Another strip of thin silk--white or some colour that will look well with the first piece--should be cut the same size, if the flowered piece is of silk; if it is of ribbon, cut the lining silk half an inch wider. A piece of the cotton wadding that comes in sheets is cut half an inch smaller in length and width than the others. Half a yard of narrow ribbon to match the silk, and a spool of sewing silk will also be needed, and if you like you can give a still more festive touch to the case by filling it with fancy pins, those with pearl or gun-metal heads. [Illustration: FIG. 75] First baste the strip of cotton wadding on the lining silk through the centre, then turn quarter of an inch of the edge of the silk up over the wadding and baste it securely around all four sides. Now baste the flowered silk cover against the other side of the wadding, turning in all rough edges, and making sure that the edges of the lining and cover are quite even, one above the other. Sew them together over and over, as neatly as possible, with the coloured sewing silk, and stitch the ribbon at its centre to the middle of one end of the case to form strings (see Fig. 75). After it is filled with the pretty pins and rolled up, bring the ribbons around it and tie them in a dainty little bow. _A Case for Tape_ =Materials Required:= A piece of flowered or figured cotton 8 inches long by 4 1/2 inches wide, A piece of plain-coloured cotton the same size, 3/4 yard of 1/2-inch ribbon the colour of the cotton, A package of India tape, A bodkin, A spool of cotton. A case that is made in very much the same way as the one for pins is used for holding pieces of tape of various widths. It is something that almost any aunt would be delighted to have for her work basket. [Illustration: FIG. 76]
