Directions
Take a yard of black satin, double it and cut it in the shape of a half moon. About an inch from the edge have stamped for working, a nar- row half wreath of pansies or other small flowers, and in the center a bunch of the same flowers. Cut four pieces of cloth or thick flannel the same size as the satin ; sew two pieces across the bottom or straight edges and lay wadding between these pieces of flannel until about two inches thick ; then sew the circular edges together ; fix the other pieces of flannel in the same way; line these half-moon cushions with some pretty satin or silk and sew the circular edges together. It forms a sort of wadded cap or helmet, over which the embroidered black satin, being sewed in the same manner, is slipped and finished with cord, with loops at the top to raise it up by. These are very pretty made of cloth and braided, and are slipped over the tea-pot to keep the tea warm.
A pretty one is made of white dice canvas, which is canvas woven in squares like a checker-board. On each of these squares is a figure of fruit or flowers in crewel embroidery. On one square is a bunch of cherries, on another a bunch of grapes, another a pansy, another a but- tercup, and so on till each square is filled.
A very pretty one is made by dividing a square of strainer cloth into two parts, inclosing the upper with bands of garnet velvet stitched with orange, working a flower pattern upon it and laying a band of orange silk across the lower half and putting a bright little Japanese faa across the upper half. This looks like a Japanese banner.

New and handsome ones are of coarse linen ; fringe the ends and over-cast. Work a design down the center with crewels and filling floss. Put satin ribbon on each edge an inch and a half wide. It is prettier feather-stitched on in a contrasting color.
