The preceding patterns are adapted for short purses or bags in any bright-coloured silk, with gold cord or passing; the bottoms may be square, with a fringe of gold beads as a finish. The border pattern is to be placed at the bottom, with the vandyke pattern above over the whole of the other part.

If worked for a purse, the silk must be fine; if for a bag, coarse netting silk; the gold cord or passing being of an equal size.
