A Crescentshaped Pincushion.

To make this pretty pincushion, commence by following with a fine needle the line on one side of the figure with small casting sts. Then work down the other side until you come to where the first bar is to be placed. Take a st across, making a bar between the two lines (see Fig, 1). Now 1 st back.

Fasten these sts firmly. Take 1 more st across and fasten in the opposite side. You have nowabarof 3 threads. Turn your needle, and ho 1 d i n g the point between your finger and thumb, work with the blunt end over and over the threads of the bar until, with close, even sts, you reach the opposite side. Turn your needle again and continue basting around until the next bar is reached, when the process is repeated.
