LESSONS IN ®81aUacf)ian Cmijroibcrp WITH DESIGNS AND DETAILS OF STITCHES THE increasing demand for Wallachian em- broider}' has prompted us in compiling this lesson book on the subject. The simplicity and effectiveness of the work, together with its inexpensiveness and the ease with which it may be learned and accomplished even by amateur needle- workers, are the greatest factors in its [3 o p u 1 a r i t y . Wallachian em- broidery, w h i c h takes its name from the place of its origin, Walla- chia, was origi- nally done flat on rather coarse ma- terial with heavy thread of various colors, the designs being stiffly con- ventional. The present adapta- tions of this work show it in any material that can be embroidered, from heavy bur- lap of which pillow tops and table- covers are made to the sheer fab- rics for infants' wear, and, of course, the thread employed must correspond with the material on which the embroid- ery is done. Often the work is padded and raised and many new and graceful molifs introduced. The keynote of Wallachian embroidery, its prin- cipal characterizing feature, is the simple button- hole-stitch. This and one or two other simple stitches are all that is necessary for one to know to be able to do the embroidery, and by studying the details of stitches on this page the principles of the work are easily understood. In making the circles, first punch a hole in the Details of Wallachian Stitches centre and work the buttonhole-stitch from the centre out as illustrated. The hole may be large enough to show when the figure is complete, or it may fill up, but in either case it prevents the over- lapping of the stitches. The leaves are done with a slanting- stitch from the vein out- ward, always keep- ing the purl on the edge. In the oval leaves where the ends round, it is safer to punch a small hole at the end of the vein so that the threads will not overlap. It is not always necessary to have both sides of a fig- ure buttonholed, as is illustrated in the crescent which is introduced effec- tively in many designs. Stems are some- tinges in outline as shown here, some- times in satin- stitch (the familiar o V e r - a n d - o V e r stitch), or in chain- stitch, and if a narrow band too wide for outlining comes into the design it may be effectively carried out in the dovetail button- holing, which is shown in the lower right corner of the cut. The stitches of this detail are pur- posely made far apart so as to show the principle clearly, but in the real work they should lie close together and fill the space completely. To do it, buttonhole down one side, taking stitches nearly across the space and go back on the oppo- site side, taking stitches the same length and letting them interlace with the first. This solid effect is shown on page 13. Copyright, 190S, by The Priscilla Publishing Company. Trade-mark Reg. U. S. Patent Oftice All rights reserved Dress Accessories Lesson on Dress Accessories WALLACHIAN embroidery is particularly suitable for such dress accessories as may be of heavy linen, as those depicted on the opposite page. These are shown as if worked entirely in white, but the designs may as well be carried out in color, especially now when colors are being used so extensively. Every one who embroiders knows of the endur- ing qualities of the best grades of embroidery silk, and how that even the best must be laundered carefully, just as any delicate colored fabrics must be treated if they are to retain their brilliancy ; but not every one knows of the new mercerized em- b r o i d e r y cottons which are equ ally as satisfactory as silk, not only in their working qualities, but in the dura- bility of their colors. If the stranded cotton is em- ployed, the threads may be used sev- eral together or singly, ac- cording to the space to be filled In the latter case the effect is that of filo floss, and any delicately blended shaded effects may be obtained that are gotten with silks. With the heavier tinted cotton the bold effects that are often sought in Wallachian embroidery are quickly realized. The detail of the mntif on this page, which is almost full size, not only shows the stitchery very distinctly, but by the numbering the color scheme is indicated This particular section is taken from the coat set, and the colors suggested are three shades of green i indicates the lightest shade, 2 the middle, and 3 the darkest. As is readily under- stood, this scheme may be carried out in the hat and belts also, and the linen may be either white or tan with equally good results. An advantage in Detail of Collar No. 1302 Cotton. I =3348; 3347; 3= 3346 using these colors is that the soft greens harmonize with almost any color, and yet if green is not the desired shade, one is at liberty to make her own choice of silks or cottons. As for the work itself, the simple Wallachian stitches, as described on the first page, are used, the stems are in outline, and the edge in the ordin- ary buttonhole scallop worked closely and evenly. The work may be entirely flat or padded if desired, by first running threads around and around inside, then covering with the buttonhole-stitch. After the embroidery is finished, then comes the pleasure of making up the piece into a wearable article. The collar is put on a straight band, and to do this cut a strip of linen as long as the collar and two inches wide, hold the work so that the wrong side of the collar is next the worker, and let it be just the least bit fuller than the band. Take a seam not more than three-eighths of an inch and sew with short running stitches, then fold the band over, and whip down carefully. Treat the cuffs the same way, and the work is complete. After the hat is embroidered and cut out, a wire frame of the correct size is obtained and covered with French muslin, letting the edges of the brim be neatly finished. Line the brim with shirred wash blond or maline, letting the shirrings coincide with the wires of the frame, line the crown and put in a bandeau if desired. Slash thg brim so that it will fit over the crown of the frame, tack this and the embroidered crown in place, and finish with a large bow of ribbon or net. An edging of lace may finish the brim or crown. Silk. 1 - 311 ; 2 = 312; 3 = 312i'2 Two Wallachian Waists Lesson on Wallachian Waists EVEN shirt-waists are done in the popular Wallachian worlv, and these may be on the medium-weight linen which is commonly used for waists, on linen lawn, or on cotton lawn, and, as has been mentioned before, thread of a suitable size to match the material must be used. The motif as given, slightly reduced, shows the stitches used and the method of working the flowers. The petals are done as described on the first page, with a slanting buttonhole-stitch from the middle outward, taking care that the stitches are even and regular, filling the space closely. In the rounding petals it is better to make a small hole with the stiletto at the end of the mid-vein where so many threads congregate, and thus prevent their over- lapping, while in the pointed petals the vein is carried practically to the end, and this obvi- ates the necessity for a hole. The stems are in satin outline, the over- andover stitch, and the rings which come in the centre of the flowers are made as described on page I. The ribbon which is shown on the first waist is worked with the buttonholed edge on only one side, and this varies from one side to the other to simulate the turned effect. Waist No. 1306 is to be made up to fasten in the back, and the design is of such a width that a few yoke depth tucks may be added at each side next the sleeves, and thus give the desired fulness. The back may be tucked to suit the fancy of the wearer, the sleeves may be long or short and fin- ished with the band cuffs, while the collar is a curved stock to fasten at the back with fancy pins. A bit of ruching may be basted in the neck, or a narrow edging of Valenciennes lace may finish both collar and cuffs. Waist No. 1307 is intended to be made after the regulation shirt-waist style, closing under a box plait in front, and in this case, also, the design allows for tucks next the armhole. The sleeves would preferably be long and the cuffs fastened with link buttons. The collar is a straight turn- down affair, to be lined, mounted on a foundation like our brothers' collars, and worn with a bow or tie. As is seen from the illustration, this pattern may be used on a waist that opens in the back by simply stamping the two parts close enough together in the front, or by introducing a strip of insertion down the middle of the front. Another adaptation of these designs is to carry them out in shadow embroidery, either in white or colors, for they are as suitable for shadow as for Wallachian work, only in this case, of course, they must be on thin material. As there was no room at the beginning of the book for a description of the suit shown on the inside front cover, per- haps a few words would not be amiss in connec- tion with the waists just discussed. This is quite an un- usual design for Wal- lachian embroidery, as it consists simply of grapes and tendrils. The grapes are circles of several sizes arranged in clusters and worked in the usual way, with or without the small hole in the middle. The tendrils and stems are in outline, and at each place where these branch out a series of dots appear and these are worked in the flat satin-stitch. The suit may be of white, blue, tan, pink, or green linen, embroidered in the same color or white, or any one color may be used on white or tan. Another unusual feature of the suit is the em- broidery on the upper part of the sleeves, and while this necessitates more work, the difference in beauty to the waist more than compensates for all the extra time consumed. Unless one has tried it, she would hardly believe that such a design could be carried out in shadow embroidery, and yet this particular pattern has been successfully done on fine lawn in shadow-work with most satisfying results. Detail of Waists on page 4 Infants' Wear Lesson on Infants' Wear ALTHOUGH we have come to think of Wal- lachian work as being a bold embroidery on heavy materials, and to associate it more or less with houseliold linens, this beautiful form of needlework is not really confined to any one class of articles. If the correct designs and male- rials are used, it is as appropriate for the infant's dainty apparel as is the French or eyelet embroid- ery and may be much more quickly accomplished. The design on the cap, bib, and shoe consists of little wheels with circles for centres and an adapta- tion of the crescent described on the first page of stitches for spokes. The latter are worked with the buttonholing or purling on one side only, and all the edges of the garments are buttonholed in scallops, as illustrated, before being cut out. The unit given on this page is taken from the baby's pillow and shows in detail exactly how the stitches run and that the purl is on the outer edge of the curve throughout the design. Here the numbers indi- cate the colors to be used in either cotton or silk, i being the lighter and 2 the darker shade of pink sug- gested Besides this figure, the sprays on each side of the middle at the top and bottom are in the darker shade, while the long bands are in the lighter. These are buttonholed on both sides in the dovetail-stitch as explained on the first page. A soft shade of tan is used for working the slits through which the ribbon is run and for the scalloped edge. The back and front of the pillow are in one piece folded together and joined with a French seam. The ribbon, which matches the embroidery in color, extends through the back and front, lacing them together and holding the pillow proper in place. The pillow is of a size suitable for the baby's car- riage or cart, and being so simple in construction is easily made and easily laundered. As for the construction of the cap, after it is Detail of Baby's Cotton. 1 -3326; 2 = 335 embroidered, pressed, and cut out, the brim portion is sewed up at the back of the neck and then gath- ered to the circular crown. This joining may be made in one of several ways. The edges may be rolled and then joined with the lattice-stitch, or practically the same effect may be obtained as is here shown, by joining with a piece of seaming which comes for such purposes; or again, there may be a French seam, or the rough edges bound with a bias strip. The strings are hemstitched on the ends and narrowly hemmed on the sides and then fastened to the cap with a few stitches or pinned with tiny baby pins. The latter plan is perhaps more satisfac- tory, since the strings have to be laundered more fre- quently than the cap. A ruffling of lace around the cap adds greatly to its beauty and daintiness and makes it more becoming to the little wearer. No article in the infant's wardrobe is more appeal, ing and more suggestive of babyhood than the tiny shoes, and they are very simple and easy to make. After finishing the em- broidery, which is similar to that on the pillow, the siioe is sewed up in the back and joined to the sole wrong side out, then turned, and the shoe is complete. As in the case of the cap, there are several ways of joining the seams. Some workers buttonhole the edge all around, top and sole, cut out and whip together, some hem the edges and whip together, while others make French seams, and still others cover the seams with narrow strips of linen. Any one of these methods is good provided the shape of the shoe is retained and there is no hard seam to hurt the baby's foot. The bib hardly needs a word of explanation as it is so simple in construction, .\fter embroidering the design it is cut out and the neck hemmed by hand with a narrow hem. As may be seen at a glance, all of these patterns are suitable for shadow embroidery on sheer lawn. Pillow No. 1311 Silk. 1 =542; 2 = 543 Pillow and Towel Ends L esson on Pillow and Towel Ends apex. Care should be taken to have these points sharp and regular and to keep the stitches flat. The stems are shown in the detail as being in outline, but in the pillow where bold effects are desired, it is as well to have a heavier stem and this may be obtained by using the satin-stitch, or, as was suggested on the first page, the old fashioned but useful chain-stitch may be used with excel- lent results and this form of embroidery works in beautifully with the Wallachian. Among other embroidered household articles, the towel takes an important place and every housewife likes to have at least a few pretty ones to match the furnish- ings of the guest chamber, and now that colors are so much used it is per- fectly correct to have the towels embroid- ered in any color that the scheme of the room may call for. The two designs here given are simi- lar in that the same niotif is used and yet the treatments are quite different. The first.

A RATHER new and unusual effect is obtained by the use of Wallachian work as shown on the pillow and towel ends on the oppo- site page. Instead of the petals being widely separated they are bunched together, forming close flower figures, and the leaves and stems wind around in quite unconventional graceful lines. The detail shows that the three petals next the stem are complete while those above are partially hidden, giving the effect of one row being behind the other. To make this figure, begin with the petals on the outer row and work as far as the design is shown, let the next row overlap just enough to hide the looseends of the first threads and so con- tinue until the base of the flower is reached when the three lowest petals are worked in full. The leaves and stems are in two shades of light green and the flower itself shades from light yellow to orange, giving a glowing, sunshiny effect which is very pleas- ing on a pillow-top. The lightest shades come at the top and as indicated by the numbering, these Detail of Embroidery on page 8 Colton. 1=3348; 2 = 3347; 3 = 743; 4 = 742; 5 = 741 Silk. 1= 311; 2= 312; 3 = 647; 4=648; 5=649 Centrepiece and Scarf 10 Lesson on Centrepiece and Scarf FOR a while colored embroidery was practic- light towards the centre and shaded to dark next ally barred from table and household linen, the edge.

The detail, which is a portion of the pincushion cover, illustrates the method of applying the net. It is first basted over the pattern, and, as the design shows through, the Wallach- ian work is done over this, taking the stitches through both the net and linen. When this is finished, use sharp scissors and carefully cut the net from around the embroidery and the linen from beneath the net inside the figure. The leaf-like forms in the detail are worked with the slanting buttonhole-stitch, as described on page i, and the scalloped figures are similar to the circles, the only differ- ence being that the outer edges are scalloped. The detail illustration shows by the numbering the colors that mav be used on the pincushion if it is made of white linen, i and 2 in- dicate light shades of green and 3 a light pink.
