NOTES:

1. Unlike all the examples studied so far, this bag is constructed such that the embroidery stitching runs horizontally instead of vertically. There is no obvious reason for this.

2. All the colors are faded somewhat, and would have been brighter originally.

3. The bag this pattern is taken from is 5" by 5 1/2", sąuare bottomed, and lined with dark red silk. The fold is at the bottom with the sides stitched up. It closes with a double drawstring.

4. As in some of the other items on display in the V&A, the phrase "satin stitch" does not ref er to the common modern embroidery stitch, but to any stitch that covers the fabric completely and smoothly.
