A short Work Department item from Godey's Lady's Book describing how to make a box for holding tatting. The box is made of cardboard, lined with quilted silk and covered with Java canvas, then decorated with three strips of red cloth or satin. The strips carry gold silk braid, herringbone stitch in blue, and embroidery, and are finished with tassels. Two engravings show the finished box and a detail of the braid.
