A beginner's instruction manual for making torchon bobbin lace on a pillow, written for young women and girls' schools in India and printed in Lahore in 1904. The introduction covers the pillow, bobbins, winding, hanging the bobbins, the half-hitch and weaver's knot, and the half-stitch, cloth-stitch and torchon stitch. Twelve patterns follow (edgings and insertions with Vandykes, wheels, diamonds, stars, a Maltese cross and double rose-stitch), each with a photograph of the finished lace, a pricking diagram and hole-by-hole directions naming the pairs of bobbins to work.

Part II of a bobbin lace instruction manual by A. M. Sime, written for young women and girls' schools in India and published in Lahore in 1909. It gives step-by-step, pair-by-pair directions for eighteen worked torchon lace patterns (edgings, insertions, a beading, Medici and Cluny styles, point net and honeycomb grounds), each with a photograph of the lace and a pricking design grid. It also explains how to design lace from a pattern, how to work corners, and adds collections of narrow lace, wide lace and Italian edging patterns with designs.
