SILKS AND BROCADES
Odd pieces of silk or brocade which are part of a discarded frock or not large enough to make one can be turned into all sorts of useful oddments, which simplify the process of packing and make the process of unpacking more decorative.
The larger pieces arc turned into shoe bags or a cover to throw over the garments that sit on a chair all night. The medium-sized pieces may bo lined with cotton wool and used as hags for the bottles that will not go into tho dressing case, or for those occasions when the dressing case is left behind. Tho small pieces will turn into a tiny work bag, complete with a matching needle case and scissors guard to hold the materials for emergency mending.
