split,
And continued from sun to sun.
As much depends on twisting,
The hairy part is left for you
To make sort of whisting.
Back to the scene from whence we came,
With our end in place to hasten,
Make a hole quite through the thread,
The point pass through and fasten.
No doubt you’ll think it strange
That needles are not used instead—
Some have tried the change.
They may be used with good effect,
In sewing through and through;
But when we use a crooked awl,
The bristle stands by true.
We thus have kept in view,
To find the middle is the thing
Now left for us to do.
Not very hard, but easy quite;
In the left hand even joints—
The right hand holding the other end,
This fills up all the points.
This time the clamps appear;
Between the knees they run their race,
And hold the upper dear.
The vamp and quarters as they were pasted,
Are seen now in their place;
The vamp extending above the clamps,
With the quarters easy to trace.
Begin to sew at extreme end;
Put left-hand bristle first in;
Across the vamp our sewing extend,
Two rows that may be seen.
The position is clearly seen
When we have this quarter stitched near the back,
Say half inch in between,
Pull through one thread and tie it tight,
On the inside to be left;
Begin to sew the other quarter,
Close at the vamp is right.
Another row up the front;
Sew to the top, ’twill be no sin,
But the doing of what is wont.
These rows, half an inch apart,
Will serve the present state,
Because now we have a splendid start,
And getting on first rate.
Then down the front on the other side,
To the vamp be sure to go;
Never allow your work to slide,
But take it out just so.
But it will be very soon;
This must never be forgot,
As it takes up part the room.
The out-sides together at the back are seen,
As we are about to sew
A little strip, put in between,
To make it stronger grow.
Down to the bottom we’ll sew the way,
Until it is complete;
Then trim the seam, and rub it well
With a bone found on the seat.
The linings are together;
This can be quite well arranged
By whipping down this leather.
Either whipping over and over, or through and through,
Just as the case may be;
Neither way is very new
As we may clearly see.
But we should do it, and rub down flat,
For now the time has come
When we have had
