This is a special edition kit made with fabrics from exceptional historic clothing & shoe creator, Nicole Rudolph.
Viewers of Nicole's YouTube channel may recognize many of these fabrics from her Historically Accurate Hocus Pocus series of videos.
Fabrics: In a palette suitable for any respectable forest witch, Nicole's kit comes with shimmery silks (figured, taffeta, & satin) which are all bound together with a mossy green* or black petersham and black silk ribbon.
Due to the nature of upcycled kits, the configuration of your pieces may vary, but all kits will contain the same fabrics.

In the 18th century, the item called a housewife (“hussif”) is one that had multiple uses. It could be a container for small personal items, a wallet, a sewing kit, or a combination of these. This housewife kit is a simple design based off period examples. It has been lovingly assembled in two versions, both containing everything you need to make your own.
