This special edition "costumer spotlight" kit is compiled using remnants from the Iron Man, Lady Watson, & other costumes made by Noelle of Costuming_Drama.
Fabrics: Chocolate, tea, scarlet, and gold taffetas are accented with a historical cotton print and black wool needle flap. The pockets are encased within a deep red and black figured silk, bound with petersham ribbon, and finished with a silk ribbon. This kit's pockets are individually lined and bound as well.
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.
