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 on period examples.
If you have any specific fabrics you do or do not want included, please note the fabric name in your notes upon checking out. Unfortunately, due to the nature of these upcycled kits, I cannot guarantee any particular backing fabrics but I will do my best with the pocket pieces!
These special Winter 2022 kits come with:
- Instructions
- Pre-cut fabric
- Petersham binding
- Silk ribbon ties
- Thread
