Description
A gorgeous, richly coloured "huswif" or "housewife" in green, painted cotton with green and gold silk lining.
<br />
<br />A huswif or housewife is a portable sewing book designed to carry a few essential items. The name originates from when men, going to war, would take a "housewife" with them to allow them to darn their own socks, sew their own buttons, and take care of other little things.
<br />
<br />This huswif consists of multiple pockets to hold mini scissors, measuring tape, a seam ripper and a thimble, sheets of aida fabric for holding pins and needles and a gorgeous little pincushion.
<br />
<br />This is a truly wonderful little item, luxurious and an ideal gift for someone who enjoys sewing. Try pairing it with a pair of vintage sewing scissors and a silver thimble!
