    Default Two handsewn sewing kits (housewives) for sale

    Shown above are two completely handsewn sewing kits for sale. Top one is $35 shipped and the bottom is $22 shipped. The top one is made from a distinctive cotton/linen coverlet material and is fully embroidered in red silk thread around the edge of the outside binding, and the wool pin sleeve is bound in a red silk blanket stitch as many originals have - if you want something common to the period but not often seen in today's living history/reenacting circles, this is the one. The bottom one is a common design using Ben Tart jean and is a similiar style to the above, just more utilitarian looking. Everything is my usual completely handsewn work and will come fully stocked with glass head pins, needles, thread, and antique buttons (glass, bone, and Goodyear rubber buttons).
