Cross Stich

SOLDRed and Black Huswife

A huswife originated as a cloth sewing kit used by soldiers during the civil war. It usually held things like thread, needles, extra cloth, and thimbles. I’ve always loved the colors red and black together so of course when I saw this gorgeous red fabric I had to use it to create my huswife. In this huswife you’ll find a small pocket, bone rings to hold your floss, a wool snippet to hold your pins and needles, a few silver charms, and a reproduction post card. I also used some vintage trim and a black bone ring for the closure. It is approximately 13.5” x 6”. Kindly asking $95.00 and $10.00 for travel fare.

SOLDAutumn Ditty Bag

I’ve said so many times how much I really enjoy making ditty bags and this time was no exception! This one was stitched using a snippet of a pattern by Blackbird Designs. I used linen by Dixie Sampler and several different fall prints from my stash. As with most hand-dyed linens there can be mottling and uneven lines in the linen. This linen has dye lines going through the middle of the bag making it even more primitive. I added a sunflower charm, crow charm, and a couple of died bones rings. The bag is approximately 6.5” x 5” and the straps add an additional 16” to the length. Kindly asking $48.00 and $10.00 for travel fare.

To the top, I added a silver eagle with red, white, and blue buttons, three black straight pins, and two glass-head pins. I stitched three tiny beads to the center of each flower.

I added a contrast ric-rac around the top edge. Kindly asking $85.00 and $15.00 for travel fare.

I added extra padding so it can hang nicely or fold. There is an antique bone ring firmly stitched to the top for hanging and a strip of wool that is stitched down the center for your pins and needles. I included a bronze charm, antique glass button, and a few glass head pins. Kindly asking $78.00 and $7.50 for travel fare.
