SOLDBlue and Brown 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. Blues and browns were so common together during colonial times so I had to use them to create this 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 bronze charms, and a vintage button card. I also used some vintage trim and a brown 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.
