Huswif
I am inspired for years by a little picture in the book: The Amish Quilt by Eve Wheatcroft Granick. (If you like Amish quilts I highly recommend this book!) At that picture are a few Huswif's, an antique sewing case. While searching for inspiration I came along the picture and thought it was time to make one myself. You can also find huswif's in this book: Pockets and Rollups for my red cape by Edith C.O'Neill. They are made by left over fabrics and so useful.

Hi Lucy~
Thank you for your comment on my blog. This is a delightful rollup. I too have Edyth's book and do love it. Happy stitching!
That is sweet, the top part looks like a doily?
What a lovely creation to have made, Lucy! Now I have to look for that book......
Very nice Lucy, your students will be happy !
I love this huswif and will have to find that book. I made one from Civil War book. The wife would give a mending kit to her soldier to mend his uniform on the battlefield using familiar fabric for him to have a piece of home.
Soooo sweet. I love the fabrics you used for this little gem.
Oh how wonderful that huswif is!
Very pretty! I especially like the bottom gathered pocket! I like the way you used different fabrics. Great job!
The Amish use to come to our farm in upstate NY. The men would buy old horse drawn farm equipment from my father. The ladies would come inside and sit by the wood cookstove with their babies...
Great memories. Beautiful people. I remember no power lines going to their houses and so simple and pretty.
Lucy, I wish that I could attend your class! Your Huswif is so beautiful. I do too, love Huswif, have those books but never made one(yet). Maybe one day... :-)
I love your work. I've been following your blog and just love your selection of patterns and color sensibility.
Beautiful. I love it. Great choice of fabrics and colors. Wish I was close enough to take your class.
I love this little Huswif, can´t you make a pattern for sale? I´m living in Germany, it´s a bit far away to come to your class :o)

What a darling project! I can imagine it with a group of young girls who need to learn many basic steps of sewing before moving on to larger projects.
Then again ... I need to practice some of those basic steps myself!
Thanks for sharing your project.
Lucy ,
Its truly wonderful.I LUV the fabrics you chose.
I love your huswif! I have a pattern for one but it looks too small. How wide is yours? How long?
Yours look so vintage. I guess the fabric really makes a difference!
Thank you!
I want to be in your class!
Me ha encantado este costurerito.Felicidades por el blog.
I loved it. Congrats on the blog.
