Colonial Fashions III: "Housewife" Sewing Kit Class
2025-11-01 09:00 - 12:00 | Hart Square Village, 5055 Hope Road, Vale, NC, 28168, United States
Join us in this beginner-friendly sewing class as we make historically-inspired sewing kits. All materials will be provided to make a 3-pocket “housewife,” complete with wooden string bobbins, a needle keeper, and button closure.
Historically, hand-sewing was a skill of necessity. In the mid-18th century, everyone knew how to do basic mending and repairs. Most people carried emergency tools and materials in what was known as a “housewife,” or “hussif.” These sewing kits varied immensely, from a highly decorated version a woman might keep in her tie-in pocket, to the simple and sturdy soldier’s kit that became general issue during the Civil War, with many variations in between. “Housewives” remained popular well into the 20th century.
Basic sewing knowledge will be helpful, but no hand-sewing will be required. Two sewing machines will be available to share; feel free to bring your own. For experienced sewists wanting a more historically-accurate look, hand-sewing guidance will be provided. Vintage-looking snips of the perfect size will be available for purchase for $5.
