Make a Housewife
A Regency era lady often carried a small fabric sewing kit called a housewife or hussif. This portable kit is just the thing to slip into your reticule in case you need to make an emergency repair! You will be provided with pre-cut pieces to assemble, along with some sewing notions to add to ones you already have.
