Description

hwf194- Here is a Reproduction Civil War era sewing kit, or rather, housewife as they may have been called during the War. Kit has three inside pockets for sewing items. This offering is for a Confederate or Union soldier. The housewife includes a "stork" head scissors, 3 small wooden sticks with about 2 yards of thread (brown, black & white or blue, black and white), bone, pewter, tin backed, and large button
(Your choice of CSA, plain brass, Block "I" or Block "A" or Federal Eagle)
, 3 sewing needles, 4 straight pins, 3 pieces  (jean cloth, gray wool or sky blue, dark blue and red) and several pieces of cotton fabric for use as patching material. The whole kit is rolled and bound by white cotton tape. If you have ever been at an event and lost a button or blown a seam, you know how important this seemingly simple item can be. Heck you can charge your comrades to fix their trousers, great for living history activity.

fabric, inside fabrics are 100% cotton as shown, Kit measures 11"L  X 7"W when unfolded, 2" in diameter when rolled up.
