The "18th Century Housewife" pattern will help you create a popular accessory used by men and women alike. The “housewife”, or “hussif”, is a miniature sewing kit with pockets and space for scissors, buttons, pins, etc. They often were handy for storing other small items the owner needed to stow away safely. The housewife was first seen in the 18th century and remained popular well into the 20th century. This pattern includes three pockets as well as a square of felt for storing pins. It is a perfect accessory to use up the beautiful scraps of fabric you may have left over from your historical clothing projects. You can make this as simple or decorated as you like, as women often embellished them beautifully with elaborate embroidery
