More Sewing Cases

Here are a couple more sewing cases.

I am particularly fond of this fold-over case style. It has lots of room to store needles, thread spools, thread winders, scissors or what have you. The exterior is a black felted wool. The interior is a silk with a cone motif on a damask weave. The pocket is a twill weave golden silk. The whole case is bound with black silk taffeta ribbon. The trio of wool pages will hold plenty of needles.

When I saw this fabric, I knew it had to be a sewing case. Or, in this instance a pair of sewing cases. I would love to see this pair say as a pair possibly for a husband and wife, a pair of brothers or a father and son. Each rolled case is handsewn. The pinked needle-pages are off white wool. The button placement with button loop allows the case to be filled and still closed.

    Very lovely, Anna! And it’s so nice to know that you can make these without leather, since I’ve had issues sewing with that in the past. 😉

    I have images of cases with silk and wool exteriors. The leather gives me trouble at times as well. I find it easier to pre-drill the holes with an unthreaded machine needle.

    The prices vary depending on how long the handsewing takes and the materials. The top one just found a new home earlier today. I have more in my Etsy store – http://www.etsy.com/people/AnnaWordenBauersmith?ref=si_pr I just finished more this weekend which I will be putting up more either tonight or in the morning.
