I was excited to come home to this particular box waiting for me.
Flipping through after the video, page 37 stopped me in my tracks, mouth wide open. I look forward to spending a lot of time with this book when work isn’t so busy.
Dawn Cook Ronningen’s Sewing Rolls, Needle Rolls and Huswifs: 150 Year’s of History and Tradition is available directly from the author in her Etsy shop.


If you are interested in making your own sewing case, I selfishly recommend my own Fanciful Utility: Victorian Sewing Cases and Needle-books available directly through the publisher, ESC Publishing.
My copy came yesterday! So exciting! When I saw that page 37 straw+fabric pincushion my first thought was – “Anna needs to see this!!!” and maybe to make it?
