my stitching
all homespun fabrics on the inside
bottom is pin cushion stuffed with feathers from a feather tick
blue and brown coverlet is a pocket
the blue checks has the threads still attached from the warp
the binding is strips of red wool (new) as is the tape for closing
this has been one of my sewing projects this past month

Were there a variety of housewife patterns? Was the making/design a personal thing?
Regards.
Some were much longer. The design changed by the time of the Civil War. The size of this one was determined by the green fabric. Also, I wanted all the interior fabric to be homespun pieces.
Ah, that delicious green! Happy to see it in use, and glad you have done some sewing. What else have you made for CLA?
