What a neat project! I carry a little emergency med kit with me everywhere. That would make a neat one. Just the basics. Some bandaids, tylonol, things like that.

I love this idea, no bulky heavy purse. Thank you Kandye. You are not ever boring❤️

just something funny for you. I have a friend who(, when we were younger ) had an old black cast iron Singer sewing machine. she called me up saying that the thread on the bottom was all bunched up. I told her the tension needed to be adjusted. I said dont do anything I'd be right over. A half hour later I got to her house and said where'd the machine? Her boyfriend smiled and pointed to the window. I looked out the second floor window and saw the machine all in pieces on the ground. I asked her why did she throw it out the window. She said that it ticked her off ( she said a word that starts with a P) I had to laugh, we all say we're gonna do it but we never do

These are so interesting. I have never heard of such a thing. Thank you for teaching us this and for the little housewife comment about Ron. You have a funny and quick wit.

What a pretty and very practical craft. I've carried a little sewing kit in my purse since I was a teenager (in the early 70s). My grandmother gave me a well-stocked, hand-sewn kit for my 'Hope Chest' when I turned 13. I just put it in my purse instead. Thanks, Kandye. I am definitely going to make 'Housewife Kits' for Christmas stocking stuffers this year!

We still used and carried these in Europe. This was back in the 80's when skills like sewing, cooking, gardening and house economics was still taught in school. Thanks for sharing this!!

Greetings from Montana, Kandye 😊👋❤ it was so nice hanging out with you this evening watching your video….those historical fabrics are so beautiful, I love the patterns and the colors. I also loved the fact that the men carried them as well! They would be perfect to travel with, easy to carry and to pack.Thank you so much for sharing these useful little tips! Sending blessings out to you and yours! 😊❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸 Looking forward to your next video! 😇😇😇

Kandye thank you for all of your cleaver crafts. The housewives have many uses and make lovely gifts.

My son in law should have one of these! He’s always needing a button sewed on!

Thanks Kandye,for a really interesting idea. I’d never heard of The Housewife before. They’ll make fabulous Christmas gifts for my daughters. There’s been so many times I d wanted to throw my machine across the room,they can be the most frustrating things.❤️❤️

How wonderful to see your smiling beautiful face and smile. I have missed you! Would you believe? I knew what a housewife was. I use to do American Civil War re-enacting. I laughed so hard at your closing statement. Bless you and keep on shining!

Ron is going to love that “housewife “ that you made.

I love little housewives! This is not the first video i've seen on the subject! They're so cute and customizable. Easy to make and great gifts!

The young ladies at my granddaughters school really liked the housewife I made for her to use in her sewing program . Next section they are going to make their own as their class projects.

I love sewing, so much so that I can knot up a bobbin in a blink of an eye, constantly picking knots out when hand sewing, and the only time I can’t create a knot is when I’m trying to candlewick! Go figure! So good to see you again, I’ve missed you.

Neat!! Not what I was expecting from the title 😊❤

I always threatened to throw my sewing machine out the window.😂 Instead, I just left the evil thing behind when I moved. I never could learn to sew well on a machine. I just went back to hand sewing everything. It’s much more relaxing. I think I might make me a housewife. That’ll come in handy at times 😁

Oh how fun Kandye. I've never heard of that before. It would also be handy when you go on vacation or travel for emergency repairs. So fun

Those are pretty handy!

I’m so glad your channel popped up on my feed today. I love huswifs. Looked at the one about your B&B - very cute. I’ll really enjoy all of them. I love history and all the wonderful old crafts. I was a New Englander, then Annapolis, MD, till we moved west. I sure miss all the history. Williamsburg is one of my favorite places in the world! Thanks for your work.

What a great bit of history. Thank you

I love housewives ❤❤ thank you so much for sharing this. The history is so interesting and your fabric choice so pretty. I love it when I see your videos “pop” up. I always know I’m in for a treat. Keep safe and well. Love Gail xx ❤❤

Kandy all videos are all enjoyable ❤ I really enjoyed this video , thank you so much for the lesson. Thank you, bought me yard and needle today because I want to learn crocheting 😂❤. Have a bless day every day and yes Jesus loves us 🙏 amen. Thanks for says that at the end, sometimes we need to hear kind loving words, cause there's not much out there. Love you kandy much love take care and family 🙌🫶🙋‍♀️

Glad you're back, Lady.

Our mom had the vintage Elna Automatic sewing machine (1960's?) in beige and brown with its own suitcase for storage and travelling. She made her 3 boys and herself so many things back then. After she passed we gave it to a friend so she could share her sewing skills with her grand daughters.

Hey Kandye! I'm sitting at home watching you while drinking a cup of the Bohea tea I got from your shop. I love that you are showing how to make these. They are lovely. I was thinking you could make a larger one to help store bigger things. Wouldn't that be neat? My aunt from Newfoundland quilts and is going to a retreat in Hamilton, MO Oct 1. I think I'll make her one of these to send to her. Maybe a bigger one to store her quilting squares for a quilt. That would be fun. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you are doing well. God bless! Big hug! ❤😊

Those are great. Awesome little gifts, thank you for sharing this

This video was a wonderful afternoon treat, Kandye! 🌞💯🏆💛 The Vicksburg fabric brought a tear to my eye. My 4th great uncle (Scottish immigrant) fought in the 5th IL Cavalry Co. K. during the Civil War. He is buried at Vicksburg. I'm getting really excited about September's Mystery Box; I bet I'm first in line! 😂🎉📦 Thank you for all you do, Kandye! You're wonderful and beautiful inside and out!! 💛🧡🌞🧡💛

Cute project! I like the thicker ribbon rather than the thin ones I've seen on some. I keep telling myself that someday when I have some extra money, I'm going to subscribe to that magazine, and Early American.

Love the tutorial, you explain everything so well, I enjoy all the history that comes with your crafts. I agree on the sewing machines, usually something with the tension somewhere, frustrating for sure. Great project, thank you!

I love this, Kandye! I also adore your choice of fabrics. The navy/brown is very pretty and I love the contrasting fabrics as well. Be blessed always! xoxo

I absolutely love this!! Thank you so much !! ❤

Learned something new today. Very cool.

Looks like fun and easy project. Thanks for the demo. I see many uses. To hold embroidery threads for a project. To hold earphone and charger for phone. To hold lots of things that fall to the bottom of my purse, ie, chap stick, glasses cleaner, peppermint, cough drops, emery board.

Thank you! We just went to Williamsburg last month and we loved it. I like to sew and have not done it in while so going to Williamsburg really inspired me to start sewing again. This looks like a good project to start off with. Thank you!

Thank you Kandye . God bless you always

Jesus loves you Kandye & I do too! The housewife is great. I could sew that by hand. I've given up trying to sew with a machine as I never get the tension right & I get a mess every time! My husband is quite good at sewing with a machine or by hand. He is a blessing! Have a wonderful blessed rest of your week. Looking forward to more videos when you get them out! God bless you 😊

Oh forgot to mention ,my grandma had one of these I thought it was amazing to carry buttons and needles in this cute pocket house wife holder 😅❤

Yes❤ please on the kits. I would probably take 4. Love the fabric Hope you are doing well.

Love the fabric! So neat. Thank you for sharing. God Bless!

I've made socks and a quilt for my husband, who works at a Civil War museum, but never a housewife. Now you have me questioning why not?

How interesting! Thank You Kandye!

So cute ❤

Brilliant clear instructions, thankyou

I had one of those! It was perfect, not sure where it went so this is wonderful ❤

Very cool & interesting! 👍💕

Great project!!!

G'day Kandye loved this, what a great idea for a travelling sewing kit or for your earrings etc. I'm so glad Jesus loves me🙏 Bless you from 🇦🇺

Real cute project. Thank you.❤😊❤

love it thank you Kandye💕💕

Love it.

What a neat idea!

So pretty❤❤

Missed you. Love this idea..

Interesting. Never heard of this item before, but I can see why and how handy it is.

A useful craft! Thank you!

What a cute little name for a handy little must have ❤

I love those fabrics, Kandye! I have the same machine that you have.

Thank you so much for showing us how to make them. I’d love to get a kit.

Cute. Would be great for a boo boo kit to, band aids, and stuff. Can you make a video on the cute felt flower broaches Justice was wearing the other day?

Great video 🤗

I laughed when you said your sewing machine ticked you off. Well I used to know someone who stabbed their sewing machine repeatedly 😳 needless to say I don't know them anymore 😬 I found an old "housewife" at the Op shop not long ago and it still has most of its bits in it 😊

Thanks!

Needs Velcro to secure the pockets so the buttons or change don’t fall out

I just subscribed because you reminded me that Jesus absolutely loves me and you and ALL of us that accept His gift!

Would love to purchase one of these kits! I apologize, I was watching while working, so I may have missed your mentioning if they will be available for purchase on your website?

Can you make a video on how to make those aprons?

That is adorable. I like these for my purse for an emergency sewing kit. I would love to make this. question? when these were made in colonel days did they put buttons on the pockets to close them, so things didn't fall out of the pockets? From your tutorial I wrote the directions out, but I will add battling in between for stability and I am thinking buttons on pockets or velcro, to hold in sewing notions in, as that is what I will use mine for. thank you so much for this tutorial

Great project. What is the edition of the magazine with those instructions? Sounds like a really interesting magazine. I have my father in law's housewife he was issued when he was drafted into the Army in 1941. It contains, replacement buttons, thread, pins and needles. The buttons and thread are all the uniform colors.

So cute! Jesus loves you too! ❤️

We love you too🥰🥰❤️❤️ You are such a true BLESSING!

Too bad you can’t find a lot of historical greens, green is my favorite color.

How would I go about getting that magazine.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus he loves you and I do too. I also love this craft. I always try to carry a sewing kit with me. It’s come in very handy. Either for repairs on garments, replacing a button on my husband’s shirt. Using the needle to get a sliver out of my hand or someone else’s. So many different ways! Thank you so much for sharing this. My machine and I have a love/hate relationship, lol. Tension is my enemy. And just for good measure. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus he loves you and I do too! ❤️🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

When you don't know what to say, just say Jesus.

Jesus loves you too.
