fashion should totally bring the 'hussif' back, i can see a lot of practical applications for it in the modern day. hell, you can probably find something similar like it nowadays.

As a seamstress, this is absolutely amazing and I will be making myself one. So, cute too.

I had a small housewife when I was a Civil War reenactor. I used it to repair my uniform. My sergeant had one and used it to add a pocket to our Captain’s new vest! All while sitting on the ground by a small campfire!

That's so convenient and way cuter than the little plastic travel sewing kits we have now

man I NEED THIS been learning how to sew lately for cosplay and BOI HOW MANY TIMES I NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS

This is the perfect accessory for any cosplayer!

Your enthusiasm for antique fashion is so enjoyable and your skill in recreating the clothing of the 18th-early 20th century is stunning.

I appreciate things made in the past. People took the time to make things beautiful, even simple inexpensive little items had touches of beauty. Your item is gorgeous. Enjoy! ❤

Oh my goodness my great grandmother had one of these she got from her mother! That just brought back so many memories 🥰

The time i realized i needed one of these at fashion shows and the club

Oh, my grandma gave me a blue and silver and red one that her grandma gave her, or something, I don't remeber the whole story but it had been in the family for a long time. We've moved three times since then, so I've kinda lost track of it, but I remember thinking it was so cool while also having almost no idea what to do with it or what it was for. Glad I know now, and I wonder where it got too 🤔

Off topic, you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. The color is gorgeous!

As a quilter and doll maker, I’m planning how to make one right now! How adorable and useful! ❤

Welp I know what my next sewing project is going to be

my mom has it. she and my father each had one from their time in the military. we called it our sewing kit. ive got dads now. both were made with army green cotton canvas and twill tape.

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT I NEEDED SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR TRAVELING!!

After years of seeing my sewing back button everytime I went back to my parents home, they gift me a small sewing essential kit. It so useful

Again, I love the wallpaper. You have excellent taste, so it's to be expected.

I inherited a wood sewing basket instead, it has lots of shallow drawer layers and unlike fabric is resistant to dogs or toddlers getting into it

Making these was one of my first sewing projects when I was starting out :) I made several for all family members and I live these so much I didn’t know how historic they were so thank you :)

Omg that’s beautiful Also i should make one, i only have one of those cheap plastic sewing kits (i left a bad relationship and left all my crafting supplies behind so i had to get some new stuff so i could continue after moving back home to my parents

I am def making myself one, how cute and convenient for travel!

*Grabs a Hussif for my crocheting* MINE! MINE!!! MINE!!! MINE!!!! MINE!

I love all the stuff from the turn-of-the-century I love England I am from the Hawaiian Islands I was raised in Sacramento but I watch everything that's British and the movies and things that I watch I usually find more interesting if they're turning the century or earlier love the outfits and dresses I love that I've been learning what things are called from you and thank you very much❤ much love from this Hawaiian Grandma tutu from Sacramento California

Being a Revolutionary War reenactor I've carried one for 40+ years in my haversack. A must have bit of kit, believe me!

I always carry one in my bag. I've been on this planet through eight different decades and it has never failed me 😊 I just always called it my kit, I had no idea that's what others called it.

An essential travelling companion!

Never knew what it was called. My great grandma, born in Mississippi in 1914, always had one when I was a kid/teen. She passed in 2003 when I was 19. I have a near identical similar device right now that I use regularly for mending - but it's store bought and made of plastic and zippers. Never knew or even thought about what it was called. This brought back memories of my great grandma's, hers was quilted. ♥

I have a roll up pouch with a tie string and instinctively put my sewing stuff in there.. I grew up in china where we put sewing supplies in a tin. This makes me happy!

Oh wow! That wallpaper! Seriously, I posted it to FB year ago, same color. Saw it as a memory today, looked it up again and saved it to where I am coming up with ideas for an area of my home. Weird. I went from not seeing it for years to seeing it several times in the same day!

I didn't have one of these, but back in the day when my friends and I hung out at our local, my purse served a similar purpose. I always carried a small sewing kit, band-aids, acetaminophen, hair pins and elastic bands, and knowing me, probably more. I've helped both men and women who need to sew a button on, women with cramps, and people with minor cuts. While I definitely liked/like to help others, this habit was completely born of my anxiety, I needed to make sure that I was as prepared for anything that might come up with me during the evening. Others benefited from my need to cover my bases, lol.

When I was longhaul trucking I always had a small housewife kit in the truck to sew my britches up, darn socks, and sew buttons on.

Love the wall paper too!

I have my great-grandpas old hussif that he used in WW2 to repair buttons and attach stuff on his military suit! Didn’t even know what it was called, that’s so cool

You & everything in this video are so beautiful !!!❤

Omg, they made us make one in our home economics class when I was a kid

I need to make myself one of these. Gotta be better than loose sewing supplies rattling around in my purse.

I dont go anywhere without a tiny sewing kit with tiny scissors and safety pins of varying sizes

Love the video AND Glenn Miller!

I love your lip color and the gloss

It looks like a fancy version of a marsma, a sami sewing bag. They are typically made of leather and/or felted wool and embellished with embroidery. Quite popular to make as they are fairly easy to make and you don’t really need a pattern just a bit creativity.

I really hope & pray, that this really catches on!..... Especially, with the morals from the past!............. WE REALLY NEED IT!...... Lol!

The housewife was a standard bit of the kit of a British soldier.

I have a mini tote bag with my sewing kits, thread rippers etc in it. Something don't change much

Видела подобные в музеях. Женщины раньше были мастерицами

I’M MAKING ONE OF THESE AS SOON AS I GET SOME NICE FABRIC

so that's what they're called! idk if they're common where I'm from but as a kid most adults I knew had one and I even got one as a birthday present one year. They're pretty useful for when you want to sew in your room and can't be bothered to lug the sewing box upstairs.

It was a required item in a soldier's kit in the past as well.

Omg, my grandma had something similar and I never knew it was called a house wife hahaha

So practicle, but still classy!

NO WAY, I have one of those. I never knew what it was, and while it’s probably a lot newer than 18th century, it definitely has some age to it. Royal blue with golden details. I think I got it from my grandma, or maybe my mom did and gave it to me, knowing I loved shiny fabrics and shiny details and small pouches, haha. If my memory serves me right it doesn’t have the sewing-specific pouches like this one has, unless they had been removed or modified, but the design is otherwise super similar. I remember being confused because I could only assume it was for makeup brushes or something, but what makeup pouch has tiny pockets that could in no way fit brushes or other casual makeup supplies other than perhaps lipstick and small containers? I have to search through my parents house and see if I can find it.

WE NEED THESE TODAY! I’ve had skirt hems give up on me during a date or, work day & taping your hem, isn’t that great

I love this.

Love the Sims 2 music, which was meant to be similar to the Glen Miller Orchestra.

I have to make one of these. I have silk but flimsy, not firm like taffeta. So.. off to the fabric stores for shopping 🛍️😅

Looks like I'll be making one for myself! 🤗

Love it! Do they make them now? We need to bring some little elegant things like that back.

I just love these and have been meaning to make one. ❤

I love this!

Love that wallpaper

That's so cute! Why aren't these still a thing?!!

Beautiful

I love your nails!

I need to figure out how to make a hussif for my art supplies.

I'm...we always just called them "sewing rolls" my nana made and hand embroidered hundreds because she was a gifted embroiderer who loved to make them as gifts. I never knew they had a real name!

Much better than those flimsy little plastic boxes!😀👍

I totally need one instead of the little kit I have lol

LOVE IT!!!

My portable sewing kit is inside an Altoid tin. It works great, but the hussif is definitely prettier

I got a artificial leather pouch that I hold all my sewing stuff in, hella useful 10/10 would recommend carrying sewing stuff at all times

I had no idea what these we called. My mother made these for myself and some friends. Not so elaborate but extremely similar and she had one for civil war reenactments.

Gotta be ready to fix stuff 😋

A notions bag!

Love it!

Viking reenactor here, I have one! Of course, mine is a roll of leather with similar attachments for the VERY same equipment! Wonder what they called it?? I don't like wearing my scissors/needle case hanging from my brooch; I'm far too active and well, clumsy. Delightful, thanks for sharing!!!

Men also would carry them! Especially when they were bachelors

I remember those!

Oh I need this! Are there patterns for these?

Hotels used to have a little sewing kit

I made a cosplay repair kit, and I had no idea it had 18th century ancestors lol!

In the army we referred to our sewing kit as a "wife"

ooh I love it sort of reminds me of a chatelaine

I want one someone start making them

Those were not just for women but men would carry them too. Given that going home if an article of clothing got a tear wasn't always possible, most people in certain cultures would have this or something like it. I've seen them with scraps of fabric for impromptu patching, I've seen them with little metal tubes to hold needles and pins, I've seen a really old one with little baby rotatory cutters that looked homemade. There are tons of ways to put a hussif together, so think about your needs and go from there if you're looking to make your own.

In the Australian army we still call the issued sewing kit a housewife.

Cute idea 💡..

oh my god my Mom has one (she doesn't carry it around tho), never knew it had a specific name!

i've seen these made modern, they're called needle books

I thought every one carried a emergency sewing kit.

I love you

They're even older than that. It was common to sew one before you were an adult. To show off your sewing skills.

I want that

I had one-

my gram had one of those! i didn't know what it was called

Hey I love your wallpaper, where did you find it?

I've seen them called huswif, but not a hussif. As a needleworker, they're a common item to have when stitching somewhere other than at home.

i want it now 😂 I'm embroiderer

❤❤❤❤❤❤

You. Can. Have. One. Hussif. Per. Hobby.

Ooooooh I never knew what that was called
