Christmas Presents

I have been hard at work these last couple of weeks
making some gifts.


 I kept them under wraps until I had given them to my friends



These little sewing wraps are based on a "housewife".
That  was a little sewing kit my father had during the War
 for his mending and running repairs while he was in the Airforce.
Mine measure 3 3/4" x 11" (approximately) and are made from the remants of my quilts.

  1. this "housewife" is wonderful! such beautiful colors and textures.

    at the risk of killing the cat, i'm curious, what did your father's measure out to?
