I would like to direct your interest to the first completed housewife now available at the storefront. This Confederate Housewife was handsewn by Kathy and Ivis Bradford, using Kathy's techniques and patterns many of you will remember. You are looking at some historic finished results!

Details of the housewife reposted here:
Patterned after the original Confederate housewife located at the Museum of the Confederacy. Handstitched silk embroidered Second National, Bonnie Blue, and First National flag pockets. The removable needle case has a hidden pocket that may be stocked with all the necessary items, and used for long marches where every inch and ounce matter. Comes with hand sewn bag for protection. Free shipping in the U.S.A.
Once sold and shipped to its owner, 10% of proceeds of this housewife will go directly to the Fort Pulaski National Monument, located east of Savannah, GA. 2016-2017 brought natural disasters to Fort Pulaski, but despite the hurricane and tornado damage, and slow recovery, the site still remains a strong testimony of American history. By purchasing unique, carefully handstitched items from Preservation Parcels, you can also preserve history. "Stitch by stitch, acre by acre."
Materials:
wool (FHW and red flannel that was intended for a young lady's petticoat)
cotton
silk
canvas
silk thread (for all embroidery)
100% non-mercerized cotton thread (for all sewing)
cotton twill tape binding and ties
Stocked with
lump of raw beeswax wrapped in linen
hank of hemp cord
strike-anywhere matches stored in a round tin
glass and antique bone buttons stored in a handstitched poke sack
1/2 dozen needles
Variety of waxed thread on a roll piece of canvas winder
Marbled notebook, all hand created and sewn, unlined, cotton paper, sharpened pencil included
Stamps reproduced to send letters home
Also a surprise or two included, with my thanks and best wishes to you on your patriotic march through history.
