An
excerpt:
"Now this useful little bag is finished, and they
sell well at bazaars, and look very nice on Christmas tree, and come in for the
brand tubs (sp) often seen at bazaars. Any odd pieces of wool can be used up by
making alternate rows of colour, or one side one colour and the other another,
according to the taste of the worker."
This
item is a great resource for those who are Victorian, Dickens and
Edwardian historical reenactment enthusiasts, theatre costumers, students of
historical clothing, fiber and textile arts, etc!
Imagine what a
marvelously unique accessory this could be for shopping, out-of-doors activities, clubbing
dates, the office, etc!
The ladies of
earlier times put their hands to such marvelous work and now you can too! This
is a beautiful item and sure to delight you and yours! The instructions are
very clear and easy to follow and yet the experience needle worker will be
capable of altering as per individual needs and artistic whim.
The antique and
vintage yarns, buttons, hooks, etc., can be found on eBay
quite readily. You just have to hunt a little bit! :) Or, of course, you can
utilize contemporary tools and materials found at a nearby fabric, craft or
hobby store…
