Daisy Hussif

A hussif, or huswif, is an eighteenth-century term that refers to a small roll containing essential sewing supplies.

Both names are variant forms of housewife and acknowledge the range of implements she would use daily in keeping house.

This charming example contains a pincushion, needle minder and scissor fob and is stitched onto natural linen with navy blue thread.

Small in size, it is designed to tuck into a pocket or workbox where it stays until needed to make important repairs or to steal a moment for some quiet stitching.
