Pockets and a huswif

A few years ago I did some sewing for a Danish designer and shop owner Helene Juul. She has an affinity for the treasures of the past, and does wonderful work. She wanted to display ways to use reproduction fabrics, to entice her customers to make practical and beautiful items. I was honored to be able to help a little. She sent me lovely fabrics, and a booklet by Edyth O'Neill. Inspired by Mamifleur's recent lovelinesses, I show the samples I made then, a pocket and a huswif from Ms. O'Neill's booklet.


And the one I'm currently working on, for a friend, which is supposed to be a surprise... well well ...


Merci - amitié.

Oh, Isn't Evelyn the best? I really like your versions, too, Una! I have promised myself I will try making a huswif as well, my problem is that I cannot just keep it simple! :)
Your work is always so inspiring to me.
Thanks!

Så fine, Una:)
Er "huswif" et forkle?
Og, så nydelig du har brodert "Samsy"!
