Friday Finish - Mini Hussif

According to Sharon B (Pintangle blog): "A hussif or huswif is an 18th-century term for a basic sewing kit.  If you look up the word Hussif, you will see it described as an alternative form of ‘housewife’ which originally meant a sewing-case. "

I have my regular crazy quilt hussif, but decided I needed a smaller version for whatever little carry along project I have in my bag.  I bought a plain white potholder at Daiso (100 yen).

This is the finished version!

The opened up backside.

This is the opened up inside. The two triangle areas are for putting your fingers and thumb in to use it as a potholder.  I divided one side to make two smaller pockets and added a piece of felt to hold pins and needles.  One snap will hold it closed.

One part of the divided side is for scissors and I stitched a little ribbon to hold them in place. The other part could hold thread or other things I need.

The half behind the felt could hold a small project or other things I need when I am stitching on the go.

I'm pleased with how it turned out.  What do you think?
