My son in law should have one of these! He’s always needing a button sewed on!
Well there you go! Make him one!
just something funny for you. I have a friend who(, when we were younger ) had an old black cast iron Singer sewing machine. she called me up saying that the thread on the bottom was all bunched up. I told her the tension needed to be adjusted. I said dont do anything I'd be right over. A half hour later I got to her house and said where'd the machine? Her boyfriend smiled and pointed to the window. I looked out the second floor window and saw the machine all in pieces on the ground. I asked her why did she throw it out the window. She said that it ticked her off ( she said a word that starts with a P) I had to laugh, we all say we're gonna do it but we never do
That's very funny! I say it about my computer too!
What a neat project! I carry a little emergency med kit with me everywhere. That would make a neat one. Just the basics. Some bandaids, tylonol, things like that.
What a great idea!
The young ladies at my granddaughters school really liked the housewife I made for her to use in her sewing program . Next section they are going to make their own as their class projects.
Wonderful!
Oh forgot to mention ,my grandma had one of these I thought it was amazing to carry buttons and needles in this cute pocket house wife holder 😅❤
That's awesome she had one!
I've made socks and a quilt for my husband, who works at a Civil War museum, but never a housewife. Now you have me questioning why not?
I think it's time!
Oh how fun Kandye. I've never heard of that before. It would also be handy when you go on vacation or travel for emergency repairs. So fun
And first aid kits!
Jesus loves you Kandye & I do too!
The housewife is great. I could sew that by hand. I've given up trying to sew with a machine as I never get the tension right & I get a mess every time!
My husband is quite good at sewing with a machine or by hand. He is a blessing!
Have a wonderful blessed rest of your week.
Looking forward to more videos when you get them out!
God bless you 😊
Thank you Glennda!
I always threatened to throw my sewing machine out the window.😂 Instead, I just left the evil thing behind when I moved. I never could learn to sew well on a machine. I just went back to hand sewing everything. It’s much more relaxing. I think I might make me a housewife. That’ll come in handy at times 😁
Yes, it will! Another lady is going to use hers for first aid!
Hey Kandye! I'm sitting at home watching you while drinking a cup of the Bohea tea I got from your shop. I love that you are showing how to make these. They are lovely. I was thinking you could make a larger one to help store bigger things. Wouldn't that be neat? My aunt from Newfoundland quilts and is going to a retreat in Hamilton, MO Oct 1. I think I'll make her one of these to send to her. Maybe a bigger one to store her quilting squares for a quilt. That would be fun. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you are doing well. God bless! Big hug! ❤😊
That's a great idea! They can be adapted for many uses!
We still used and carried these in Europe. This was back in the 80's when skills like sewing, cooking, gardening and house economics was still taught in school. Thanks for sharing this!!
Don't they teach these subjects anymore? 😮
You're very welcome! Maybe you could start the trend again!
@@cabincrafts2239 ha, I'm in the States now but I actually "teach" elementary kids how to mend socks, sew on buttons and reuse fabrics. They've started knitting last year also. Making a "housewife" will be on the list to make this year now! Thank you for the inspiration 🙏. God bless!! ❤️
@@chaotic_crafter no, unfortunately that all went out the window :( such important skills to have!!
@@dimpleza that's bloomin ridiculous. These are important life skills.
Kandy all videos are all enjoyable ❤ I really enjoyed this video , thank you so much for the lesson. Thank you, bought me yard and needle today because I want to learn crocheting 😂❤.
Have a bless day every day and yes Jesus loves us 🙏 amen. Thanks for says that at the end, sometimes we need to hear kind loving words, cause there's not much out there. Love you kandy much love take care and family 🙌🫶🙋♀️
Thank you Chelly!
I love this idea, no bulky heavy purse. Thank you Kandye. You are not ever boring❤️
Thank you!
Heres an idea...put a strap on it so it can be carried like a purse. Fun! 😊
I’m so glad your channel popped up on my feed today. I love huswifs. Looked at the one about your B&B - very cute. I’ll really enjoy all of them. I love history and all the wonderful old crafts. I was a New Englander, then Annapolis, MD, till we moved west. I sure miss all the history. Williamsburg is one of my favorite places in the world! Thanks for your work.
Thank you so much Tara!
Thank you Kandye . God bless you always
You are so welcome! Blessings to you too!
Those are pretty handy!
What a great bit of history. Thank you
You're very welcome!
How wonderful to see your smiling beautiful face and smile. I have missed you! Would you believe? I knew what a housewife was. I use to do American Civil War re-enacting. I laughed so hard at your closing statement. Bless you and keep on shining!
Thanks Meagan!
Kandye thank you for all of your cleaver crafts. The housewives have many uses and make lovely gifts.
You're welcome! Hope you make one!
Looks like fun and easy project. Thanks for the demo. I see many uses. To hold embroidery threads for a project. To hold earphone and charger for phone. To hold lots of things that fall to the bottom of my purse, ie, chap stick, glasses cleaner, peppermint, cough drops, emery board.
All very excellent ideas!
These are so interesting. I have never heard of such a thing. Thank you for teaching us this and for the little housewife comment about Ron. You have a funny and quick wit.
Thank you Carilyn! He'll get me back somehow I'm sure!
Cute project! I like the thicker ribbon rather than the thin ones I've seen on some. I keep telling myself that someday when I have some extra money, I'm going to subscribe to that magazine, and Early American.
The Trend and Tradition magazine is only $14 for 4 issues. www.history.org
Greetings from Montana, Kandye 😊👋❤ it was so nice hanging out with you this evening watching your video….those historical fabrics are so beautiful, I love the patterns and the colors. I also loved the fact that the men carried them as well! They would be perfect to travel with, easy to carry and to pack.Thank you so much for sharing these useful little tips! Sending blessings out to you and yours! 😊❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸 Looking forward to your next video! 😇😇😇
Thank you! Blessings right back to you!
Ron is going to love that “housewife “ that you made.
He keeps asking when he actually gets to keep it!
What a pretty and very practical craft. I've carried a little sewing kit in my purse since I was a teenager (in the early 70s). My grandmother gave me a well-stocked, hand-sewn kit for my 'Hope Chest' when I turned 13. I just put it in my purse instead.
Thanks, Kandye. I am definitely going to make 'Housewife Kits' for Christmas stocking stuffers this year!
Awesome! Have fun!
Love the tutorial, you explain everything so well, I enjoy all the history that comes with your crafts. I agree on the sewing machines, usually something with the tension somewhere, frustrating for sure. Great project, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Kandye,for a really interesting idea. I’d never heard of The Housewife before. They’ll make fabulous Christmas gifts for my daughters. There’s been so many times I d wanted to throw my machine across the room,they can be the most frustrating things.❤️❤️
Thank you Joanne! They will make awesome gifts!
Learned something new today. Very cool.
Glad you liked it!
Those are great. Awesome little gifts, thank you for sharing this
You are so welcome
I love sewing, so much so that I can knot up a bobbin in a blink of an eye, constantly picking knots out when hand sewing, and the only time I can’t create a knot is when I’m trying to candlewick! Go figure! So good to see you again, I’ve missed you.
Thank you Denise!
Neat!! Not what I was expecting from the title 😊❤
I know! Funny huh!?
@@cabincrafts2239 yes! I loved it when you said JESUS JESUS JESUS!! 😊
Glad you're back, Lady.
Thank you Gail!
Our mom had the vintage Elna Automatic sewing machine (1960's?) in beige and brown with its own suitcase for storage and travelling. She made her 3 boys and herself so many things back then. After she passed we gave it to a friend so she could share her sewing skills with her grand daughters.
Awesome! My Mom sewed a lot of our clothes too!
So cute ❤
Brilliant clear instructions, thankyou
You’re welcome 😊Thank you Jude!
Yes❤ please on the kits. I would probably take 4. Love the fabric Hope you are doing well.
They're on the website! In the notes section, specify blues, browns, or reds fabrics.
Cute. Would be great for a boo boo kit to, band aids, and stuff. Can you make a video on the cute felt flower broaches Justice was wearing the other day?
I sure can! Thanks!
G'day Kandye loved this, what a great idea for a travelling sewing kit or for your earrings etc. I'm so glad Jesus loves me🙏 Bless you from 🇦🇺
Thank you Susan!
I love little housewives! This is not the first video i've seen on the subject! They're so cute and customizable. Easy to make and great gifts!
Glad you like them!
I just subscribed because you reminded me that Jesus absolutely loves me and you and ALL of us that accept His gift!
Amen and thank you!
I love housewives ❤❤ thank you so much for sharing this. The history is so interesting and your fabric choice so pretty. I love it when I see your videos “pop” up. I always know I’m in for a treat. Keep safe and well. Love Gail xx ❤❤
Thank you Gail!
Thank you! We just went to Williamsburg last month and we loved it. I like to sew and have not done it in while so going to Williamsburg really inspired me to start sewing again. This looks like a good project to start off with. Thank you!
You're so welcome! The housewife pattern I use is from Williamsburg
What a cute little name for a handy little must have ❤
I agree!
Interesting. Never heard of this item before, but I can see why and how handy it is.
Thanks for watching!
Needs Velcro to secure the pockets so the buttons or change don’t fall out
Great idea!
This video was a wonderful afternoon treat, Kandye! 🌞💯🏆💛
The Vicksburg fabric brought a tear to my eye. My 4th great uncle (Scottish immigrant) fought in the 5th IL Cavalry Co. K. during the Civil War. He is buried at Vicksburg.
I'm getting really excited about September's Mystery Box; I bet I'm first in line! 😂🎉📦
Thank you for all you do, Kandye! You're wonderful and beautiful inside and out!! 💛🧡🌞🧡💛
Thank you! I appreciate your kindness every time I post a video!
What a neat idea!
😂 I didn't know Ron could sew. Lucky Justine!
He actually sews pretty well and has made some of his own historic clothes!
@@cabincrafts2239 , that's see awesome! Go Ron! 👏💪
Real cute project. Thank you.❤😊❤
You are so welcome!
I absolutely love this!! Thank you so much !! ❤
You're so welcome!
Yay!! I just ordered one! Can't wait to get it!! 🩷
@laurabourgeois3352 Awesome! Thank you Laura!
Very cool & interesting! 👍💕
Thank you!
Missed you. Love this idea..
Thank you Michele!
So pretty❤❤
Love the fabric! So neat. Thank you for sharing. God Bless!
Thank you Kathy!
Great project!!!
Thank you Jamie!
How interesting! Thank You Kandye!
You're welcome Aimee!
I love those fabrics, Kandye! I have the same machine that you have.
Thanks! It's a pretty good one, but all machines frustrate me one time or another!
@@cabincrafts2239 Yes, absolutely! 😊 I hope I will have more time to sew. I converted some jeans to shorts for my Dad this summer and just serged the raw edges with different colored thread. I also patched a denim vest for him. My normal projects are hemming my dress pants by hand, since I’m shorter than average.
That's awesome!
I laughed when you said your sewing machine ticked you off. Well I used to know someone who stabbed their sewing machine repeatedly 😳 needless to say I don't know them anymore 😬
I found an old "housewife" at the Op shop not long ago and it still has most of its bits in it 😊
Wow, how do you stab a sewing machine?! Seems dangerous!
@@cabincrafts2239 with a big knife and she was a nurse😳glad that I have nothing to do with that person now
Wow! Sounds like anger issues! Glad you're not around that anymore either!@@lianapalumbo8457
love it thank you Kandye💕💕
You're welcome Patty!
I had one of those! It was perfect, not sure where it went so this is wonderful ❤
Thanks! Now you can make another one!
I love this, Kandye! I also adore your choice of fabrics. The navy/brown is very pretty and I love the contrasting fabrics as well. Be blessed always! xoxo
Thank you! You too!
A useful craft! Thank you!
You are welcome 😊 Thanks for watching!
So cute! Jesus loves you too! ❤️
Thank you so much for showing us how to make them. I’d love to get a kit.
They're on the website www.scoshoppe.com, thank you for watching!
@@cabincrafts2239 can’t wait to get the one I just ordered.
@@darlenethompson9325 thank you Darlene! I'm working on it right now!
Darlene, you forgot to put which color group on your order for the housewife kit. Do you want browns, blues or reds?
@@cabincrafts2239 blues please.
Love it.
Too bad you can’t find a lot of historical greens, green is my favorite color.
Yes, they're all just not quite right for some reason! Still searching!
We love you too🥰🥰❤️❤️ You are such a true BLESSING!
Thank you!🥰
Thanks!
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video 🤗
Thank you 🤗
Can you make a video on how to make those aprons?
I'm trying to work on it! I was wanting Justine with me, but I don't think we'll be able to do it together because of their house building. I'll get to it as soon as I can. The pinner aprons we wear are a little complicated, there is no pattern!
@cabincrafts2239 thank you. I'm going to make the skirt and short gown you showed and I wondered if you'd do those cute aprons too. I'll look forward to when you do. 😊
Great project. What is the edition of the magazine with those instructions? Sounds like a really interesting magazine. I have my father in law's housewife he was issued when he was drafted into the Army in 1941. It contains, replacement buttons, thread, pins and needles. The buttons and thread are all the uniform colors.
It is an old edition of Colonial Williamsburg's trend and tradition. I sell kits and patterns on my website www.scoshoppe.com
That is adorable. I like these for my purse for an emergency sewing kit. I would love to make this. question? when these were made in colonel days did they put buttons on the pockets to close them, so things didn't fall out of the pockets? From your tutorial I wrote the directions out, but I will add battling in between for stability and I am thinking buttons on pockets or velcro, to hold in sewing notions in, as that is what I will use mine for. thank you so much for this tutorial
Please do!
@@cabincrafts2239 Be Blessed, you are loved and appreciated
@Wanda6308 thank you Wanda!
Would love to purchase one of these kits! I apologize, I was watching while working, so I may have missed your mentioning if they will be available for purchase on your website?
Yes! They're on there now, go to www.scoshoppe.com and be sure to put in the notes section whether you want blues, browns, or reds for the fabric.
Thank you so much!!
@@Grace-kh5hx you're welcome!
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus he loves you and I do too. I also love this craft. I always try to carry a sewing kit with me. It’s come in very handy. Either for repairs on garments, replacing a button on my husband’s shirt. Using the needle to get a sliver out of my hand or someone else’s. So many different ways! Thank you so much for sharing this. My machine and I have a love/hate relationship, lol. Tension is my enemy. And just for good measure. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus he loves you and I do too! ❤️🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Lol, thank you Kathy! God bless!
How would I go about getting that magazine.
The one I used is 6 years old, but go to www.history.org, that is the website for Colonial Williamsburg.I think you can purchase a subscription from there.
Or they used the contents to repair open wounds
Absolutely!
Yes Jesus loves all of us, whether you like it or not..❤❤❤
Lol, amen!
When you don't know what to say, just say Jesus.
Amen!
Jesus loves you too.
