Hi Corrinne. Hussiffs as I know them by, we're made for soldiers to take with them during the war. It it was used to hold all things they might need to help them sew on buttons and mend socks etc. Some men did embroider with the threads they had. I made a few of these hussiffs as sewing kits. Very easy and I made my last one with stump work on which I gave. away. I'm certainly going to make another in this new way with collage fabrics. Might use my Aussie fabrics I've purchased while being here on holiday. . Cant wait to get home to start.
Thank you Corrine for your video. You sound so excited and ready to travel. Have a wonderful time ,I foresee so much laughter ahead. Your scarf came good in the end,just not as a scarf 😂 I love a good storage idea. Marion of Marions world has just made a Hussiff as a large needlebook. We all need something to store the varied needles and other notions that we use and I like that it is pretty as well. Great idea for securing your scissors. If there is a struggle for walnut shells lizzard litter works just as well and is so much cheaper.
Was a terrific workshop I flew from WA and loved it. Will definitely be back to Green Door once I retire. Luckily was a long weekend in WA so had travel days. Love what you are doing with the sewing roll.
You are so creative! I love watching you figure out how to make pretty things. Good you switched away from the scarf! This project is making you much happier.
Thanks corrine. Of all the things I made last year my jennifer pouch has been my most used and I agree the drawstring bag and a zippered section on the hussaf will be the ticket ..
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦. My father was a construction worker, usually out of town jobs, and had a simple ‘housewife’, little roll with basics, including mending yarns for the work socks. Long time ago.
People just don’t know how much they need these!! I made 5 one for me and for each kid at Christmas. Now want to make another one for daughters boyfriend❤
I’m going to Ballarat next weekend and intend to hit the op shops - please leave some treasures for me. 😢 Susanne’s local knowledge will bring invaluable for you. I will have to google.
Love your videos! Found you thru Roxy by Rachel and the trifold pouch. I’m looking forward to seeing your housewives. I was thinking about the one with the box - if the box was set towards the middle of your wrap then you could maybe roll up one side with your notions and tuck it into the box then attach a pincushion to the other end and roll it over the box to be the lid. Use a button and ribbon to close and you won’t be loosing any of your supplies. Do you think that is possibly?
Hi Corrine, when I heard Rachel give you the challenge I laughed and thought yep Corrine is going to blow our minds with her thoughts and you have definitely done that 😜. The history behind hussifs is amazing and don't you just love reading all about them. Have a wonderful time here in Ballarat and will be looking forward to seeing and hearing all about the retreat. Happy stitching ❤
Hi Corrine, I believe they are called ‘huswif’ sewing roll. I bought a pattern from Lisa Mattock her website but Lucello in Melbourne also sell her pattern. It was slow stitched and easy to follow. Have a great time creating this piece. cheers Anita 🧵🪡
I hope you were able to get a good sleep after this video. Have fun in Melbourne, Hi to Susannah. I totally agree with your decision in switching the scarf to another project since it won’t be useful/ practical for you. Have fun! Safe ✈️ flight. 🌷tess
At timeframe 12:59 you are showing your project that has a drawstring pouch in the center of it. The right and left sides of it with handles look like they could be a box. Without the handles and maybe without the zippers. Just one 1/2 of the bottom piece.
I have heard about these hussif's a while back, even scored a pattern for free but not yet made one. Agreed it was a rabbit hole of delight googling and youtubing yesterday.
The best lizards litter is the brand, Zilla!, sold in pet supply stores. Uniform bits of crushed walnut shells, and I've filled many handmade pincushions with it. Just be sure to fill your pincushion far away from your sewing machine, you don't want the litter to fall down into the sewing mechanism. Very tough stuff. It's also used in winter car tires to give grip while driving on icy roads.
Your enthusiasm and energy is contagious Corrine. Brilliant ideas. Enjoy your time in Ballarat.
Thank you! Will do!
So glad yr taking up the challenge😂🎉❤I’m thinking of using my father in laws old glasses case to hold scissors as a base to roll over,
clever idea!!🥰
I agree with you, where has this been, history and a new skill. Heard Rachel refer to you several times💕💕❤️🇨🇦
❤❤❤ Sweet, thanks for awesome ideas for my roll up. 😊😊

@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine I can't wait for the book 😍 keep up the good work x
Can’t wait to see it finished. Your circle on the end for the pin cushion could be a Suffolk puff maybe.
Ah not a bad idea!
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦. My father was a construction worker, usually out of town jobs, and had a simple ‘housewife’, little roll with basics, including mending yarns for the work socks. Long time ago.
It so interesting how many boys had one!
I would have done the same with the scarf, think you will get much more use with the hussiff . ❤
So true!
I couldn't wait for you to decide what you would do. ❤
Had a feeling thr scarfe would turn into something else. Lolol. Funny i kept feeling a roll of some sort. Lolol. Beautiful ❤❤
I knew you wouldn't sleep!! You will accomplish your mission for sure! Love the tapestry idea. TFS ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Fun, beautiful fabrics
People just don’t know how much they need these!! I made 5 one for me and for each kid at Christmas. Now want to make another one for daughters boyfriend❤
My Aunty made 4 at Christmas time for me my other aunty and a friend of her and one for her self. I use it all the time.

This one’s going to be unique - a ‘scarwif’. 😆

Yes.. this project has so many possibilities!
Wonderful ....can we wash this ....
Gently.. nothing a stitch or two can’t repair!

Great.. they are very cool..
There is a business in Victoria that sells Crushed shell different grades
Been ringing everywhere for walnut shells. Sold out 🤷🏼
Oh my goodness.. must be somewhere.
You can use lizzard litter,it is sterile and is so much cheaper. I use it all the time.
@@carolreid9755 ok. Thanks. I even rang a nut shop to see if they had shells 😊

I tried reaching out to get the pattern from Jennifer for the sewing pattern and have not had luck, any suggestions thanks
