beautiful embroidery on it honestly these housewives i think they're pretty gorgeous i love that they use scraps but frequently they're so beautifully embroidered like this one you can see all the gorgeous stitching for the flowers and then you have these ones they have some pretty odd looking faces on them other ones just there's just so many and i really love them in truth historically speaking i imagine the actual host swifts themselves were probably made with whatever scraps they had on hand or whatever lace they did which is why some of them have just little bits of lace on them and that's why some of the fabrics seem a little mismatched to us now but it's just so cool that way that being said there are some records of some phenomenally expensive and beautiful housewives as well for instance luis basalgette who lived from NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN was the tailor of the very ridiculous prince regent turned king george iv himself and he records a housewife of his own to a striped silk housewife filled with colored silks threads needles and thimble for the pages now the pages were expected to perform running repairs to the royal wardrobe so they would have been using these quite frequently but what i'm seeing is that at heart they reflect the people who use them and were designed to be useful for that specific person who was making them so i do wonder what they put into different pockets and what they designed them for for instance for the life of me i have no idea what they put into these long pockets and what these numbers mean i have no idea but it's pretty cool and i that it's like just lost the time generally speaking in the past year or so making these have been all the rage in the historical community with people making them in all sorts of fabrics and prints and colors and designs and people also sell kits for them related to talim of one of my friends along with offering gorgeous jewelry sells some amazing housewife kits and i personally used her pattern and directions to make mine willoughby and rose sell some gorgeous kits inspired by the remnants of different historical costumers and also sell some beautiful ones inspired by different fandoms like star wars including this one which has a awesome like star wars wax you know since you need to wax your thread now for me of course i went directly to the embroidered variants because it's me for mine last year i made this grape one based on the embroidery that i'd had on my grape dress and i just thought it'd be a really cool housewife so this is what i stitched together and i um it's i use remnants from other gowns but this year i wanted something different and a new housewife since while this is great i found that some of these it just didn't work all that well it's not quite wide enough for all the different tools i want to put in it so i wanted to make it again now before i talk about designing and making my new housewife i'd like to take a moment to thank today's sponsor skillshare if you've watched anything by me before you'll know that i'm personally really into learning new things and considering myself a lifelong student skillshare is an online learning platform that has thousands of different classes that you can take these classes come in a myriad of different topics as varied from making pizza to how to draw faces and cartoons to animation to how to use
