Making a Victorian Etui - A Sticky Business!

We spoke about our Victorian Etui workshop a couple of weeks ago - and explained to you what on earth one actually is! (A really pretty, and very clever, folding sewing box!)

Well, now the workshop has taken place we thought we'd pop up a few photos of one of our favourite crafters, Jane, getting stuck into making hers! (There's almost as much glueing as sewing involved in this project!)

Learn to Make a Victorian Etui

First of all, what on earth is a Victorian Etui? Well it's a clever little sewing box that takes up little space, but pop off its lid and it unfolds like a flower to reveal places to keep all of your crafty essentials.

Let's keep this historic sewing box design alive! Come along to our class on Saturday 11th May and make your own - full details on our website here, and remember booking is essential for all workshops to make sure we have enough cake!!
