Further to my previous post on Pocket Sewing
Kits and for those wanting to know more
about them, Sandy Woodyard has an excellent
book - Pocket Sewing Kits - Published in 2006
by Ohio Thimble Seekers.
It covers all sewing kits including those made
from - Brass, Wood, Enamel, Plastic, and
so much more. There are over 60 pages and
full of lots of great photos all in colour.
It is a great reference book - really worth
seeking out.

Hi. I am a reserch intern for Melb Museum. I am reserching a fantastic (and enormous) William Bartleet and Sons needle display c.1880's. I saw somewhere in one of your blog entries that you had some Bartleet needle books. Do you have digital records of any of these? I would also appreciate any other information about bartleet memorabilia you might have. My best email is jessicapiesse@hotmail.com, but you can also contact me on jpesse@museum.vic.gov.au . I would really appreciate your help! Many thanks- Jess
Hi Jessica! Lovely to hear from you!....if you email me personally (go to "view my complete profile" then click on email), I will be able to send you some photos of what I have. I haven't any written references on Bartleet as yet.
Hello! Thank you so much for a fantastic trip down memory lane! Your collection is inspiring. I remember working many of the kits you show, as a child. I am now strongly encouraged to locate what may be packed away in our families' memory boxes. Thank you for sharing, Roxanne, Georgia, USA
Thankyou for your comment, Roxanne! I do hope you are able to find your kits - and I hope they will inspire you to perhaps start collecting many more kits....they make a wonderful display because many of them are so novel!
