One of the Facebook groups that I’m in is The French Dollhouse. A recent challenge for the group was to make a French sewing box so, of course, I turned to Google to see exactly what a French sewing box would look like. What came up was several antique French kits for children. They were intended as gifts and were completely captivating. The kits were loaded with a child sized sewing machine, a dolly to dress, tools and several bits of fabric, lace, trims and notions. I would have LOVED one of those when I was a kid. Who am I kidding? I would LOVE to have one now!
Anyway, this is my version of a miniature kit. I made everything myself except the tools and the sewing machine. It’s been so long since I’ve done anything with miniatures (about 20 years) so it was a challenge to get my fingers to do what I wanted. I did try to make the tools myself. THAT was a disaster! š Ah well, maybe next time.
This is awesome. Can you tell me the dimensions? I agree, Iād like one myself. !!!

Sure, it’s 1/2 x 2 x 3/8″ h. The little spools of thread are 1/16″ tall. Wrapping the floss neatly over those tiny bits of metal was crazy.

OMG. OMG. You are determined, precise, and persevering. I was already impressed and now I am even more, now that I see how small this little creation is.
