Description

An etui is a French term (pronounced é-twē) dating back to the early 17th century. It refers to a small ornamental case used for small articles, such as sewing needles. We will make a small portable case for carrying supplies for dorset buttons. Inspiration and ideas will abound for other types of weaving on the go.
