The Chatelaine
Packed, Organized, Ready to Go
Inspired by the sewing chatelaines of the Victorian era, this modern interpretation keeps your most-used stitching tools beautifully organized and always within reach. Whether you're sewing at home, attending a retreat, or settling into your favorite chair, everything you need stays together and ready to use.
Each Chatelaine is individually hand quilted and finished with full-grain leather details. The front and back pockets hold everyday essentials like needles, thread, needle minders, emergency bandages, thread clippings, or other small notions. The removable retractable tape measure detaches when needed and stores neatly when you're finished.
Every Chatelaine comes ready to stitch with carefully selected tools and handcrafted leather accessories. Prefer the scissors your grandmother gave you? Have a favorite seam ripper or needle threader you've used for years? Simply swap the included tools for your own treasured favorites while continuing to enjoy the handcrafted leather sheaths and organized design. The Chatelaine is designed to evolve with your stitching journey.
Clip it to your project bag, wear it around your neck, or easily move it from one project bag to another using the solid brass ring.
I've been using mine for years and wouldn't stitch without it. In fact, I keep separate Chatelaines for quilting, embroidery, and needlepoint so each project is packed, organized, and ready to go.
