Elizabethan Casket Etui is a stitcher’s toolbox, shaped like embroidered caskets from the Elizabethan era, with five “smalls” to tuck inside. The theme of this design is samplers from different countries –
- The box is American and English

- The needle book is Spanish and Mexican
- The scissor fob is Quaker
- The thimble bag is Dutch
- The scissor sheath is English pattern darning
- The thimble bag will be pre-stitched and then constructed in class.
Stitches used in this design include: cross, tent, cross over one, satin, four-sided, eyelet, queen, double running, long arm cross, Smyrna cross, back stitch, Aztec stitch, and pattern darning.
Kit includes 32 count Platinum Belfast linen, silk Duponi, silk and cotton threads, silk ribbon, interfacing, wool felt, beds, needles, charts, instructions and color photocopies.
