Wooden Acorn Sewing Etui
- Worldwide Shipping Available
I am so delighted to offer these beautiful little wooden acorn sewing cases. Also know as an etui, these tiny containers were often found in vintage and antique sewing boxes and contained needles, pins, thread etc. Indeed, this tiny treasure was inspired by a vintage piece from my collection, which has been lovingly reproduced with a few tweaks.
Remove the grooved cap to reveal a tiny triple thread spool and needle storage (thread and needles not included).
If you wish, you can remove the spool and just use the acorn as a small container - it will hold our wax acorns, stitch markers, metal thimble or general tiny things! Either way, this is a charming and useful addition to your workbox.

The acorn etui is beautifully made and very tactile. I have a Shaker style needlework box and it fits in that perfectly.
I ordered 2 - one for me and one for a crafty friend. Then liked them so much - I ordered 2 more! One for mom and one for one of my lace teachers. They are very well made. Well packaged, and arrived in perfect condition. Looking forward to finding a use for it other than just holding it and loving it!
Beautifullly made and unique- packaged in a perfect cylindrical box- best present for a sewer
This is a beautifully made etui which I will treasure. It arrived very well packed. Many thanks.
