A fold-over sewing kit, quilted and sewn by Cree artist Lilian F. Sam of Chisasibi. It keeps needles, thread, beads and small notions together in one place, so it is just as useful in a beading bag as it is in a travel pouch or a sewing drawer.

Each kit opens flat to a quilted inner panel and fabric pockets, then folds into a compact pouch finished with a lace appliqué on the flap. Lilian pairs a different set of fabrics for every kit, so each one is one of a kind.
