Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I love chatelaines and have seen some beautiful ones! When I was in ASG we made one for ourselves using a very basic pattern. I added a Pincushion Doll to mine and a needle book. This was all fabric no chains. I have my grandmother's thimble in a tiny crocheted thimble holder. The pincushion doll was from a Martha Pullen Sew Beautiful Magazine. It was really fun to make!

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
Oh my, that is gorgeous. What exactly do you do with them???
well apparently I had a very simplistic idea about what a chatelaine was.
Now I am excited, bc yup, some time after the holidays I will be making
one too.
This is awesome. Mine won't be fancy, just utilitarian...or at least
my FIRST one, lol.
I love it!
I had just bought a simle parachord necklace type thingy with one of
those metal "hooks" (it looks like a question mark kind of).
Now I can have something with not only my trimming scissors but
some pins and things too! wonderful!
It is a blessing, to be a blessing!

I have one that's about 45" long and about 2" at it's narrowest to down the front to 3". It has my name on it, a small stuffed pincushion and a place for needles, pins, scissors and spool with thimble. It was my own design, and don't have a camera. if I can find it, i'll have a friend photo it.
put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.
Divokittysmom - now that's what I'm talking about. It looks like you can carry everything you need. Thanks for the pic. It gives me a good start on mine.
Mine is German silver and has little chains to hold various sewing things. I need to figure out how to keep the scissors from opening up.
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
Find me at Victorian sweatshop discussion group
Now that's the kind I would love to have.....I know someone who makes jewelry..this might be a challenge for her.
About keeping scissor points closed.....when I L/A I have a pair attached to one of those zingers.....and to keep those points from poking a "delicate" area I use a small blue rubbery thing that you are supposed to put on knitting needle tips to keep from poking when not in use....I guess a piece of eraser or cork would work too.
Hunt through the pens in the house until you find a pen cap that fits snugly over the points? Or how about a small pony holder made for babies? Or a pretty elastic loop?
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
