Note from the designer - The pyramid shape of this etui, or case, was popular during Victorian times. The outside panels are embroidered with traditional motifs. On the bottom of the etui is a verse that I adapted from an old song published in 1886. The verse begins with the line Come haste, my fair maiden, prepare for your worke ..... This verse was the inspiration for the name of the etui.

On the inside are a pinkeep, thread rings, and two silk pockets. On the model, one pocket holds an embroidered needlebook and the other a mother of pearl ruler. Also on the inside of the etui is an embroidered scissors pocket. The finished size of the etui is almost 4-1/2 inches tall.
