Title	Huswif with glazed cotton block and roller prints
Creator	Unknown member of the Levi and Hylah Hasbrouck family
Date.Original	Early 19th c.
Description	Hand sewn, rectangular shaped bag with rounded closure. The bag fabric is brown and white striped with alternating rows of white diamonds and a sprig design. The huswif was found inside the bag at Locust Lawn. The huswif is also hand sewn, rectangular shaped with one rounded end. The back is glazed cotton roller printed fabric with a floral design. The entire huswif is also edged in this fabric; the fabric can also be seen on the first pocket on the opposite side. There are four other pockets of different fabrics, several are block printed. The very top of the huswif is a brown and yellow fabric, which is repeated at the bottom pocket. The second pocket, similar to a fabric remnant found at Locust Lawn, is brown, purple and white striped with a small sprig design. The third pocket is a geometric floral design, and the fourth pocket is an alternating red dot and brown stripe. Each pocket is hemmed with a different fabric and each is backed with white cotton.
Notes	Huswif (""house wife"") or roll-up was the name given to an oblong shaped sewing case made out of scraps of fabric that could be rolled up and put into a pocket. It typically had smaller inside pockets and tabs for needles. A scrap of fabric similar to the second pocket of this huswif was found in the Locust Lawn (The Josiah Hasbrouck House) collection. The fabric found in this huswif is block and roller printed glazed cotton. Block printing (pattern is cut into a wood block and then stamped) and roller printing (pattern is engraved onto a metal cylinder and then rolled out) were two methods for printing fabrics in the 18th and 19th centuries.
