Seamtresses chanel wearing little bags
In the documentary about chanel you can see that the seamstresses are wearing little toolbags. I think that i have seen an article about and/or a pattern but I cannot find them anymore. Can somebody help me?
TIA!

Perhaps it was a Chateline, or their version of a basic Chateline (sewing tools on a chain).
Quick to Make: Little black sewing bag by Susan Crane in no. 149
Hi Hester, I remember that story.
Susan Crane wrote it after studying the little black bags the French fashion-house seamstresses wore. It's in Threads no. 149 (June/July 2010), pp. 64-67. It's available as part of the Insider membership if you don't have the issue.
The story has the pattern and instructions to make your own.
Best regards,
