Original U.S. Civil War Soldier’s “Housewife” Roll-Style Sewing Kit British Machine Guns 450 Revolver issued to BritishOriginal Item. Only One Available. A housewife during the Civil War was described as a long piece of cloth with a number of small pockets sewed along one side, and made to fold up like a pocket book, having separate places for buttons, thread, needles, pins, etc.. Most Civil War soldiers owned just one set of clothing, which was quick to wear out during long marches and bitter fighting. As you can imagine, mending clothes was a must for soldiers.
