WW2 Sewing Kit

WW2 Australian Army sewing kit made from khaki cotton, possibly chino, also known as a "soldiers housewife". Half of the inside of the sewing kit is lined with cream cotton which is stamped in purple MADE IN AUSTRALIA 1943. The kit held wool, cotton, needles, buttons and all the items required for emergency uniform repair in a small three sided pocket at the end of the sewing kit. Sewn to the top of this pocket is a square piece of blue wool in which the needles are kept. The sewing kit is rectangular when spread out, although one end comes to a triangular point where there is a thin piece of khaki cotton which serves to secure the kit when it is rolled closed.
