MARIETJE'S PURSE
Marietje Brouwers, born somewhere in the Netherlands in 1908, stitched a small purse with a sampler on the backside at the age of 12. “JB” and “AvG” are presumably her parents.
In 2022, I bought the framed purse at Marktplaats. Inspired by the purse, I designed a matching needle book and a scissor fob, creating a lovely sewing or embroidery set.
