Hostess mystery item ?!

[onekiwi0]

my friend found this amongst some sewing items but best we can come up with it this is some kind of stencil.

we believe hostess was around '60s / 70s, and would assume kitchen related.  its large plastic - bigger than A4.  can anyone tell me what this is please?!

Possibly a vintage embroidery thread organizer ??

Cheers, M.

I'll take a guess and say it is a chocolate tool. Pour your melted chocolate on the stencil, scrape away the excess, let it set, push out the pieces and use them in cake decorating?

The size and shape suggests a soap bottle apron template. The shape of the cutouts would not be unusual in sewing /quilting, as this sort of template is often used to make a pattern using two different fabrics, one layered on top of the other and then the top layer cut away in th holes, then stitched around.

That would make sense of why it was in with the sewing items.

ROFL I'm sorry shopping bag I just can't see it!!!!!! fox your suggestion seems plausible.  the embroidery threads, I have many vintage cotton tidys & they're diff shape/smaller.
