Back in the day when Vintage Fairs were still allowed! I always had a collection of old fabric patchwork squares, buttons and trimmings as well as vintage clothes on my stall. I loved it that a customer could dip in and buy tiny pieces from me to maybe just line a purse say, or finish off a special little project. This pack is my way of recreating that feeling, until we can all go and visit outside events again.
