About this item
Slow stitching and sewing ideas from vintage haberdashery fit snuggly inside this little storage tin. I wanted to recreate the feeling of looking inside Granny's button box when you were a child. So, inside the tin are bits of ribbon, braid and lace. Also, cotton fat quarters, patchwork squares and a scattering of sequins and buttons. Perfect as a present for someone learning slow stitching or for trying out recycling ideas, and all stored in an unusual tin which looks like a book. These little embellishments will make your work that bit special, and add a sprinkling of history to whatever you decide to create. Inside your little second hand tin you will find; 2 x fat quarters (fabric squares approx 50 cm by 50 cm) 10 cotton patchwork charm size squares and 3 vintage embroidery silks Some stick on jewels and sew on sequins and a length of art deco silk bias binding 2 embroidered linens and a vintage hanky Lengths of polyester satin ribbon, ric rac braid and salvaged cotton lace 3 sets of buttons This packs into an unusual second hand tin which looks like a book and measures 14cm by 20cm by 4cm I like to recycle. Your haberdashery will be posted out wrapped in clean, recycled packaging, and sent by Royal Mail 2nd class.

When I saw these old Cath Kidston tins being sold at the car boot, I wanted to curate them into little collections to inspire people to sew, just as I was inspired by my Mums sewing tin. So now, if I see the right tin or box at the car boot, I buy it to fill with these things.

Smashing bag, I love the juxtaposition of ticking and vintage embroidery. Great for a project bag and it easily folds flat for packing when travelling. Recently used aa an unusual handbag on opera visit. Supremely well made. Highly recommended.
Delightful item, beautifully wrapped and arrived extremely quickly.
A lovely bag full of colour. It has been beautifully made and presented, and I will find many uses for the bag. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you and best wishes.
