About this item
Stunning bundle of vintage and reclaimed fabrics and trims for textile art, slow stitching projects and junk journaling. Inspired by the floral blue Laura Ashley print, the box includes pieces salvaged from an antique Welsh quilt, a cotton christening dress and hand crocheted tablecloth. Plus Yorkshire wool, ribbons, buttons and hand dyed yarns and more... Available as both a starter kit and a larger version, both are based on the same antique, vintage and retro fabrics and trims, carefully selected for textural and visual interest. The larger box has larger pieces and more extras. Some are from my own collection, or sourced from local vintage shops and individual sellers. More modern pieces are surplus/offcuts from my patchwork quilting or costume making, or salvaged from pre-loved clothes or furnishings. Your box will include a piece of calico fabric for a foundation to sew into, needles and pins, and my introduction to slow stitching leaflet and stitching guide (you can swap this for an emailed copy plus extra textiles - see options). FABRIC REMNANTS - vintage floral cotton Laura Ashley print - vintage cotton crochet - vintage cotton trimmed with broderie anglaise - vintage chiffon fabric - antique Welsh quilt - Yorkshire wool fabric - floral quilting cotton TRIM - buttons, vintage/salvaged - will vary - hand-dyed wool & linen yarns -vintage and modern ribbon, lace & yarn - lace motifs, vintage/salvaged - text tags - embroidery threads Due to their age, some pieces may have small marks or tears - all part of their rich history.

My collection started as a child with an old button box and some vintage embroidery threads given to me by my late grandmother. Over the years I have collected many vintage and retro items (note I only cut into pieces that are too damaged or marked to be used in their original form) as well as a whole sewing room full of bits and pieces. I decided I would use some of this collection to create curated boxes for the newly re-discovered art of slow stitching. Get yourself a cup of tea, and relax with a needle and thread.
Recommended for adults and children over 14. Warning: Contains pins and needle with a functional sharp point. Keep out of reach of small children. Allergen: wool contains lanolin, vintage fabrics have unknown materials and dyes.

I absolutely love my vintage bookmark, the fabrics are gorgeous and my Christmas felt decoration is perfect for my fresh tree in December. Stitching is spot on. Thank you, Sharon. Prompt delivery, packaged beautifully in white tissue paper.

Bought 3 itemsThree gorgeous tags with vintage silk and lace. These are my favourite fabrics along with velvet. The fabrics on the tags are delightful. And the small buttons are so cute. Stitching is perfect. Absolutely love them. Thank you, Sharon.
