About this item
Mis-matched slow sewing kits - these lovely bundles of fabrics and trims have been put together using bits and pieces left over from my more specific vintage theme curated kits. Perfectly imperfect - these are the same quality and standard as my Vintage Pink, Vintage Blue and Vintage White Linen boxes (as shown in the photos), but they are a mix from each theme. 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). Available in 2 sizes, each mismatched box will be different, but they will all be stuffed to the brim with beautiful vintage, pre-loved or salvaged textiles and haberdashery including: - fragments of antique quilts and wool blankets, tablecloths and crochet lace doilies, cotton tea towels or linen sheets, christening gowns or pinnies, - offcuts and scraps of cotton quilting fabrics, curtains and summer dresses, - snippets of trims and embellishments, including hand-dyed wool, linen thread and fluffy yarns, ribbons, lace and motifs, - 4 colours of embroidery threads, - and of course, some old buttons.

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.
I was very pleased with my purchase. It was very well presented and came up to my expectations. Created to inspire! Lovely colour co-ordinations and quality materials,
Three 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.
