About this item
Looking for a way to relax? Try slow stitching. This silk and sari inspired bundle in beautiful shades of copper and rose gold contrasts beautifully with the coarser texture of wool, the soft wrinkle of the hand-stitched antique quilt, and the silky smoothness of the vintage cream lace. This kit includes scraps of silk and lace from special dresses I have made, together with vintage pieces collected over the years. It also includes trims and embellishments from my stage costume making, and remnants salvaged from upholstery and patchwork quilt projects. Both the A4 box (shown in the photos) and the smaller A5 starter box are based around the same carefully curated collection of vintage, reclaimed or salvaged textiles - the sizes of the scraps will differ, and there is more variety in the larger box. 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: silk - different colours and types guipure lace all-over lace sari chiffon and silk ribbons (colour may vary) antique Welsh quilt Welsh wool blanket cotton dobby print floral quilting cotton scraps TRIMS & NOTIONS buttons - may vary lace motifs hand-dyed linen and wool yarns ribbons, ric-rac & lace beaded ribbon text tags different colours of embroidery thread Plus extras not pictured

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 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.
I adore my hand embroidered bookmarks, with velvet on the backs. Attention to detail is superb. I am an obsessive bookmark collector, so I will definitely be buying more from Sharon's shop. The old button sews. Highly recommend. Prompt delivery and beautifully wrapped.
