Hi and welcome to The Old Button Sews, where I sell beautiful gifts designed and sewn by me, together with a range of sew-it-yourself craft kits.
Most items are dispatched within 2-3 working days, and I post Tracked 24 at a flat cost, no matter how many items you buy. (Cards and bookmarks are sent First Class, at a lower postage cost).
The inspiration behind this kit is the snippet of vintage tapestry style fabric - the texture and colours are so rich. I think it goes beautifully with the scraps of vintage velvet curtains and the more subdued cotton prints, as well as the brocades and trims.
Safety information
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.
You have 14 days, from receipt, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.

Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
Full description
A stunning collection of material and trims in rich colours and textures inspired by a fragment of tapestry-style fabric. Perfect for vintage-style projects, this kit is ideal for those new to the art of slow stitching, as well as those looking to build their collection of beautiful textile scraps. A lovely gift for a crafty friend - I can post direct, and the box fits through most letterboxes, or buy one for yourself and create something beautiful.
Available in two sizes, the larger box has a second foundation piece of soft wool tweed, and extra fabrics and trims that co-ordinate with those in the photos.
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).
The fabrics and trims are all carefully selected from my own collection or sourced from local vintage shops and individual sellers, and include:
- tapestry style upholstery fabric
- brocades and silks
- velvet from vintage curtains
- Welsh wool blanket
- hand-stitched antique Welsh quilt
- floral and plain quilting cotton
- upholstery trims
- tapestry, darning and knitting yarns
- hand-dyed wool & linen yarns
- lace, ribbon and tape
- embroidery threads
- buttons (colours vary)
