About this item
Looking for way to relax? Try slow stitching. Inspired by icy blue frost, the silky shimmer of the reclaimed curtain samples contrast beautifully with the coarser texture of wool, the richness of velvet, the crispness of quilting cotton and the froth of vintage lingerie lace. And there is a bit of silver glitter in the mix too for extra sparkle and texture. Available in two sizes. Both the A5 starter box shown in the photos and the bigger A4 box, are based around the same carefully curated collection of zero waste or salvaged textiles and haberdashery - the sizes of the scraps will differ and there are more variety in the larger box. Each box has with a calico foundation piece, four different colours of embroidery thread, and a needle and some pins. Plus my Introduction to Slow Stitching and Stitch Guide leaflets. CURTAIN SAMPLES reclaimed from curtain sample books - silver grey, off white and blue - textured and embroidered satins - sheers in different weaves - metallic weave - plain, metallic and two-tone velvets OTHER FABRICS - scrap of wool tweed from a tailoring business - -quilting cotton offcuts from making quilts TRIMS & NOTIONS - ribbon offcuts - satin, chiffon and glitter - salvaged fancy trim from a shawl - vintage lace in different widths - vintage ric-rac - vintage tapestry wool yarns - vintage and preloved buttons - may vary 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 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.
