Hi and welcome to The Old Button Sews, where I sell beautiful gifts designed and sewn by me.
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.

Full description
Garden themed craft kit, inspired by a fragment of a vintage hand embroidered rose cushion and a scrap of fabric from the iconic Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady. Pinks, greens and blues, on a background of soft cream, these lovely textiles are ideal for slow stitching, textile art and junk journals. Would make a lovely gift for a crafting friend, or keep for yourself.
In two sizes, the larger box has more pieces and larger sizes than the starter kit, but both include stunning pieces of antique, vintage and pre-loved textiles and trims chosen to complement and enhance the feature pieces.
