Description

Seaside-inspired slow stitching kit, full of vintage and reclaimed textiles in blue-greens, sandy brown, creams and white. Frothy lace, shimmery satin and crisp quilting cottons. Perfect for creating coastal picture 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 scraps for textile or mixed media art. Available in two sizes, both are based around the same carefully curated collection of antique, vintage, reclaimed or salvaged textiles. The larger box has extra pieces not shown 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). Seaside Blue includes scraps and fragments of: - coastal-themed quilting cotton prints - including waves, shells and grassy sand dunes - upholstery and curtain textiles - household linen textiles - lace and hand tatting - satin ribbons, beaded trim and cords - tapestry wool, knitting wool and textured yarns - hand-dyed linen threads - sea-themed sew-on metal motif (shell or seahorse or starfish - included at random) - buttons - vary in each box - embroidery cotton in 4 colours VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE TEXTILES - due to their age, some may have small marks or tears.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

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.
