Hi and welcome to The Old Button Sews, where I sell beautiful gifts designed and sewn by me, together with an expanding range of sew it yourself kits.
I post Tracked 48, but please contact me about an upgrade if you need your parcel sooner.
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
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.
Includes snippets and pieces of:
- coastal themed quilting cotton prints - including waves, shells and grassy sand dunes
- upholstery and 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
Your box will also include a piece of calico fabric for a foundation to sew into, embroidery cotton in 4 colours, and a needle and pins. Plus my Introduction to slow stitching leaflet.
VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE TEXTILES - due to their age some may have small marks or tears.
