Hi there and welcome to my shop. Here you will find old embroideries, vintage fabrics and sparkling remnants made into something pretty and practical once again. I re-stock slowly but surely, so do keep coming back for a browse.
As I try to recycle where I can, your order will arrive wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard.
Thank you for visiting me at Folksy.

When I saw these old Cath Kidston tins being sold at the car boot, I wanted to curate them into little collections to inspire people to sew, just as I was inspired by my Mums sewing tin. So now, if I see the right tin or box at the car boot, I buy it to fill with these things.

Full description

This little collection of upcycled vintage haberdashery fits snuggly inside this unusual tin. I wanted to recreate the feeling of looking inside Granny's button box when you were a child. So, inside this tin which looks like a book, are bits of ribbon, braid and lace. Also, cotton fat quarters, patchwork squares and a scattering of sequins and buttons. Perfect as a present for someone learning to sew, or for trying out recycling ideas, these little embellishments will make your work that bit special, and add a sprinkling of history to whatever you decide to create.

Inside your little second hand tin you will find;

2 x fat quarters (fabric squares approx 50 cm by 50 cm)

10 cotton patchwork charm size squares and 3 vintage embroidery silks

Some stick on jewels and sew on sequins and a length of art deco silk bias binding

2 embroidered linens and a vintage hanky

Lengths of polyester satin ribbon, ric rac braid and salvaged cotton lace

3 sets of buttons

This packs into an unusual second hand tin which looks like a book and measures 14cm by 20cm by 4cm

I like to recycle. Your haberdashery will be posted out wrapped in clean, recycled packaging, and sent by Royal Mail 2nd class.
