CHRISTMAS ORDERS - ready-made items ordered over the weekend will be posted on Monday 23rd December.
I use Track 24 as standard, but it is now recommended you upgrade to Special Delivery Guaranteed to be sure your item arrives. Some of my gift box and toy listings already have this in the options, but you can add my separate postal upgrade listing to any order for items that dispatch within 1 day.
Want me to post it on your behalf? Just add my Direct to Recipient upgrade to your order.
I also have a number of gift voucher options that can be emailed up to Christmas Eve. .
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
Looking for a slow stitching kit with strong textural and visual interest for your next textile art, junk journaling or slow stitching project? This silk and sari inspired bundle in beautiful shades of copper and rose gold contrasts beautifully with the coarser texture of wool, the soft wrinkle of the hand sewn antique quilt, and the silky smoothness of the vintage cream lace.
This bundle includes scraps of silk and lace from wedding dresses I have made - including my own - with vintage pieces collected over the years. It also includes trims and embellishment from my stage costume making, together with remnants salvaged from upholstery and patchwork quilt projects.
Carefully curated, there are over 40 pieces, all presented in a handy A4 cardboard storage box.
The box contains mostly vintage, reclaimed or salvaged items - there may be small marks or tears - all part of their rich history.
