About this item
Goth meets Steampunk - my mismatched stitching kits are stuffed with rich fabrics and trims in purples, greens and black, offset with hints of antique gold and cream. Why not make a moody textile art picture for yourself, or gift the box to a teenager who wants to start the relaxing art of slow stitching or junk journalling. Perfectly imperfect - the same standard as my curated kits, these are made up from a mix of fabrics and trims left over from themes that have now sold out. 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). Available in 2 sizes, in your box you will find a foundation fabric cut from vintage black denim jeans, plus a piece of grey or cream canvas that can be used as an accent, or as a foundation for a smaller project. The decorative fabrics and trims in each box will vary - the photos show some examples - raw silk from an old wedding dress - silk ribbons - offcuts from the sari manufacturing industry - floral cotton prints from preloved clothes or offcuts from patchwork projects - a scrap of antique Welsh quilt - different coloured pieces of lace - vintage, reclaimed and deadstock - crocheted lace - velvet and satin ribbons - metallic and beaded braids - faux leather and silky cords - hand-dyed linen yarn and fluffy yarns - embroidery thread in different colours - pre-loved buttons

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.

I absolutely love my vintage bookmark, the fabrics are gorgeous and my Christmas felt decoration is perfect for my fresh tree in December. Stitching is spot on. Thank you, Sharon. Prompt delivery, packaged beautifully in white tissue paper.
I was very pleased with my purchase. It was very well presented and came up to my expectations. Created to inspire! Lovely colour co-ordinations and quality materials,
Three gorgeous tags with vintage silk and lace. These are my favourite fabrics along with velvet. The fabrics on the tags are delightful. And the small buttons are so cute. Stitching is perfect. Absolutely love them. Thank you, Sharon.
