Description

True blue denim and rose pink slow stitching kits, offset with a darker cerise, and cotton crochet lace in creams and light tans. There's a rich variety of textures, from the roughness of the vintage wool blanket to the matt shine of the velvet ribbon. Stuffed full of little pieces of vintage or salvaged fabrics and embellishments that can be snipped and sewn onto a denim foundation piece, these kits are a great introduction to slow sewing and textile art, and I think they make great gifts for teenagers. Available in 2 sizes - both have the same pieces; the larger box has a second foundation piece in a different colour denim, and even more trims and embellishments. Your box will include 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). This kit has scraps and fragments of: - foundation piece cut from vintage blue denim jeans - snippets of vintage Welsh wool blankets, lace collars and crocheted doilies - offcuts of cotton and linen prints in florals and stripes - salvaged ribbons, lace and upholstery braids - pre-loved buttons (may vary from photos) - lengths of hand-dyed linen yarn, tapestry and knitting wool - embroidery threads in co-ordinating colours - reel or bobbin of sewing thread - a scrap of antique Welsh quilt

  • 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.

  • I adore my hand embroidered bookmarks, with velvet on the backs. Attention to detail is superb. I am an obsessive bookmark collector, so I will definitely be buying more from Sharon's shop. The old button sews. Highly recommend. Prompt delivery and beautifully wrapped.
