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
With fragments of a beautiful hand embroidered tablecloth and a rose themed runner, this bundle of vintage linen and embellishments is a perfect starter kit for slow stitching, textile art or for an upcycling project. Ideal for beginners, or a gift for a crafting friend.
Carefully chosen to complement and enhance the different shades of threads used in the embroidery, there are over 30 items, presented in a letterbox size cardboard box. I also have a larger version - see other listings.
Each kit has a piece of calico for a foundation piece, plus an embroidery needle secured in a scrap of antique Welsh quilt.
