Description

Slow stitching kit, inspired by a beautiful vintage fabric depicting pastoral scenes on a soft blue background with pink accents. Perfect for vintage-style projects, this kit is ideal for those new to the art of slow stitching, as well as those looking to build their collection of beautiful textile scraps. In a French style, these romantic cameos are often referred to as "L'aveu" (declaration of love) or a shepherd's idyll. Choose from: girl playing a musical instrument, embracing couple with cat, boy with dog. Sorry, the scene in the main photo (couple playing instruments) is sold out Available in two sizes; both are based around the same carefully curated collection of antique, vintage, reclaimed or salvaged textiles. The larger box has extra pieces not shown. 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). French Garden includes scraps and fragments of: - Pastoral scene - choose from the options - Laura Ashley ditsy print - printed floral motif - this may differ from the examples in the photo - chiffon and cotton dobby - quilting cotton prints - flowers and butterflies - ric-rac, ribbon and braid - lace, broderie anglaise and hand tatting - Welsh wool blanket, Scottish tweed wool - Welsh quilt - tapestry wool and linen yarn - embroidery threads - buttons, vintage/salvaged - may differ VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE TEXTILES - due to their age, some may have small marks or tears: ;

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.

  • 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.
