Hi and welcome to The Old Button Sews, where I sell beautiful gifts designed and sewn by me. Special commissions are welcome - just click the "contact" button above.
I also sell craft kits and fabric supplies - and am moving them across to my new shop The Old Button Supplies - search for me on Folksy.
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
Stunning bundle of vintage and reclaimed fabrics and trims for textile art, slow stitching projects and junk journaling. Inspired by the floral blue Laura Ashley print, the box includes pieces salvaged from an antique Welsh quilt, a cotton christening dress and hand crocheted tablecloth. Plus Yorkshire wool, ribbons, buttons and hand dyed yarns and more...
Available as both a starter kit or a larger version, both are based on the same antique, vintage and retro fabrics and trims, carefully selected for textural and visual interest. The larger box has larger pieces and more extras.
Some are from my own collection, or sourced from local vintage shops and individual sellers. More modern pieces are surplus/offcuts from my patchwork quilting or costume making, or salvaged from pre-loved clothes or furnishings.
Your box will also include calico foundation fabric, embroidery threads, needle and pins and my introduction to slow stitching leaflet.
