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
Looking for a vintage fabrics and trims with strong textural and visual interest for your next textile art, junk journaling or slow stitching project? This silk and sari inspired bundle in beautiful shades of copper and rose gold contrasts beautifully with the coarser texture of wool, the soft wrinkle of the hand sewn antique quilt, and the silky smoothness of the vintage cream lace.
This kit includes scraps of silk and lace from special dresses I have made,together with vintage pieces collected over the years. It also includes trims and embellishment from my stage costume making, and remnants salvaged from upholstery and patchwork quilt projects.
Both the A4 box (shown in the photos) and the smaller A5 starter box, are based around the same carefully curated collection of vintage, reclaimed or salvaged textiles - the sizes of the scraps will differ and there are more variety in the larger box.
Each box has with a calico foundation piece, four different colours of embroidery thread, and a needle and some pins. Plus my Introduction to Slow Stitching and Stitch Guide leaflets.
