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
Goth meets Steampunk - my mismatched stitching kits are stuffed with rich fabrics and trims in purples, greens and black, offset with hints of antique gold and cream. Why not make a moody textile art picture for yourself, or gift the box to a teenager who wants to start the relaxing art of slow stitching or junk journalling.
Perfectly imperfect - tthe same standard as my curated kits, these are made up from a mix of fabrics and trims left over from themes that have now sold out.
In your box you will have a foundation fabric cut from vintage black denim jeans, plus a piece of grey or cream canvas that can be used as an accent, or as a foundation for a smaller project. The decorative fabrics and trims in each box will vary - the photos show some examples
- raw silk from an old wedding dress
- silk ribbons - offcuts from the sari manufacturing industry
- floral cotton prints from preloved clothes or offcuts from patchwork projects
- a scrap of antique Welsh quilt
- different coloured pieces of lace - vintage, reclaimed and deadstock
- crocheted lace in black and cream
- velvet and satin ribbons
- metallic and beaded braids
- cords and faux leather thong
- hand dyed linen yarn and fluffy yarns
- pre-loved buttons
Plus my stitch guide and introduction to slow stitching, some pins and a needle and 4 lengths of embroidery thread in different colours.
