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
Inspired by the hand embroidered rose tablecloth and vintage table linens, this fabric scrap craft kit is ideal for slow stitching, textile art and junk journals. Would make a lovely gift for a crafting mum or aunt.
In two sizes, the larger box has more pieces and larger sizes than the starter kit, but both include stunning pieces of antique, vintage and pre-loved textiles and trims chosen to complement and enhance the different shades of embroidery threads used in the original tablecloth. Photos show examples from both size boxes.
Your box will also include a piece of calico fabric for a foundation to sew into, embroidery threads and a needle and pins. Plus my Introduction to slow stitching leaflet.
