Slow Stitch Kit - Vintage Fabrics Set - Gift Box - Totem

A vintage box packed with vintage fabrics, trims, buttons and threads.

This lovely, 1920's lidded box used to contain Totem brand, black/red ribbons for Imperial typewriters. Now it has been repurposed as a sewing box, and is filled with vintage sewing items and plenty of fabrics for making and creating. 

This vintage sewing set has a flower theme with the fabrics. There's a lovely rosebud cotton, a red woven cotten with big white roses and an Ikat cotton with red flowers. To keep the theme going there is also a lovely embroidered floral bouquet applique patch and some daisy chain trim. Add to these some vintage lace, an embroidered handkerchief, a card of vintage buttons, a vintage buckle and two wooden reels of thread in co-ordinating colours. All in all, a comprehensive collection of goodies to start a project.

The fabric pieces measure 90cm x 30cm, 45cm x 42cm and 30cm x 30cm.  

These vintage sewing sets make great gifts, and this one is ready to hand over to a sewing friend if you can bear to! Or keep it and use the fabrics and trims to make bags, cushion covers, patchwork and slow stitch projects like the one in the final picture. To be honest, the box alone is worthy of a place on any shelf.

Box measures 20.5cm x 14cm x 5cm. There are other sets to choose from in the shop.
