Sewing Bits

Below are a few pictures of some lovely sewing bits my daughter was lucky enough to get for Christmas from her Auntie.   Originally her Auntie’s Grandmothers, who was obviously an enthusiastic sewer.   I just loved the look of all the old packaging, the pictures, the text and how lovely the buttons were.  I thought that these old buttons look so lovely preserved on their cards, kept for what looks like many years, it was going to be difficult to disturb them from their backings and use them, but use them we will. 

I wanted to preserve their look  in a scrapbook kind of way and thought the best place for this would be my blog.  I was very pleased how lovely the photos looked, and will now feel happy to use them.  We will have fun using all these bits and making some lovely cushions and bags etc out of them together.
