It's no surprise that I love sewing notions - both vintage and new. I do a lot of sewing, both for the business and personal things. I'm in a huge sewing mood these days, so I've been using a lot of my sewing notions and accessories lately.
They also show up in the model photos we do for our patterns. It's pretty rare for a photo to have absolutely no thread or scissors or buttons or something in it.
I found a few new things last week on a trip to our favorite flea market/vintage market. One was a ziploc bag full of sewing notions and it included this brass card case with these things in it:
Neither Jimmy nor I had any idea what these are. Anybody know?
Some of the things I find get used and some are just for show. But I love them all!
Do you have a favorite vintage or new sewing notion?
I'm Robin, the designer behind October House. You've found my journal, where I talk about stitching, sewing and anything else that might catch my fancy!
Make something beautiful today!
