Vintage Sewing items

While doing some "Spring Cleaning" I discovered
I had many vintage sewing items.
'Sew' I decided to put them all together on a shelf above my sewing machine.

Thanks for looking at my Vintage sewing items.
For more fun, and to see what others have to show,
go to Kelli's House.

Oh they are adorable! I own a bit of vintage sewing items but they are mostly patterns and books from the 40's and 50's.

Thank you so much for sharing...

I'll have to copy that idea ;).

Visiting from Kelli's Show and Tell blog train!

What a GREAT display!!! I am so impressed. Sewing I've not done for YEARS and fear I'd sew my digits into things if I even tried. I'm afraid I've turned into a 'speed sew' type of Gal LOL!

AWWW! I am pouting cause I've been reading back and missed the contest for your INCREDIBLE apron. Its *GASP* gorgeous!

Loved stopping in and thx for sharing!

What wonderful items! I have much of my grandmother's sewing items, and love them. I use the old patterns, and still have zippers and amazing buttons I'd like to use.

Hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather that seems to be all over the state!
