sewing box

Posted by Ingrid Gooyer

5 April, 2015 - ,

Had a lot of wooden spools just waiting to be used, so here it is…my vintage sewing box! 🙂
Made this box with the Vintage Summer Basics from Maja design.


For the box I used the 1899 and the 1946 sheets.


This box has a glass frame to see through so this box will be filled with some laces.


Just love these mini spools.
I gave them a coat with gesso.


The spools were decorated with the 1891 and the 1932 sheet.


A lovely scissor put in one of the spools.


Lots of room to be filled!


These old fabric buttons were found at a local flea market.


Some vintage lace bobbins for lacemaking.


Some flower ribbon, metal leaves, stick pins and flowers.

Papers used:

1891 – 1899 – 1932 – 1946

Enjoy your day!
