I am often asked about my collection of vintage sewing notions when people stop by my studio, so I thought I would start a little video series to document all of my favorite ones. Most of my collection came from either eBay or antique shopping (I have found some amazing pieces in local antique shops).

These days I try really hard to resist impulse shopping because we have downsized so much. Its helped me to have some questions in my mind to ask myself whenever I see a vintage sewing notion that I think I can’t live without…

• Would it get damaged by the intense sunshine in my studio?
• What about it do I find inspiring?
• Would it be enough to just take a photo of it? (Many times it is!)

What about you? Do you have some vintage sewing notions that serve as inspiration to you in your creative space? I would love to hear about them!
