I have been rummaging through my chaotic sewing room lately and on these rummaging missions, i rediscovered some really cool vintage sewing items that i have been given from my Mum and stuff i have brought along my trails..... I thought i might just share them with you:
I picked this magazine up on a road trip, in an old antique
store ( which was actually a massive warehouse in the middle of nowhere)
- unlucky though - none of the patterns were included, but it is so
much fun to read - can you imagine having these types of magazines now?
Not only are they awesome sewing mags, but they are beautiful, such care
taken in the design and illustrations....Check out some of the ads, they are good for a laugh!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
I had curly hair as a little one - a red headed Shirley temple - i wonder if Mum used this?
Gee thank Jack Davey, so thoughtful..
Not sure i would want to put that stuff on my teeth....
This was my Nana's, Mum gave them to me not long ago..
I would have totally went to this course!
This is my fav - Nerve tablets - hahahahhahaha the kids are fun now - what vodka and Valium not cool anymore?
Not
only a chocolate ad - but look in the left corner - instructions for
women, on how they could improve themselves & their lives by making
chocolate... hang on... that does make sense! ha
I love this ad - so chic, I definitely don't look like that sewing :)
Measuring ruler on the side.. Awesome!
This was my Nana's, Mum gave them to me not long ago..
I'm not going to use them at all, just a keepsake of my Nan
Check out the packaging quality, so pretty..
Again the inside packaging is so pretty but still so practical..
Pretty..
What cool vintage sewing stuff have you picked up? Or had passed down from family members?
Have a rad week!
