Here is my Sewing theme tag just scraping in in time. I found this old old packet of sewing needles when we cleared FIL's house out last yr and thought it might come in useful for crafting with. It is 1950's era and was very tatty from constant use. I managed to salvage as much of the front cover as I could and stuck this onto a cardboard base. Continuing with the vintage feel I found lace in my stash nearly as old and a well used tape measure that I cut the end off to use. The needles are just one from the packet which had several of these foils in different sizes. The packet said they were nickel plated rust proof and they are!! The sissors are a large charm which I have used for the tag hanging.
Love this 50's look. My mother looked like a classic 50's girl!
