Vintage Sewing Tools and Supplies

Posted by Crystal

What is it about vintage sewing and crafting tools and supplies that makes me adore them so?

I recently went to Battle Alley Arcade Antiques Mall in Holly and fell madly in love with some wonderful vintage items. 

Battle Alley is the MOST charming antique store I have ever visited.  It is set up indoors like a small, old-fashioned road with mini-storefronts.  You feel like you could find a treasure in every single room and aisle.

I saw this fascinating Traum Dressmaker Guide.  I didn't buy it because I wanted to research its purpose to decide if I actually needed it.  Etsy to the rescue!  I found this listing for a Clinton Pleat Maker AND a Traum Dressmaker Guide.  I think the Pleat Maker looks so cool, too!

However, I did purchase these awesome yellow buttons on their original card...

...and turned them into a fabulous pair of upcycled earrings for my line of beautiful JUNK crafts that will be for sale at the Holiday Craft Market!

We hope to see YOU this Saturday!
