Nostalgia: Vintage Sewing Notions

Categories

Nostalgia

My grandma and grandpa owned a fabric store called Yards of Fashion in the ’70s. These button containers are some of the few pieces of the shop that remain. To me, they’re a symbol of the entrepreneurship that was passed down to me.

What trinkets do you keep close to inspire you?

    Libby, I think we need to revive your grandparents' store in some way, "Yards of Fashion" is an adorable & clever name for a sewing shop! My mom is a talented seamstress so I collect vintage notions, buttons, fabric and patterns for her at the thrift/estate sales.
