Antique Vintage Sewing Tools Boxes Bags Books

All kinds of antique sewing items will be found here in this category.   It so happen to be a favorite of mine especially the fanciwork needle cases, pin keeps and pincushions.  I do love anything made of cloth.  However you will find sewing tools and sewing boxes here, too. 

Along with the sewing tools,  antique and vintage "how-to" instruction books on lace making such as crochet, tatting, knitting will  be found listed here.   

Here is the place for vintage sewing books, too, or other important sewing related items not found  under the "lace, ribbon & sewing notion" category will be here.   Books, manuals etc will date from the mid Victorian through the 1940s.
