Oh my, what a beautiful box you have been given, and full of treasure. 🤩 Congratulations on the lovely magazine article - very well deserved. We are so lucky to have you share your time and knowledge with us on RUclips. 🥰
I inherited a lot of similar items to what were in your box from both my mother and mother- in-law. They were both avid sewers…..to this day I have never had to buy any sewing notions….I simply go to my treasure stash ! I have spent the last 30 years making quilts from all the fabric scraps that I inherited as well . Finding your RUclips channel was a godsend as now that I’m finally retired I can focus on finding new and innovative ways to use the items I was so lucky to have been given to me!❤️😊🇨🇦
Hiya K3n😊,the 3 ?bone/ivory drops are thread holders/ bobbins used in long lace weaving/ knotting; as l have several inherited made from bone and ivory,along with an ivory needle holder similar to yours.Also two of wood & one in silver.Your finest little crochet hook was used when repairing silk stockings/ hosiery (& often with mini/ fine crocheting of decorative pieces as in broaches; l have a speedwell flower with a 4 leaf clover.that fit in a 2mm square!) The topless thimble makes me think of fine leather glovemaking- which makes me think that your slow burning raefers may also have been used when moist chamois leathers/rabbit-fox pelts were used for trims with riding gloves etc. So many treasures l have pins in a box similar to yours!😊One of my Grand aunts was a linen weaver/ picker and helped design& created some of the linens gifted to HRH QE2 at her wedding from Ulster.(& l have several test pieces- unbleached from this!) My Mothers Father used to make her buttoned shoes,so l have a "last" from then! I'm fortunate to have threads from Asia,India as well as many DMC ones,and only hope that my grandees may find them as wondrous as I do. Happily,they are brought up with all todays technologies but clamour for my books and to learn the "pterodactyl" ways!!😅 History is of great interest to them(& gives this "AP";-aged parent,relevance)Love watching& enjoy your "wittering"- excuse my own.Best wishes to all,😊Julia. J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia ❤ 🇦🇺 😀 🪃PS.the little serrated wheel is used when drafting patterns onto materials.You place chalked paper on the material,then the pattern,and trace with the wheel- leaves the outline and saves the pattern piece,espically useful in multisized patterns or when customising the sizes.😊
I have one of those little pointed ivory sticks. I was told it was a peg for marking a score on a cribbage board. I've not played cribbage (or crib? it's a card game) So I'm not sure, but the pegs are moved along the holes in a special board as the score increases, one peg for single digits and another for multiples of ten? (I use mine as a tiny bone-folder, for detail work on book restorations, it's a bit small for that but the neat pointed end is useful.)
@@carolinehawkins1105 Hello Caroline,I 👋 ☺ l have a cribbage board from my late Father( he taught me maths logics by teaching me how to play)and it has 2 small holes drilled into either end to store the pegs,but they're only about an inch or so long and made out of bleached bone.

What an absolute treasure!!! Such a beautiful box with all the lovely vintage items. I love that she organized using boxes and their lids. I am so looking forward to see how you organize it. I’m sure it’ll be such a treat! 🤩 Thank you for showing it, Kathryn!
My pleasure Rhonda, it's indeed lovely to think of her organising the things in the boxes, I almost hesitate to change it but I expect I will. I have this video as a memory of how she left it ❤️
Congratulations Kathryn on being published in Today's Quilter! You deserve it! You bring much joy to all of us ❣️ Your special box was fabulous with many treasures to enjoy. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful and congratulations on the article of your awesome work. Will try to get a copy. Love the DMC box WOW and yummies, stunning colours, what a blessing hun xx
My goodness, I live in Australia and there were quite a few things in your treasure box that I recognise, having seen them in my grandmother’s and mother’s sewing baskets. How wonderful, thank you so much for showing us, it brought back so many memories!
What a delight,watching you unpack this beautiful treasure.Enjoyed it immensely . That tiny hook with the wooden handle I think was used to mend stockings. Thanks for sharing and enjoy ❤️. Love your videos.
Oh my....what a treasure you've got there!!! I recognised "Nesthäkchens Nadelmappe" My grandmother had one of those in her sewing box. She got it from her mother. Nesthäkchen is a german term for the youngest child. And it is also a famous book series from 100 years ago. My grandmother had those books as a child, but she lost them during WW2. They are still printed in Germany i guess, because I had them from the library. Wonderful story of a girl growing up in the upperclass of Berlin around the time of WW1. Love to hear you wittering! Please, never stop! Liefs, Helene
The wooden tiny hook is called a stiletto needle. The pizza cutter-looking tool is a tracing wheel. I use mine perforating paper stamps. It makes it easy to tear. Lovely gift from your Aunt. She would be delighted to know you inherited it and are using it. Congratulations on being featured in the magazine ~Terri 😊
Wow Kathryn what a beautiful box and full of treasures. It couldn’t have gone to a more worthy person - you’re Auntie got it right giving it to you. How exciting!
What a treasure! So beautiful and full of memories. My Mum had the Dewey pin tin - a memory I didn't know I had until I saw yours.. Congratulations on being in the magazine! Mary x
What a lucky gift Katherine! Thank you for sharing your beautiful DMC box and what a treasure it is. I’m sure it will find a good home in your hands. 💕
Kathryn, I Love this gorgeous box….couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person🌻 Many moons ago in my dressmaking days I used a tracing wheel religiously. After cutting the pattern, you put special carbon paper underneath the fabric and trace the stitching line on top. Then you take the pattern off, turn it all over and trace the other side. It was a very handy tool and made for accurate stitching. These days I’ve embraced the wonky side of my soul and only stitch in a wonky intuitive way so dressmaking has gone out the window to be replaced by slow stitching. Waiting with abated breath for tomorrow’s project - only one more sleep to go 👏👏👏💜 Cath
Beautiful box, and I already got the magazine, very nice article about you. Thank you for showing! The thing with the serrated (?) wheel on it is called in Dutch a radeerwieltje, for copying sewing patterns out of magazines (with multiple sizes) on paper, you get little holes in the paper, so you can copy and cut the patterns to your size. Nowadays I use a transparant paper for copying, but in the past I have used it.
Hi …also if the serrated wheel spikes are blunt it was used with carbon paper to transfer markings to fabric, eg. darts. The blunted spikes wouldn’t damage your fabric. I have both types that belonged to my mum. I remember making stamps on a hand cranked sewing machine when I was a kid.
What a special gift!!! Yes, our sewing baskets tell our story! I've been missing your videos as the farm has kept me from all my art. 😢 But the garden and fields are an art in their own right.
Kathryn, please don’t ever stop wittering, I love listening to you when you’re wittering. 😂. I don’t use thimbles either. You could drill a tiny hole in the thimbles and use them as bobbles in your journals. The red handled thingy (don’t know its actual name) is exactly what you thought it is, for marking cloth for tailoring.
I've recently inherited my late mum's wooden sewing box, 2 pull out drawers, very 80's. Not full of vintage treasures such as yours but sentimental stuff I remember from my childhood. I'll treasure it 4ever.
I have several Dorcas metal tins, one is twice the depth. I also have a plastic one. Mine came from my mother and with old sewing machines I’ve bought. ❤❤❤
Greetings from GiGi In Vintage. Alma, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 Seeing this treasure box is indeed a time capsule. My advice for such history is to NOT disturb its contents. Simple enjoy how it's laid out in liitle boxes with special items in each. Why 'empty' it out? It's all too nice to disturb. Sometimes, our Blessings come in these little boxes meant to be treasured just as they are and used and admired. It was lovely to see all this. Thank you for sharing. Regards, GiGi In Vintage
Hello, I have kept it as it is for now and I do understand what you mean but I think that now I have the video as a record, it's nice to actually use it myself and add another layer to its story. ❤️
Oh my how beautiful. I can just see this sitting next to a rocker and her sewing away in front of a fire! I think that little screen thing is a custom button that you wrap fabric circle around. There was a small round insert that pushes and snaps the fabric into the back of the button form. The mini “pizza cutter” looks like a tracing wheel. There are small pieces of waxy paper with assorted colors. Place the tracing paper on top of fabric, then place pattern piece on top, then trace the outline of a dart or other markings and the image is transferred to the fabric for sewing guides. My tool was plastic, so it is lovely to see the original wood/metal style. Thank you for sharing. I very much enjoyed this! Oh also have never seen such a large quarter size snap! How unique! ❤
@@emilasmith4279 thank you for the button info, a few people have told me about the tracing wheel but you are the first about the button 😁 and yes those huge snaps are amazing aren't they ❤️
In fact, Kathryn, I have an “oh yes!” about a lot of things in your box, because my mum gave me one (not a DMC box). The little wheelie tool -to use with coloured wax paper to transfer marks from a paper pattern onto cloth, or possibly with tailor’s chalk. I have one and have used it when dressmaking but several decades ago, so I might be mistaken ! Thank you for sharing your exploration with us. Really lovely.
What an amazing gift from your Auntie! I really enjoyed watching you show us this treasure - what a wonderful box of goodies. LOVED seeing inside - I adore all vintage sewing things and have quite a few hook and eye and press stud cards myself - as you say they are amazing-pre Velcro!!🤪
WOW!!!! That was very fascinating to watch you go through each drawer. That DMC box is very much a TREASURE! It went to the perfect person. Congratulation on your magazine article. Now I will need to get a copy! THANK YOU so much for showing & sharing!!!❤❤❤❤😊
FYI Today's Quilter, and various other craft magazines from the same publisher, is available to me from my county's online library as one of their digital subscriptions. Many other UK watchers may be able to find it in their library's online offering as well.
First video of yours I've come across. I'm drooling over all the boxed goodies. Yes the wheel on the handle is for marking darts and such things from a pattern. It was used with a heavy reusable paper that went on top of the fabric. You ran the wheel over it. The paper came in several different colors. Buttons of value won't be if you shanks off for journaling. Lots of ivory items. Cufflinks are likely to be gold. Scented paper may have also been used for asthma. They probably have value. Most of the items in there do. Such treasures!!
I recognize the small brush--would have been for applying mascara - my Mother(born 1921) used the dry version of mascara that came in a tiny box with a brush. She hated it because it tended to splatter mascara since you had to add drops of water and work it into a messy paste with the brush and then apply. Snaps and hooks were always sewn to the back of dress necks as a closure above the zip and sometimes to the waistband of a skirt or snaps/poppers were used. Since these frequently came off in wearing the item, had to be replaced-hence the large variety of sizes and colors. The hem tape in the other drawer was always sewn to the bottom of a skirt/dress and that was used to make the hem less bulky when hand sewing the hem. No one would have used a shirt tail hem to finish a skirt or dress as it was considered lazy or an inferior finish for clothing.
Thank you for all that information, I remember my Mum spitting on her mascara block now you mention it 😂 from what Ghislaine has told me, her sister would definitely have done things 'properly' as you describe. I don't know what she would have made of my 'slapdash' style but I hope she would have been happy for me to have and use her things ❤️
What a lovely joy to see your beautiful wooden chest and all the contents! Thank you for sharing your treasures with us … a special excited moment for me when I spotted that pale blue tin of “Dorcas” pins! The pins of childhood, learning to sew and I have my mother’s tin, just the same as the one in your box. That felt so lovely to see. Then came the little magnifier and a lovely memory of my Dad who used such a glass in his artisanship as a lithographic proofer. I also wanted to let you know I was able to borrow the quilting journal digitally from my local library so have been able to read the lovely article about you and your work. 🧡X
I collect vintage sewing crocheting supplies ! I use them also ! I also love the vintage packaging! Reminds me of being a little girl and my mom or grandma sewing! My grandma had a foot paddle machine and she taught me to use it when I was 5! A lovely older neighbor taught me to tatting! I am trying to remember how to tattin! That DMC wooden box is lovely!
Hello Keela, what a lovely memory of your grandma teaching you to sew. I also have an old Singer treadle that I got in a junk shop years ago. After a good clean up, it works a treat though I mostly hand sew these days. I must show it to you all one day. ❤️
Loved reading the magazine article about you Kathryn ... a great range of your works displayed too. Well done on your growing audience. Thank you for it all❤
She had so many poppers because in the day making button holes with your sewing machine was a challenge. I love that you call them poppers…we call them snaps. Love this review. I’ve collected many old sewing and knitting tools. Thanks.
I have a beautiful piece of paper ephemera you take a large sheet of paper and arrange all your little sewing things all over the page and you place your camera directly overhead I used a tripod to tilt my camera down and take pictures of all these things in my family. But I’ve also bought them from scrapbooking stores where they have made them. I started with all the things my mother had in her top dresser, drawer powder, boxes, jewelry, a knife that belong to her great grandfather, who was a woodsman of the world. Did all of my dad’s military stuff this would be a lovely way to commemorate this box.
Not lace bobbins but ivory awls used for making eyelet holes to stitch around, 😅the hole in end for threading drawstrings through made of ivory turn of 1900’s or earlier did not see a lace bobbin I am a lacemaker of 50 yrs Bobbin lace and needle made laces plus I have a collection of ivory sewing tools from 1800’s and early 1900 Hope this helps 🥰
Thank you Susan that's wonderful, I knew someone here would know ☺️ I am going to try making eyelet holes in linen with one. Also the hole in one end means I can hang them on my journals as someone else suggested. You are all so knowledgeable and helpful and it's greatly appreciated ❤️
Hello Susan! I live in the USA and have made bobbin lace for so many years as well! Not 50, but many. Kindred spirits. I agree, the ivory sewing tools. It is what I have said as well.
@@k3n.clothtales I spin the ivory awl as I insert it in the linen which aids the whole getting larger without breaking any threads if you change your mind you can scratch the cloth back to close the hole as I said the ivory awl being spun doesn’t break any threads 🥰
I have many ivory sewing and lace tools including ivory lace bobbins which were much easier to come by 50 years ago and I use these treasures for their intended purpose not as a decoration they are also sought after by lacemakers and hand stitchers the world over and would fetch a high price 🥰
Wow K3n quel précieux trésor ❤DMC BOX Contente pour vous d’avoir un entrevu dans le Magazine Today’s Quilting Il n’est pas encore arrivé au Québec!! J’attends avec impatience Encore un énorme merci Dire Combien vous me faites du bien avec Votre bonne humeur 🥰 Et votre magnifique travail Merciiiii ❤
Ohhhhhh!!!!!❤❤❤❤ What a delightful and absolute Treasure!!!!🥰 Beautiful box and the little original boxes the threads are in!!! Oh what a treat!!! Merci for sharing this!!! How wonderful!!!❤❤❤
The first three large bone items were for opening up and smoothing out the holes in Broderie anglaise. The little hook could have been used for tambour embroidery, or mending runs in silk stockings. The last unidentified item might be a lace bobbin, but it was shown for such a short time, it's hard to tell. What a lovely treasure you have inherited there.
What a treasure. My grandmother had a table with a little drawer full of sewing odds and ends which I loved playing with as a little girl. I still love a drawer or box of bits and treasures
Those little papers for burning sound like Lady Macbeth’s “all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand”. Thanks for such a fascinating video.
Love all your new old treasures! The wheely thing with the red handle is a tracing wheel, I have one from my home economics class in high school. I remember making marks for darts in a dress with it.
What a beautiful box, I'm sure you'll have fun with it. I have gotten quite a few boxes and stashes of old sewing things at auction. It's so fun to go through.
Love your special gift. The round roller is a tracing wheel for use with tracing paper that has was colors on the paper. It will allow you to trace the cutting and sewing lines from a pattern onto your fabric.
that tailors thimble is awesome and old! I use my great grandmothers all the time. the closed top thimbles I have no use for, never feel comfortable with those lol ,what a find of family treasure
Such a wonderful box you have been gifted. I had to put you on hold while I searched the DMC history, which is fascinating. A philanthropic man who built a village for his staff similar to Cadbury or was it Bournville?. Thank you so much for showing us your DMC box.
I wrote you this long comment from my iPad this morning and somehow it disappeared! So your box is fantastic, and I would say it was in an old time shop, guessing it's pretty old, I wonder, 75 years? I have one too, mine is 4 drawers but not anywhere near as beautiful as yours! Mine is about 40+ years old. I bought it from my fav sewing shop that was going out of business. The drawers are deeper and mine had embroidery floss skeins in it. It did have plastic section things in the drawers, long gone now. I will have Brian take a pic, it's home in PA. I love the DMC embroidery thread and that is my preferred thread for applique. I can't find the thread that I have anymore and it likely came from the same shop. CONGRATULATIONS on the magazine! I've always wanted to write an article for a magazine and just never have followed through! 💜
Hey Jer, I googled and found one on Etsy identical but with one extra drawer which said 1930s. That would fit with my Aunt's sister's age. Looking forward to seeing your one. Thank you for the congratulations 😁❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your treasure box! It makes me think of the woman who owned it and how she neatly organized her things. As you touched them, I wondered if she ever had any idea of the box being passed on so lovingly. Truly a treasure!
My pleasure, it's wonderful to feel a connection through her possessions although I never knew her. I don't know what she would have thought of the kind of stitching I do though 😁♥️
Super surprise ! On découvre à chaque tiroir des anciens fils des vieilles agraphes des pressions des rubans extra fort vraiment une mercerie très bientôt ancienne et très rare actuellement on ne voit pas beaucoup !! Merci pour le partage je suis très contente et j'aime beaucoup ❤❤
Oh my goodness........ a true treasure box. And..... you are the perfect recipient of this wonderful gift because you will appreciate and treasure all of the contents - not only the beautiful threads and needles and poppers..... but also the boxes and the cards and labels and papers. Oh my........ Enjoy it all Kathryn !!!!!
What a magical treasure trove.I love and collect vintage haberdashery so this was lovely to watch. I have purchased - on previous times spent in France - Papier d’Armenie which is a paper incense. I love the old style of the little booklets. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Ooh k3n your new treasures are just fabulous and the box itself is absolutely stunning! So very special 🩷 The spiked wheel is called a tracing wheel and I learned to use one when I studied fashion and textile design. It is invaluable when transferring from a drafted paper pattern to a cardboard block. Thank you so much for sharing and very warm congratulations on the beautiful looking article in quilter magazine. Wishing you very happy sorting and nesting into your new thread box ❤ 😀 Ps. There are many instances where a tracing wheel is helpful in pattern making and in journaling as well I imagine.
The tiny sewing tools are well organized in that chest you are given. I keep mine in a multi tier box containers. Wish l could come across something similar to that wonderful gift from ur auntie.
As soon as I saw this lovely box, I thought, Marian's boxes now have some envy competition. I am now seriously guilty of one of the seven deadly sins!!!
Congratulations on the article - so pleased more people can share your work and delight in it as we do. I keep a nail file in my kit so I can remove any burrs on needles; razor blades for cutting machine made button holes; one of the corks I would immediately use for the hole in the bottom of my granny's silver pepper pot we have long been unable to use because the corks can't be found any more; I guess the smelly stuff would slow down any cotton or silk munching wild life which may have strayed into the box! Wonderful video thank you.
Thank you for the thought on the nail file and the razor blades, others have said also that she might have used them as seam rippers. If you can private message me on Facebook or Instagram, and let me know your address, I can send you a couple of corks ❤️
What an absolute treasure! I've assimilated both my Grandmas and mums sewing boxes into my sewing parifinalia. I love that I am able to use their things, it brings them closer to me. And oh yes! So, so many hooks & eyes and press studs!
I was thinking along the same lines, that when we are given or bequeathed someone’s sewing box there are probably things in it that were themselves inherited from earlier generations, like ivory items and button hooks. It’s an awesome thought.
Drooling and feeling like one of those cartoon drawings of a dog when they see food / playmate : the ears flip up, the eyes pop out like hearts etc. Absolutely treasure with a capital TR. And in wonderful hands now instead of tucked away in a closet. I do want to see you use those poppers !🍀💖😍🤩😻
The wheel is used for marking darts, in clothing patterns. On the wrong side of fabric, you placed a piece of washable ink type of paper, and roll the wheel over the dart marking on the paper, and onto the fabric.
Most of them if they were covered with knitted cloth, the ampules were used for swooning if you felt faint, or you did faint, they would crush the vile and run it under your nose. It was full of ammonia, dreadful stuff. My mother used them because I had epilepsy.
Hi there…. I have one of the red handled tracing wheels, I got it as a teenager whenI learnt to sew about 40 years ago in New Zealand. It came with several sheets of coloured paper that had a transferable coating on it. These were placed between the paper sewing pattern and your fabric and you used the wheel to mark out darts, seam lines, gathers etc

Nesthäkchen is a german term for the youngest child. And it is also a famous book series from 100 years ago. My grandmother had those books as a child, but she lost them during WW2.

The wooden tiny hook is called a stiletto needle. The pizza cutter-looking tool is a tracing wheel. I use mine perforating paper stamps. It makes it easy to tear. Lovely gift from your Aunt. She would be delighted to know you inherited it and are using it. Congratulations on being featured in the magazine ~Terri 😊
Thank you Terri, I am going to try the wheel on paper, it might be nice for journal making ❤️
Wow great to see you in the magazine. As for the razor blades my grandmother used them for a seam ripper. Works great.
Thank you, yes others have said they use razor blades as seam rippers, not sure I would be able to 😁❤️
Wow Kathryn what a beautiful box and full of treasures. It couldn’t have gone to a more worthy person - you’re Auntie got it right giving it to you. How exciting!
Thank you so much! 😊
What a treasure! So beautiful and full of memories. My Mum had the Dewey pin tin - a memory I didn't know I had until I saw yours..
Congratulations on being in the magazine!

Thank you Mary ☺️
I remember my mother having the same pin tin! Very nostalgic 😊 xx
And.... CONGRATULATIONS on your magazine article👏🏻👏🏻💕💕
Thank you!!
What a lucky gift Katherine! Thank you for sharing your beautiful DMC box and what a treasure it is.
I’m sure it will find a good home in your hands. 💕
Thank you 😊
Kathryn, I Love this gorgeous box….couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person🌻 Many moons ago in my dressmaking days I used a tracing wheel religiously. After cutting the pattern, you put special carbon paper underneath the fabric and trace the stitching line on top. Then you take the pattern off, turn it all over and trace the other side. It was a very handy tool and made for accurate stitching. These days I’ve embraced the wonky side of my soul and only stitch in a wonky intuitive way so dressmaking has gone out the window to be replaced by slow stitching. Waiting with abated breath for tomorrow’s project - only one more sleep to go 👏👏👏💜 Cath
Hello Cath, I am glad you have embraced the wonky and I hope you enjoy tomorrow's video 😁❤️
Beautiful box, and I already got the magazine, very nice article about you. Thank you for showing! The thing with the serrated (?) wheel on it is called in Dutch a radeerwieltje, for copying sewing patterns out of magazines (with multiple sizes) on paper, you get little holes in the paper, so you can copy and cut the patterns to your size. Nowadays I use a transparant paper for copying, but in the past I have used it.
Now they use those little wheels on printed paper to mimic the look of postage stamps
Hi …also if the serrated wheel spikes are blunt it was used with carbon paper to transfer markings to fabric, eg. darts. The blunted spikes wouldn’t damage your fabric. I have both types that belonged to my mum. I remember making stamps on a hand cranked sewing machine when I was a kid.
Thank you I am going to experiment with it on paper for my journals ❤️
The most wonderful gift to you from your aunt :) 💝
What a special gift!!! Yes, our sewing baskets tell our story!
I've been missing your videos as the farm has kept me from all my art. 😢 But the garden and fields are an art in their own right.
That is so true, and they don't stop growing ♥️
Loved this very special video, thank you for sharing the beautiful gift from your Aunt. She gave it to the right person 💕🌸💕
I curate tin boxes full of sewing notioins and treasures ... your box inspires!! Congrats on the publication too!
Thank you Renee ❤️
Kathryn, please don’t ever stop wittering, I love listening to you when you’re wittering. 😂. I don’t use thimbles either. You could drill a tiny hole in the thimbles and use them as bobbles in your journals. The red handled thingy (don’t know its actual name) is exactly what you thought it is, for marking cloth for tailoring.
Thank you Sue, great idea for the thimbles ❤️
I've recently inherited my late mum's wooden sewing box, 2 pull out drawers, very 80's. Not full of vintage treasures such as yours but sentimental stuff I remember from my childhood. I'll treasure it 4ever.
Hello Sandra, these things are so special because of the memories attached to them. I am so sorry for your loss ❤️❤️❤️
What a nice Treasure! Papier d’Arabie might be papier d’Arménie and fonction. Happy making.
I have several Dorcas metal tins, one is twice the depth. I also have a plastic one. Mine came from my mother and with old sewing machines I’ve bought. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful treasure ❤
What a treasure!!! I'm so happy you shared this with us.
Greetings from GiGi In Vintage. Alma, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Seeing this treasure box is indeed a time capsule. My advice for such history is to NOT disturb its contents. Simple enjoy how it's laid out in liitle boxes with special items in each.
Why 'empty' it out? It's all too nice to disturb. Sometimes, our Blessings come in these little boxes meant to be treasured just as they are and used and admired.
It was lovely to see all this.
Thank you for sharing.

Hello, I have kept it as it is for now and I do understand what you mean but I think that now I have the video as a record, it's nice to actually use it myself and add another layer to its story. ❤️
Almost forgot to tell you CONGTRATULATIONS on the article in the quilting magazine. So nice to see your picture and lovely art with an article.
Thank you so much!
Oh my how beautiful. I can just see this sitting next to a rocker and her sewing away in front of a fire! I think that little screen thing is a custom button that you wrap fabric circle around. There was a small round insert that pushes and snaps the fabric into the back of the button form. The mini “pizza cutter” looks like a tracing wheel. There are small pieces of waxy paper with assorted colors. Place the tracing paper on top of fabric, then place pattern piece on top, then trace the outline of a dart or other markings and the image is transferred to the fabric for sewing guides. My tool was plastic, so it is lovely to see the original wood/metal style. Thank you for sharing. I very much enjoyed this! Oh also have never seen such a large quarter size snap! How unique! ❤
@@emilasmith4279 thank you for the button info, a few people have told me about the tracing wheel but you are the first about the button 😁 and yes those huge snaps are amazing aren't they ❤️
In fact, Kathryn, I have an “oh yes!” about a lot of things in your box, because my mum gave me one (not a DMC box).
The little wheelie tool -to use with coloured wax paper to transfer marks from a paper pattern onto cloth, or possibly with tailor’s chalk. I have one and have used it when dressmaking but several decades ago, so I might be mistaken !
Thank you for sharing your exploration with us. Really lovely.
Thank you Nina, I am sure that is what it is. I might try to mark paper with it for use in journals ❤️
What an amazing gift from your Auntie! I really enjoyed watching you show us this treasure - what a wonderful box of goodies. LOVED seeing inside - I adore all vintage sewing things and have quite a few hook and eye and press stud cards myself - as you say they are amazing-pre Velcro!!🤪
Yes! And so much nicer than velcro 😁❤️
the box is gorgeous just love it, know you will cherish it
Thank you, I certainly will ❤️
Ooh,what a gorgeous box,and so full of wonderful treasure! I love the pretty little pin tin.Especially love your favourite drawer too!
Thanks so much 😊
WOW!!!! That was very fascinating to watch you go through each drawer. That DMC box is very much a TREASURE! It went to the perfect person. Congratulation on your magazine article. Now I will need to get a copy! THANK YOU so much for showing & sharing!!!❤❤❤❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Oh that is such a treasure trove of vintage sewing paraphernalia! Beautiful box!
FYI Today's Quilter, and various other craft magazines from the same publisher, is available to me from my county's online library as one of their digital subscriptions. Many other UK watchers may be able to find it in their library's online offering as well.
@@andreals3922 thank you, that's good to know. I will mention it next time I am filming, providing I remember 😁❤️
First video of yours I've come across. I'm drooling over all the boxed goodies. Yes the wheel on the handle is for marking darts and such things from a pattern. It was used with a heavy reusable paper that went on top of the fabric. You ran the wheel over it. The paper came in several different colors. Buttons of value won't be if you shanks off for journaling. Lots of ivory items. Cufflinks are likely to be gold. Scented paper may have also been used for asthma. They probably have value. Most of the items in there do. Such treasures!!
Hello Kathy, I am happy you found me. ♥️ Yes indeed there is so much treasure. That is interesting about the paper being used for asthma. Welcome 🤗
Thank you for showing us the treasure.
I recognize the small brush--would have been for applying mascara - my Mother(born 1921) used the dry version of mascara that came in a tiny box with a brush. She hated it because it tended to splatter mascara since you had to add drops of water and work it into a messy paste with the brush and then apply. Snaps and hooks were always sewn to the back of dress necks as a closure above the zip and sometimes to the waistband of a skirt or snaps/poppers were used. Since these frequently came off in wearing the item, had to be replaced-hence the large variety of sizes and colors. The hem tape in the other drawer was always sewn to the bottom of a skirt/dress and that was used to make the hem less bulky when hand sewing the hem. No one would have used a shirt tail hem to finish a skirt or dress as it was considered lazy or an inferior finish for clothing.
Thank you for all that information, I remember my Mum spitting on her mascara block now you mention it 😂 from what Ghislaine has told me, her sister would definitely have done things 'properly' as you describe. I don't know what she would have made of my 'slapdash' style but I hope she would have been happy for me to have and use her things ❤️
One of my earliest memories is of seeing my mum spitting into her mascara box before applying it. I would have been around 3years old.
What a lovely joy to see your beautiful wooden chest and all the contents! Thank you for sharing your treasures with us … a special excited moment for me when I spotted that pale blue tin of “Dorcas” pins! The pins of childhood, learning to sew and I have my mother’s tin, just the same as the one in your box. That felt so lovely to see. Then came the little magnifier and a lovely memory of my Dad who used such a glass in his artisanship as a lithographic proofer. I also wanted to let you know I was able to borrow the quilting journal digitally from my local library so have been able to read the lovely article about you and your work. 🧡X
That's lovely to hear that you could read the article and I am so happy to share memories ❤️
I collect vintage sewing crocheting supplies ! I use them also ! I also love the vintage packaging! Reminds me of being a little girl and my mom or grandma sewing! My grandma had a foot paddle machine and she taught me to use it when I was 5! A lovely older neighbor taught me to tatting! I am trying to remember how to tattin! That DMC wooden box is lovely!
Hello Keela, what a lovely memory of your grandma teaching you to sew. I also have an old Singer treadle that I got in a junk shop years ago. After a good clean up, it works a treat though I mostly hand sew these days. I must show it to you all one day. ❤️
Loved reading the magazine article about you Kathryn ... a great range of your works displayed too. Well done on your growing audience. Thank you for it all❤
@@sandrafitzpatrick4225 my pleasure Sandra, and thank you, Anne did a lovely job with the article ❤️
She had so many poppers because in the day making button holes with your sewing machine was a challenge. I love that you call them poppers…we call them snaps. Love this review. I’ve collected many old sewing and knitting tools. Thanks.
@@johannapfeiffer6676 my pleasure, yes I am sure you are right about the 'poppers' 😁♥️
I have a beautiful piece of paper ephemera you take a large sheet of paper and arrange all your little sewing things all over the page and you place your camera directly overhead I used a tripod to tilt my camera down and take pictures of all these things in my family. But I’ve also bought them from scrapbooking stores where they have made them. I started with all the things my mother had in her top dresser, drawer powder, boxes, jewelry, a knife that belong to her great grandfather, who was a woodsman of the world. Did all of my dad’s military stuff this would be a lovely way to commemorate this box.
Oh that's a fabulous idea, thank you so much. I also make journals and that would be wonderful to include ❤️❤️❤️
Not lace bobbins but ivory awls used for making eyelet holes to stitch around, 😅the hole in end for threading drawstrings through made of ivory turn of 1900’s or earlier did not see a lace bobbin I am a lacemaker of 50 yrs Bobbin lace and needle made laces plus I have a collection of ivory sewing tools from 1800’s and early 1900
Hope this helps 🥰
Thank you Susan that's wonderful, I knew someone here would know ☺️ I am going to try making eyelet holes in linen with one. Also the hole in one end means I can hang them on my journals as someone else suggested. You are all so knowledgeable and helpful and it's greatly appreciated ❤️
Hello Susan! I live in the USA and have made bobbin lace for so many years as well! Not 50, but many. Kindred spirits.
I agree, the ivory sewing tools. It is what I have said as well.
@@k3n.clothtales I spin the ivory awl as I insert it in the linen which aids the whole getting larger without breaking any threads if you change your mind you can scratch the cloth back to close the hole as I said the ivory awl being spun doesn’t break any threads 🥰
I have many ivory sewing and lace tools including ivory lace bobbins which were much easier to come by 50 years ago and I use these treasures for their intended purpose not as a decoration they are also sought after by lacemakers and hand stitchers the world over and would fetch a high price 🥰
Wow K3n quel précieux trésor ❤DMC BOX

Ohhhhhh!!!!!❤❤❤❤ What a delightful and absolute Treasure!!!!🥰 Beautiful box and the little original boxes the threads are in!!! Oh what a treat!!! Merci for sharing this!!! How wonderful!!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🤗
The first three large bone items were for opening up and smoothing out the holes in Broderie anglaise. The little hook could have been used for tambour embroidery, or mending runs in silk stockings. The last unidentified item might be a lace bobbin, but it was shown for such a short time, it's hard to tell. What a lovely treasure you have inherited there.
Thank you so much ♥️
What a treasure. My grandmother had a table with a little drawer full of sewing odds and ends which I loved playing with as a little girl. I still love a drawer or box of bits and treasures
It's a real treasure trove 😁❤️
Those little papers for burning sound like Lady Macbeth’s “all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand”. Thanks for such a fascinating video.
My pleasure, love the quote ❤️
I have one of those Dorcas tins for pins. Have had it for years.
Love all your new old treasures! The wheely thing with the red handle is a tracing wheel, I have one from my home economics class in high school. I remember making marks for darts in a dress with it.
Thanks for the info! Someone suggested using it to mark paper for my journals so I am going to try that ❤️
What a beautiful box, I'm sure you'll have fun with it. I have gotten quite a few boxes and stashes of old sewing things at auction. It's so fun to go through.
@@poodlegirl55 it really is Gloria ❤️
Ooh! Cool ephemera, that's for sure! What a treasure!
Fast forward conquers anticipation
Love your special gift. The round roller is a tracing wheel for use with tracing paper that has was colors on the paper. It will allow you to trace the cutting and sewing lines from a pattern onto your fabric.
@@sharonrimsza7960 thank you ❤️
Love the vintage sewing notions and tools!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Hello Zoe and welcome 🤗
that tailors thimble is awesome and old! I use my great grandmothers all the time. the closed top thimbles I have no use for, never feel comfortable with those lol ,what a find of family treasure
Thank you, it's a tailor's thimble, of course 😁❤️
Such a wonderful box you have been gifted. I had to put you on hold while I searched the DMC history, which is fascinating. A philanthropic man who built a village for his staff similar to Cadbury or was it Bournville?. Thank you so much for showing us your DMC box.
Yes I had read that too on the DMC website. I think you can visit but I am not sure ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales that would certainly be an interesting place to visit. The video on their website site was fascinating to watch .
I wrote you this long comment from my iPad this morning and somehow it disappeared! So your box is fantastic, and I would say it was in an old time shop, guessing it's pretty old, I wonder, 75 years? I have one too, mine is 4 drawers but not anywhere near as beautiful as yours! Mine is about 40+ years old. I bought it from my fav sewing shop that was going out of business. The drawers are deeper and mine had embroidery floss skeins in it. It did have plastic section things in the drawers, long gone now. I will have Brian take a pic, it's home in PA. I love the DMC embroidery thread and that is my preferred thread for applique. I can't find the thread that I have anymore and it likely came from the same shop.
CONGRATULATIONS on the magazine! I've always wanted to write an article for a magazine and just never have followed through! 💜
Hey Jer, I googled and found one on Etsy identical but with one extra drawer which said 1930s. That would fit with my Aunt's sister's age. Looking forward to seeing your one. Thank you for the congratulations 😁❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your treasure box! It makes me think of the woman who owned it and how she neatly organized her things. As you touched them, I wondered if she ever had any idea of the box being passed on so lovingly. Truly a treasure!
My pleasure, it's wonderful to feel a connection through her possessions although I never knew her. I don't know what she would have thought of the kind of stitching I do though 😁♥️
Beautiful box full of treasure ❤❤❤😊
Super surprise ! On découvre à chaque tiroir des anciens fils des vieilles agraphes des pressions des rubans extra fort vraiment une mercerie très bientôt ancienne et très rare actuellement on ne voit pas beaucoup !! Merci pour le partage je suis très contente et j'aime beaucoup ❤❤
Merci Houria ❤️
Oh my goodness........ a true treasure box. And..... you are the perfect recipient of this wonderful gift because you will appreciate and treasure all of the contents - not only the beautiful threads and needles and poppers..... but also the boxes and the cards and labels and papers. Oh my........ Enjoy it all Kathryn !!!!!
Thank you so much ♥️
What a magical treasure trove.I love and collect vintage haberdashery so this was lovely to watch. I have purchased - on previous times spent in France - Papier d’Armenie which is a paper incense. I love the old style of the little booklets. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Hello Christine, I think I will burn one just to see how it smells and keep the rest, they are so beautiful ❤️
Drooling with envy 😮such a gorgeous gift!
I am so lucky ❤️
What a treasure! I love looking for things like this at second hand shops!
@@debrarodriguezestrada2748 I am so lucky to have it ♥️
What a beautiful gift. Thank you for sharing.
Ooh k3n your new treasures are just fabulous and the box itself is absolutely stunning! So very special 🩷
The spiked wheel is called a tracing wheel and I learned to use one when I studied fashion and textile design. It is invaluable when transferring from a drafted paper pattern to a cardboard block.
Thank you so much for sharing and very warm congratulations on the beautiful looking article in quilter magazine.
Wishing you very happy sorting and nesting into your new thread box ❤ 😀
Ps. There are many instances where a tracing wheel is helpful in pattern making and in journaling as well I imagine.
Thank you so much for the idea for the wheel, I will have a play with it on some paper ♥️
I have my aunts cardboard one full of old magicxxx
Magnifique beautiful gift ❤🙂🇨🇵🇦🇺
The tiny sewing tools are well organized in that chest you are given. I keep mine in a multi tier box containers. Wish l could come across something similar to that wonderful gift from ur auntie.
@@TanSiewcheng it's lovely to think of her organising all her bits and pieces isn't it ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales yes
As soon as I saw this lovely box, I thought, Marian's boxes now have some envy competition.
I am now seriously guilty of one of the seven deadly sins!!!
Horseshoe box = Pocket shape
What fun, sharing treasures!
Yes! How wonderful, I hadn't made the connection ❤️
Congratulations on the article - so pleased more people can share your work and delight in it as we do. I keep a nail file in my kit so I can remove any burrs on needles; razor blades for cutting machine made button holes; one of the corks I would immediately use for the hole in the bottom of my granny's silver pepper pot we have long been unable to use because the corks can't be found any more; I guess the smelly stuff would slow down any cotton or silk munching wild life which may have strayed into the box! Wonderful video thank you.
Thank you for the thought on the nail file and the razor blades, others have said also that she might have used them as seam rippers. If you can private message me on Facebook or Instagram, and let me know your address, I can send you a couple of corks ❤️
What an absolute treasure! I've assimilated both my Grandmas and mums sewing boxes into my sewing parifinalia. I love that I am able to use their things, it brings them closer to me. And oh yes! So, so many hooks & eyes and press studs!
I agree, our hands touching what their hands touched ❣️
I was thinking along the same lines, that when we are given or bequeathed someone’s sewing box there are probably things in it that were themselves inherited from earlier generations, like ivory items and button hooks. It’s an awesome thought.
Drooling and feeling like one of those cartoon drawings of a dog when they see food / playmate : the ears flip up, the eyes pop out like hearts etc. Absolutely treasure with a capital TR. And in wonderful hands now instead of tucked away in a closet. I do want to see you use those poppers !🍀💖😍🤩😻
Hello Machteld, I now have that image of you in my head, with the Scooby Doo sound effects 😂 and yes I will show you when I use some poppers 😁❤️
@@k3n.clothtales hahaha ok, I take full responsibility for that image! 💖🍀
It is so beautiful ❤ What a treasure 🧵🪡🧵
Yes the little mini wheel (pizza wheel) is for using with a waxed, colored paper and marks darts, etc. for garment making.
The wheel is used for marking darts, in clothing patterns. On the wrong side of fabric, you placed a piece of washable ink type of paper, and roll the wheel over the dart marking on the paper, and onto the fabric.
Most of them if they were covered with knitted cloth, the ampules were used for swooning if you felt faint, or you did faint, they would crush the vile and run it under your nose. It was full of ammonia, dreadful stuff. My mother used them because I had epilepsy.
Hi there…. I have one of the red handled tracing wheels, I got it as a teenager whenI learnt to sew about 40 years ago in New Zealand. It came with several sheets of coloured paper that had a transferable coating on it. These were placed between the paper sewing pattern and your fabric and you used the wheel to mark out darts, seam lines, gathers etc
Thank you I am going to experiment with it on paper to use in my journals ♥️
Good morning! I clicked like 👍 in a hurry. I love the box!
