Oh Claire! This was so much fun to watch. It took me back to my early days in the 70s. I would sit on the floor when my mothered sewed and I was allowed to unpack and repack her sewing box. I especially loved her button collection - she had so many! I would sit there for ages sorting buttons by colour, by size, by number of holes, shininess etc .... a very happy time for a little Autistic child. 💚
that sounds wonderful - i love organizing small things - after i filmed this i was able to put everything away in it's proper spot
Such a beautiful find!!! so fun to see all the different stuff!!! love love love this!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
What an amazing find! Felt like when my grandmother gives me old sewing/crochet boxes and they’re full of fun vintage items :)
it was so neat to be able to appreciate this persons things
The quality of the spools, wow. You could frame the sketch to decorate your studio!
so cool
As someone who is about to go through old family stuff to donate or toss, it does my heart good to know that things can find a good home like yours!!!!! ❤
yes i think some things are so important to be treasured
I love when I find thread on a wooden spool....I got an old sewing box with an old sewing machine and it was so awesome to go through
That is awesome!
I totally get the "time capsule"-fun, love to explore old things like that! And I have a lot of those extra-buttons😅
The "holder" could be something people use for knitting complicated patterns, saw equal in plastic. They are put in to count easier I guess. But didn't see it good enough on my phone, even I used fullscreen.
Btw my sewing-box is an old wooden I got from the flea market as a teenager.
yeah i have some newer metal stitch holders like that too
Aw, what a fun find
I had SO much fun watching this! (Can't believe I didn't watch this one sooner!) The combination of history and sentimentality that comes from looking through something like this just makes my heart feel so full. Thank you for sharing!
Claire, you're a girl after my own heart!
This is one of my favorite kinda finds.
It is like xmas,
discovering all those little treasures.
Plus, it's a time capsule into one housewife's life.
I would not doubt she is the artist &
I picture her out on the town
in her amazing handmade halter cocktail dress.
What color & fabric
do you think she would have chosen?
hUgz from Ohio, Lee
i think maybe in black with cream accents
classic, nice choice@@WoodshedTheory
Such an awesome discovery!
The old spools remind me of the ones my mom gave me that were my grandmother's. I still keep them with my sewing supplies.
Yes the wooden spools are a treasure
This is a fun find! I think the canvas trim stuff that there's a yard or so of is belting, like you cover in fabric to make a stable matching belt for your dress.
16:48 it looks similar to an item on Etsy wiith three rubber tracks instead of four that Claire's holding - listing description below:

oh that's a really cool find too! I've never heard of that before@@LOL-pe3ym
You both saved the day!
Love it !!!!
Such a cool find! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
So fun! ... I have some self-threading needles. They are good for quick jobs, but they are also self-unthreading, so frustrating if you are sewing a long time. Nice to have though.
yeah i think they would be good for a quick repair
Definitely a relaxing video for sure. You know me I love old stuff so this was right up my alley.
You said stockings but I was thinking of those 1950’s sock upholders that men used to wear under dress pants. They would go directly under your knee and attach to the socks.
The baby sock and drawing or design I should say are super cool. I had the same problem when I got my Addi and I had some of those straight yarn needles with the golden tops, but needed one with a bend so(don’t try this at home kids) I bend my own using two pairs of pliers. Worked out really well and then later I was thinking that was dangerous what if the needle breaks lol.
Very cool time capsule. I have a wooden box of my grandmas also with notions and other stuff in it. I left everything that was in there in there pretty cool.
ahh sock garters - i know what you are referring to. i'm glad i am not the only one to think that the plastic needle that comes with the knitting machine doesn't cut it.
This was such a neat video! Thank you for sharing! 😍💞
Glad you liked it!!
how cool is that box... but the bonus... is for sure the drawing! You have to frame it!!!!!!!!! =)
Right?! I need to find a frame for it
My mother had a sewing box like that.
Fun find!
We had an old button box when I was a kid that had buttons going back to at least the 30's. Maybe even earlier. It was passed down from my mom's side of the family. I loved looking at the old buttons. Unfortunately it got lost or stolen.
It is so fun looking at old buttons
WOW! What a cool find! I love stuff like this - a real treasure box. I once bought a tin of mixed buttons, beads & random craft stuff from ebay & spent ages sorting the contents & they're still being used! When I was little, I loved sorting my mother's sewing box, which was always a mess - something about taking it all out & putting it back in order really soothed me. Thanks for sharing 💚
I totally get what you are saying. Sorting a sewing box is sooo regulating for me.
Organizing anything that is not mine soothed me!
That ebay tin sounds amazing! I have a button collection that I've been building and sorting since I was really little and was also thinking that finding something like that on ebay or at an estate sale would be such an amazing find!
@@pansyari It took ages - there were loads of tiny bits & pieces, so I did it over several weeks! I've not needed to buy any beads, or sequins, or buttons in years 🥰
Very cool drawing, might look nice framed in your office👗
Great idea!!
Cool idea!
Very nice!
I can't believe someone gave away art and a birth announcement!!
The thick trim stuff makes me think of a fabric belt... but can't see it that well so I'm not positive. My first thought was it was a belt though.
i think it was probably not done on purpose - or the person didn't have family.
@@WoodshedTheory Maybe. It's just sad that someone in the family doesn't have it. Whomever gave it away probably didn't even look through the box. 😞
@@ashleyien1222They were probably sorting through stuff in a hurry and didn't check the sewing box.
I love the fancy new camera work. And you've landed another great find!
Yay, thank you! Still learning new things all the time
Thanks! 👍 trying some new things

I keep all my extra buttons (over thirty years' worth 😅) in a box in the bedroom. I would feel bad throwing them away because they have not fulfilled their purpose yet 🪡😇
love it - plus buttons are expensive
Such a great treasure! :)
really fun
I appear to be a vintage autistic person, but I'm not sure if I'll ever be the subject of a 'show-and-tell.'
that's cool!
