In this Thrifty Thursday video I show you how you can find hidden treasures for slow stitching and craft room storage at the op shop or thrift store or charity shop depending where you live.

It’s always worth looking below the sure e of shelves and boxes to see what vintage slow stitching and craft supplies await.

I share some of my exciting recent finds. And show you two different ways to make special hand made buttons using my finds. Plus lots of ideas for what to make with your vintage hauls and stash.

I also share a package received from lovely Ngaire.

And as always, don’t forget to check out fellow fibre and textile creatives and artists:
