Antique vintage Early Americana ABC school girl samplers as well as wonderful cross stitched samplers from the 1920s through the 1950s are part of our great collection here at The Gatherings Antique Vintage. If you have a love for the embroidery and elaborate Berlin work ~ so Victorian ~ which date from the Civil War to 1890 you will find that here too.

Get ready to browse for all kinds of antique and vintage sewing items! This topic happens to be a favorite of mine especially the fancy work needle cases, pin keeps and pincushions. I do love anything made of cloth. You will also find sewing tools and sewing boxes here, too.

If you sew re-enactment or renaissance costumes, The Gatherings Antique Vintage is your perfect shopping stop for original laces, dress embellishments and sewing notions. It will certainly add a touch of authenticity to any costume. We also offer machine and handmade laces including bobbin, needle lace, tape lace, crochet, tatting and knitting.

Do you love old buttons as much as we do?? Old buttons tell such a story, whether or not they were actually used is irrelevant! Countless women shopped for just that perfect set of buttons for a particular outfit, back in the day when sewing one's clothes was not only a necessity but a mark of well bred artisan craftsmanship. The right buttons made the outfit. Along with the lace and other trims of course............

Antique and vintage fabrics have a wide range of uses, from tidbit scraps for quilt repair to unused yardage for retro home decorating. The Gatherings Antique Vintage carries country plain, fancy dress fabrics such as Victorian silks and satins, chiffons and crepes from the Flapper Era to the 1940's.

Antique Vintage School Girl Sewing Samplers

Antique vintage Early Americana ABC school girl samplers as well as wonderful cross stitched samplers from the 1920s through the 1950s are part of our great collection here at The Gatherings Antique Vintage. If you have a love for the embroidery and elaborate Berlin work ~ so Victorian ~ which date from the Civil War to 1890 you will find that here too.

The Gatherings Antique Vintage also carries book marks done in Berlin work or punched paper as it is sometimes called. I am told that many of these book marks were practice pieces done by children.

Not to be forgotten are plain sewing and practice samplers. Many ladies wanted to create and save small samples of crochet and knitting to refer to again. Some samples were stored loose inside a small box but many of these antique and vintage samplers were stitched to cloth or paper pages and made into a book form.

Today a sample book or even the loose samples are a delight to find and are certainly a testament to the skill of the needle worker.

    It is just the perfect lens page for an antique and vintage fabrics and styles lover like me. Some of the pillow covers and some of the other vintage material is just so gorgeous that it could easily have been a heritage craft. I hope you put more articles on how to build real lace and mesh patterns so that interested parties can look it up and try them out. Personally, I like lace and mesh lingerie. If I could learn how to make my own lace and mesh, I am sure that I could make some great patterns of my own.
    If you could do it for me, please give me some simple lace and mesh pattern from the vintage styles, maybe something that looks like a fishnet pattern, or something more intricate like a frilly lace pattern to line my bras and panties. There are some sites like lapeches.com that have some lingerie that is patterned with the style that I am mentioning but I'd rather do it myself so that I can keep my costs low and plus have the joy of putting together my own intimate lingerie. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out with my request.
