| Sewing Notions is the term used for threads, zips, fasteners, and all manner of mysterious things... Page updated, rebated, inspected, selected and not rejected, October 2024. Be aware that your image may not be a true colour... And that reels and the like are expensive to post, so maybe have a selection... | |||||||

| The following are vintage items. Don't expect them to be suitable for mending your jeans... Embroidery threads are clean and usable and unfaded as far as I can see, but please be aware that they may not be as colour-fast as modern threads Numbers in brackets indicate more than one available, otherwise all unique.. | |||||||
