Vintage Thingys Thursday

Since I've been sewing lately, I decided to post some of my vintage sewing and fiber craft vintage items.
This pic includes a potholder that I embroidered when I was a little girl. I still remember how thrilled I was!

Vintage sewing and crocheting

And this is the Sewing basket that my Pepere gave my Memere for their 1st wedding anniversary 1927. I also have my Memere's (grandmother's) ham and sleeve presser and other small things.

1st Wedding Ann. Gift from Ernest to Augustine Couture

I've been getting ready to make Christmas presents lately. On Sunday I'll post a plate flower how to!
