Do you have a button story?
The scissors in my sewing box I have had since craft at school in I think grade 3 (maybe 7 years old). My sewing box is a Tupperware one I have had since I was probably about 15 or so. It still contains reels of cotton that have the plastic wrapping on them.
The packet of needles is the original packet from when I got the sewing box.
I raised 4 children, and I can mend something if I really must, but my mum used to visit and take care of my basket of mending.
These buttons are all in the box, ones that come as spares when you buy clothing. I am certain I do not own a single item of clothing these belong to. @koalagardens theme buttons. there I have some, and they are now back in the sewing box!
@koalagardens I love the photo. It’s a Fabulous Composition. Your story is so relatable, reminding me of many similarities in my own life. My mother used to do the same thing for me and sometimes my girls ask me to help them out in the same way. It does seem like magic in some ways doesn’t it?
Oh My Gosh! What a story to cover so many years & so many lives.
To think of the mending that was done with those "tools" in that box.
Thanks for the happy memories.! Big Fav
Tells the complete story. Love how the curves of thread and handles of the scissors add to the roundness of this and that you didn't include the entire scissors...I really like how you composed this. And love your story!
