Victorian Edwardian 1940 Sewing Tools Needle Cases Pincushions Books Catalogs

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.

Along with the sewing tools, The Gatherings Antique Vintage also carries antique and vintage "how-to" instruction books on lace making, crochet, tatting and knitting. We also have vintage sewing books, too, or other important sewing related items not found under the "lace, ribbon and sewing notion" category. Books, manuals, catalogs (including clothing and accessories catalogs) etc. dating from the Victorian through 1940's can also be found here.
