A few years ago I was gifted with a random box of sewing things. Our of it came a wonderful quilt - well, a top that I finished and gave back to the original owner of the box. Otherwise, the contents of the box sat in my sewing room. Once I took out a zipper but that's it. It's time to move on. There are absolutely wonderful little treasures in the box, but they need to go to a more interested home.
Check out my Etsy shop for a complete listing of items for sale from the box. Listings include vintage quilting fabric scraps, dress making scraps, notions, patterns, and clothing. A few items of clothing are finished, most are not. The unfinished ones generally need waistbands or closures only. And the collection of materials in incredible.
I'll admit, I was tempted to keep some of the clothing and use them for fabric, but I just couldn't do it. So much work had already gone into them that I couldn't bear to cut them up. But if you want to after purchasing then go for it!
After shipping and handling I will be donating 50% of the proceeds to Little Warriors. My neighbours that passed on the box were supporters of that charity so it seemed appropriate.
Speaking of shipping. I know it is expensive. Thank you Canada Post. If you buy multiple items I will adjust shipping based on real cost after purchase (issuing refunds, if necessary). And if you are local and want to pick up, then there will be no shipping!
Now, just a tease of what is available for purchase in the shop.

I hope the etsy destash goes well for you and for the charity.
I love the vintage dress! The style and design is lovely. It will certainly fit the look of any pin-up enthusiast lady. Anyway, what do you have in mind with the tropical-looking one printed with strawberries? I'd love to see what you have in store for us, Cheryl. More power to you!

I'm glad that there are people like you who advocates charity for children who have traumatic past. By the way, those vintage clothes and other handmade quilts are very lovely! I'm hoping for the success of your business, so you may continue to help those people who are in need. Kudos to you, Cheryl!
