vintage treats + KCWC

do the 80s count as vintage?!!!

my mum came to visit a few weeks ago, and brought with her a few sewing bits and bobs which she's had in her cupboard for yonks! (she's a bit of a hoarder!)

all packed up in this cool tin

cool tin

filled with lace and broderie trims, some lace collars, cutout patches.....

cool tin, containing vintage trims

i think some of them came from my aunt who used to be a designer, and then had her own boutique.

and these cool tapes, i remember playing with these when i was a kid, not sure what to do with them though - any ideas? especially the number one?

and she also brought these beauties

80s Burda

Burda magazines from 1986! two in german and one in english (at least the german should be easier to figure out than the japanese craft books!)
