Neat little pincushion that is similar to one shown on page 20 of “Sewing Tools and Trinkets” by Helen Thompson!

The one in book shows a bird on a whale’s tale while this one is a cute brown owl perched on a turtle’s head.

Made of glass and in very good condition...

This is a cute little glass turtle with a pin cushion on his back!

Turtle measures 2 ½” tall (at tallest), 1 ¾” wide (at widest), and 3 1/8” long (at longest).

Excellent condition – no chips, no cracks! No discoloration -- that's camera flash/reflection in photo!

This listing has an unopened feed sack! It’s a white background with pink and gray floral design that I call windswept (that's what comes to mind when I look at it!).

Feed sack measures 21 ½” x 35” (these are closed measurements).

It is in super condition – no holes or tears but it does have a 1” x 1” light stain that may or may not launder out with pre-soak. I laundered the feed sack but did not pre-soak or use bleach (I do not use bleach on vintage fabric)...

This sampler is titled "Blue Onion" and is to be completed in shades of blue! The bottom of the material has "Columbia Minerva Corp." and the copyright date of 1972. The package has been opened and taped closed, with all pieces still inside the package. The package includes design stamped on linen fabric, embroidery floss, needle, and instructions...

I’ve grouped these vintage patterns into one listing! The sticky notes you see on the pattern envelopes are my notes made when I looked at the patterns – I didn’t want to forget between the time I looked at them and actually wrote the item description!

There is a Simplicity Doll pattern for a 20” size doll. The sleeping bag has been cut (2 pattern pieces), the rest of patterns are uncut...

Wow -- make your own rugs with these great vintage tools!

There are 3 metal braiding tools and 1 metal lacer. They are in the original envelope package with the original instruction sheet.

Per package -- "No Sewing, No Rough Edges, Braid a Rug in a Day -- Use Your Old Clothes...

This listing has very nice sewing/mending aids -- 2 wooden darners!

One is 5 3/4" long with a 3" handle and a more oblong shape end.

The other is 7" long with a 4 1/2" long handle and the end is more round (almost egg shape).

This listing has a cute little sewing case made by Hommer Manufacturing Company!

Sewing box is hard plastic, bottom is marbleized green color, lid is clear.

It measures 6 5/8" long, 4 1/2" wide, and 1 5/8" tall.

Neat item, very collectible and not your everyday find in this shape!

Lovely pattern on this feed sack – it’s a white background with little squares of pretty brown/tan checks that alternate with colorful flowers of yellow with brown leaves and purple and tan flowers with green leaves. Unusual!

This sack is a little smaller than others we have listed. It measures 33” long, 20” wide (approximately 40” when seam stitching is removed). It has not been cut or altered in any way, it’s just not as long as the other feed sacks...

We have listed many lovely and unusual feed sacks but this one is by far the most unusual! It has a purple/lilac color background and the design is alphabet letters U, V, W, X, Y, and Z!!

Interspersed throughout the feed sack are the letters V and X – they are white letters outlined in black and are interspersed with pretty white flowers with yellow centers.

The letters U, W, Y, and Z are yellow inside white squares and show an animal for those letters – “U is for Uni...

This is a colorful feed sack – red, pink, and white with blue fruit – and is from the same Indiana estate sale as the other feed sacks we’ve listed!

This one was not properly opened – it appears as though the thread was cut or torn instead of being pulled/unraveled causing the material to have a somewhat jagged top edge. Because of this, the sack measures 33” in length.

Side and bottom seam have not been removed/opened...

This feed sack is very colorful with a pretty pattern!

Feed sack has been incorrectly opened – I’m not certain how it occurred but it has an almost diagonal type seam/opening resulting in a “non-square”. It measures 47 ½” long and 38” wide but remember it’s not even/square.

Do not be deterred – this is a very pretty piece of vintage fabric...

Doesn’t this feed sack have an unusual pattern? It has a white background that’s almost completely covered with little blue diamonds, beige squares, and lime green color rectangles. Feed sack has been opened and measures 37” x 46”. Laundered, pressed, and in wonderful condition – I noticed a few stretched holes from the original heavy thread at top closure -- that's it! Nice!

Lovely and unusual pattern on this vintage feed sack!

It has a white background with a pattern of green clovers and blue flowers – very pretty.

Feed sack has been opened and measures approximately 37” x 42”.

It has been laundered, lightly starched and ironed (by me), and is from a smoke free environment.

Feed sack is in wonderful condition with a couple small holes/snags, minimal fabric loss...

I’ve grouped these two sewing items into one listing -- there’s a neat vintage tatting shuttle and a vintage thimble!

The shuttle is green plastic and was made by “The Boye Needle Co, Chicago”. It’s in very good condition with some places that appear to have been caused by a hot needle – probably by someone (not me!) checking to see if it was Bakelite -- it’s not.

The thimble is stamped “10, Germany”...

These are neat vintage patterns -- there are two Simplicity patterns and one Butterick!

The Butterick pattern is size 16 (bust 36), one Simplicity pattern is also size 16 and the other is size 16 ½ (Half-size Slenderette)!

They have been used/cut but carefully handled, folded and stored in original envelope.

Thank you for visiting Lin's Antiques at Cyberattic!

Shipping for these patterns is via insured first class mail; cost will show when you add item to your shop...

This is a super neat sewing box made by Hommer Manufacturing Company!

It’s a pretty marbleized blue color and has a clear removable tray.

Excellent condition!

Neat sewing box made by Hommer Manufacturing Company of Newark 5, New Jersey, USA!

It’s marbleized red color with clear plastic lid that shows two kittens playing with a ball of yarn. Box measures 8” x 6” (at bottom), lid is hinged and works great...
