A fabulous little round metal tin containing a travel sewing kit.
The tin contains two sewing needles on tricolor ribbon, a needle threader, four baby cocoons of polyester thread: (one white, one black, one beige and one sky blue), two small white shirt buttons and two safety pins
The tins open on one side with a small key, just like a tin of shoe polish.
Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
I was hesitant to purchase from overseas, I didn’t get the hype of this thread. However, after starting my tambour embroidery project I 100% see the why and I am so happy with the quality! Thank you Penelope I will be purchasing again ✨
The thread was perfect for stitching my signatures into the book cover. Brilliant service from Penelope Textiles. Would certainly use this company again
