Vintage Book Sewing Kit D.I.Y.

I asked Kinsey to create a travel sized sewing kit in a vintage book and I love what she came up with!

To make this cute vintage book sewing kit first take two large squares of wool fabric and sew them together. These will be your pages! Fold it in half and start attaching pockets and straps to hold all of your sewing tools!  Next, sew on a thin strip of wool on the back where the page folds. Cut out all of the pages in the book and apply a thick coat of glue to the strip of wool and attach it to the binding.  

There you have it! This sewing kit is perfect for traveling or hiding out on your bookshelf until you need it. Have a lovely day. Thank you, Kinsey. xo. elsie

oh oh oh! I don't think I could rip out the innards of such an old and lovely book. It would feel a little blasphemous.

(Although the new innards are completely darling -- spot on, Kinsey!)

This is darn adorable & a great way to upcycle a book!

this is absolutely adorable and perfect for all the loose buttons that I discover somewhere outside BUT NEVER at home :)

p.s. don't forget to take a thimble with you as well x)

I'd love the look on hubby's face when he realizes this one's not a book for reading.. Might have to make it just for the laugh :)
