Kelly went through some of my mom’s sewing notions this week and discovered a few relics from a pre-fast fashion era when people used to repair, rather than throw out, their clothes.
For instance, when you bought a box of White King Granulated Soap you got a set of sewing needles.
My mom saved a lot of these needles. On a side note can we please bring back this period’s handsome graphic design?
She also saved these hosiery mending kits that look like match boxes.

My mom was tall and had to shop for clothes and shoes in specialty shops.
