If you've ever struggled with ideas to use your collection of vintage notions and treasures or your thrift shop finds—Vintage Modern Makers can help!

As a long-time collector myself and lover of all things vintage, I too have been overwhelmed with all the options out there and lack the motivation to make the most out of my collection.  It’s time to take our beautiful heirlooms and vintage treasures and modernize them for use in our everyday life. This course will give you a practical project to use not only buttons, but an opportunity to utilize fabrics from your collection as well.

Each workshop includes videos as well as PDF files to download and follow along. Here is what you can expect in each course:

  • Sewing projects with detailed patterns and video overviews
  • Artist and textile expert interviews
  • History lessons on the various notions and fabrics
  • Inspiration Albums to give you project ideas and to share treasures from my own collection
  • Heirloom printable art
  • Charming articles and uplifting essays from the Woman's Institute 
  • A community within the Vintage Modern Makers platform to share your makes, your collection, and connect with others

Wonderful, exciting treasures.  I love the project, and I must admit my very favorite was the amazing tour of the National Pearl Button Museum. So wonderful!

–Marcy M.

I have appreciated your work, Amy, for years! It seems like I have found the perfect group!  For many years I have "rescued" doilies, pieces of embroidery and any kind of vintage handwork I see.  I'm excited to be able to give them new life and let them exhibit their beauty in some way!
