I have to admit that I have a strange obsession with all things 'haberdashery'. Last week my mother gave me these original packs of hooks and eyes and poppers and a huge box of buttons to rummage through. She has always been able to sew anything and always saved bits and bobs in case they are needed. My excitement was out of proportion to the gift. I will not be saving these for a sewing project - they are going to be framed!
