New Tiny Butterflies & Buttons – Mini Sewing SALE
Filed under Fabric/Sewing, Shadowbox/Room Box, Shannon Cooper
How about some bright & colorful tiny trims for spring! Starting with the Mini Monarch Butterflies at right… so pretty! Flatback resin (with a bit of 3D profile on the front).
Lots of the new trims are buttons so I picked out a cute-as-a-button project to also include in today’s sale! Eye candy below. Between the new items, supplies from the artwork and some bonus sewing-themed goodies: over 50 items are on sale! AND there’s a FREE Gift Kit with all orders… details below.
25% off the Tiny Buttons & Sewing SALE collection (which includes all of today’s new items) through WEDNESDAY night, April 22nd! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
The Doll Maker’s Room by Shannon Cooper
I sooo love Shannon’s tiny, filled-to-the-brim sewing scene! Here’s a bit from her blog post:
Sometimes the smallest of things spark the greatest happiness. Whether it comes in the smile of a newborn baby, a kitty jumping in your lap for a snuggle, or an espresso macaron, finding joy in your everyday life is essential. Lots of times it is just there waiting for you to see it.
Joy presented itself to me via Alpha Stamps in the form of a 1:12 scale Vintage Sewing Table, which is nearly as nice as a warm kitty in your lap. The Vintage Sewing Table led to a 4 x 4 inch square room box to put the table, followed by a shelf… well, when it was all said and done, I had the makings of a little sewing room and I couldn’t have been happier.
I tweaked the idea of a sewing room into a little doll maker’s space early on, mostly after assembling the Tiny Spice Rack into a ribbon holder. Don’t ask how that translated into “doll maker’s studio” because I couldn’t tell you. It just sort of happened.
The 1:12 Wall-Mount Mail Holders Set (swoon!) were turned into bitty bins for fabric, patterns, button cards, and even a silly rabbit. I really love those holders! After assembling them, I slathered modeling paste over the surface with my finger, left them to dry, then painted the holders with white acrylic paint. They were sanded a bit, given a blotchy floral paint job, and finally aged with a smidgeon of watered down brown acrylic paint. They are pretty cute in a very rustic sort of way. It works here, I guess. I mimicked the paint job on the spice rack for cohesion.
Aside: see those cute cherries used as curtain tie-backs? They’re also part of the FREE Gift kit below!
I love how this project turned out! You can see more photos and read more on her blog post. Plus here’s Shannon’s supply list (all included in the sale, plus see the sale recap below for bonus sewing-themed items).

Aw… that close-up at left shows off the picnic basket sans handle (with a strawberry cab on the front), paper doll, book cover, and a 3D vintage game box that are kinda hard to see in the other photos (amongst all the cute busy-ness in this 4″ x 4″ space).
In addition to the new items and supplies from Shannon’s artwork, I picked out a bunch of sewing-themed goodies that I’ve added to the sale collection!
