Vintage Needle Packets |
Look at these fun vintage sewing needle packets which my Aunt Hazel had in her sewing collection. In each of these fun themed packages you get lots of sewing needles. These packets of 60 to 100 needles feature gold eye needles, silver eye needles, rust proof and nickel plated. The packets also come with a needle threader, something I can't live without. I'm not going to run out of needles anytime soon.

Sewing Circle |

As you can see below, this packet labels the different types of needles that are included in the packet - hand sewing needles, darners, sewing needles and of course a threader. Love the threader! Not sure what the difference is between hand sewing needles and sewing needles.

Displaying these Colorful Needle Packets |
As for me, I like to display these colorful needle packets in my sewing room where I can enjoy them instead of keeping them in a canister hidden away. There are many more creative and artistic needle packets out there from days gone by - keep your eyes open for these beauties.
