High Shipping? ::: Buying multiple items? It's likely Etsy will add up shipping wrong and too high. I'll fix it. Reach out to me. One item does cost this much to ship, but often, 2 - 3 items cost the same shipping as one item.
Patterns, fabric, sewing notions since 2009. Cross stitch, embroidery kits. Singer sewing machine attachments. Trims & Laces.
Unique vintage sewing supplies.

I encourage you to read my reviews. I strive for accurate descriptions and fast shipping. My lifelong goals include keeping usable items out of the landfills.
My HANDMADE sewn and embroidered purses and kitchen items are in my other etsy store; www.RocketStitches.etsy.com https://www.etsy.com/shop/RocketStitches
As someone with an auto-immune, I feel it’s my responsibility to buy safe for me. With that said, I source a lot of my sewing supplies via estate/garage sales. I have a sensitive nose, especially allergic to cat & dog dander. I won’t buy at all if there is any smoke smell, no to cats urine. The supplies I use could have come in contact with those allergens. It is now up to the buyer to decide to continue. My no. 1 trigger is chemicals ( fabreeze?), especially in new products, which is why I buy used/old. Because I screen my supplies, this policy is listed here, not in every listing. Oct 2020 - new dog in household - living areas only.
Proceeds help support several local charities: Linus quilts ( 100% cotton fabrics), 4-H sewing ( friend is a teacher - sewing notions, fabrics), etc.

Frequently asked questions
What if all the pattern pieces are not inside the pattern envelope?
I do my best to ascertain that the pattern tissue and instructions are enclosed along with notes on sizes -if cut out. I find that 99.9% of the time, everything is inside the pattern envelope. If you do find a piece missing, please contact me and I will gladly refund your order.
Custom and personalized orders
Custom Orders? Absolutely. Of course, I have the day job to contend with but I get very excited to sew something in fabrics you choose.
I can also personalize with machine embroidery. If you just need the embroidery done and want to sew it up yourself, that’s easy to arrange.
What's my lead time?
While most of my items are already made, occasionally I get requests for custom made items. You can see what I make on my Rocket Stitches Instagram or in my RocketStitches etsy store. No waiting time for those. Custom requests take a few weeks.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Giftwrapping? Just let me know and I will wrap in tissue and ribbon. A handwritten note can also be included at no additional charge.
Why is shipping so much on multiple orders?
Buying multiples always makes a hash of shipping $. Even though I post each item with its weight, buying multiple items seems to stump etsy.
Email me ( the shipping queen) and I will fix your shipping. I just had a gal buying 6 items = $26 shipping! I changed it to free shipping on her order. (hint: she also sent me a screenshot of her cart to make it easier on me).
Do you combine shipping?
Yes, I do. Any shipping overages above $2 are refunded. Etsy sometimes adds up shipping creatively when buying multiple items.
Can I see your cart?
No. Whatever you place in your shipping cart is private. However, snap a screenshot of it if you have questions - usually regarding shipping amounts.
I'm available to give you a better shipping estimate if I know what you're interested in.
Embroidery Services
My industrial embroidery machine is available to personalize your items.
No smoking and no pets
My home is smoke-free with one dog. However, I’m re-selling treasures who may not have been in the free-zone prior to me.
I won’t buy items with obvious smells (sensitive nose).
Free Shipping
All orders over $35.00 qualify for free shipping. Via the least expensive shipping method. Typically, this is USPS First Class Mail. I drop packages at the post office six days a week.
Etsy's glitch of offering free Express shipping upgrade will not happen unless you purchase an Express upgrade. (starting at $32 in 2021).
