15-minute DIY DIY Sewing

Anthropologie Inspired Mason Jar Sewing Kit

Anthropology Inspired Mason Jar Sewing Kit with vintage pattern shreds, scissors, tomato pin cushion, and more! | DuctTapeAndDenim.comHave you seen the Anthropologie sewing kit?  Simple and convenient… maybe a little expensive.  But isn’t everything at Anthropologie?  It’s one of my favorite stores even though I don’t own very many of their things.  But I do get a lot of inspiration from them.

When I saw this I knew I had everything at home to put together my own.  And I brought home a big Kerr jar from the Snap Conference so it was perfect.  I wanted to put a little more in my kit than the Anthropologie kit came with.

Just before I left for the conference my favorite thrift store had a bag sale — $5 for a bag of vintage linens.  I bought two bags!  Some had rips and stains but that’s what I needed for this project.  I roughly cut out a 6″ circle of a vintage linen piece and ran a gathering stitch around the outside edge.

Vintage linen made the top of my Anthropologie inspired mason jar pin cushion | DuctTapeAndDenim.comPull the threads on both ends… like you’re making a big yo-yo.
Anthropologie inspired mason jar sewing kit | DuctTapeAndDenim.comThen I layered some stuffing and the jar lid on the center of the linen circle and pulled the thread tight.  One change I recommend, double your thread!  I broke mine on the first try and had to do it again.
Anthropologie inspired mason jar sewing kit | DuctTapeAndDenim.comI shredded some old patterns to fill the bottom of the jar.  Then I started layering in vintage sewing kit items: tomato pin cushion & pins, thread, buttons, hook & eyes, and even a wooden darning egg.  (Which I probably won’t ever take out of the jar.  I don’t even know how to darn!)
Finished Anthropologie inspired mason jar sewing kit | DuctTapeAndDenim.comI placed the inner lid on top of the jar and screwed the outer lid on.  I used my favorite alphabet stamps on the tag and tied it on with some jute.

Jewelry Making Supplies

Now that I look at it I think I like my version BETTER than Anthropologie’s.  I’ve got a little more color and the supplies are really vintage!

And since mason jars are so hot right now, of course I had to start a Pinterest Board!
Follow Ann @ Duct Tape and Denim’s board DIY | Mason Jar Projects on Pinterest.

I really enjoy making gifts for quilters and seamstresses.  Like this necklace I like to call “I Run With Scissors.”I Run With Scissors Necklace available at DuctTapeAndDenim.etsy.com

‘Til the next project,
