I love vintage sewing notions. Recently I found an assortment of metal sewing bobbins at an estate sale. I already had a bag of thrifted thread spools that weren't vintage enough to be collectable but I didn't want to waste good thread.
I combined the bobbins and thread to create jewelry.
I added the bobbins between some beads on my Pandora necklace. This idea would work with most beaded necklaces.
That's my thrifted mini-dress form modeling for me.
