Orders over $50 automatically get FREE regular shipping. No code needed.
All items are ready to ship to you.
Thank you for supporting my small business. I truly appreciate all of my great customers who love what I create.
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.

You can view more of what I’m making on my Instagram account @RocketStitches
Most of my custom orders show up there and it’s a good way to view what I’ve made in the past.
Handcrafted, unique, made in Oregon treasures ( on etsy since 2009).
Custom Sewing and Custom Embroidery embellishments.
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.
I look for and utilize many sustainable materials in my shop, to re-use and upcycle into unique creations. I’m drawn to cork for those sustainable properties but also because I enjoy touching it.
In addition to sewing all the things, I offer business embroidery of hats, hoodies, and aprons to help promote your business. Call/email for quotes.
My first etsy store is over at https://www.etsy.com/shop/RunningWithNeedles (2009). You will find vintage sewing tools, notions, patterns and fabrics. Cross stitch, knitting, laces and trims. Those vintage sewing tools work better than anything you can buy new nowadays.
Everything my workshop creates is of the finest quality materials with attention to unique details. I hope you will favorite this store and feel free to contact me if you would like custom sewing or embroidery created for you.
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. Years of selling online has enabled me to be very forthright. Note: Oct 2020 new dog in household living areas.
Proceeds help support several local charities: Project Linus quilts ( 100% cotton fabrics), local 4-H sewing group (sewing notions, fabrics), etc.
You might have noticed a few airplanes in my shop. My husband and I have owned several airplanes and I might like airplanes a lot.

5 out of 5 starsWhat an amazing and sweet seller! I asked if she could make a special color and she responded so quickly with an enthusiastic acceptance of the challenge at hand. My 2 year old daughter is obsessed with windsocks right now. She loves watching windsock videos (yes they are as boring as they sound). She loves spotting them and waving saying "Hi windsocks!". Don't ask me why... 2 year olds are odd characters😂🤣. Anyway... I knew she would love her very own windsock. And these were so absolutely perfect. She quickly whipped up a pink windsock on her sewing machine and my daughter had her 2 windsocks 4 days later! She even included a little foam airplane in the package for her. This seller is what Etsy is all about❤️

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
I would love to create something unique just for you. Most custom orders will ship out before two weeks. The only thing holding me back is the day job or supplies taking longer to source. I value communication.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Please let me know if this will be a gift. I'm happy to write and include a personal note from you and will gift wrap in tissue and ribbons.
I sell vintage sewing supplies too.
Over at RunningWithNeedles.etsy.com
I've had this store since 2009 and felt it was time to separate out my handmade pretties from awesome vintage sewing supplies.
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.
Please note that I only charge the published rate, and by using flat rate envelopes, I can ship many items for the one rate, so perhaps order with friends and combine the costs to save!
Rush service is available for a small surcharge, and upgrades to Fed Ex or overnight shipping are available as well. I am always willing to work with you whenever possible to meet your needs. Please convo BEFORE ordering if time is of the essence, and I will do my best to accommodate requests.
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 shipping estimate if I know what you're interested in.
Do I own an airplane?
Yes. I would love to design something around your plane, even if your plane is only a dream.
What does free shipping mean?
All orders over $50.00 qualify for free shipping. This means the least expensive way I can send your item(s). 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 upgrades will not happen unless you pay for the upgrade (starting at $32.00 in (2019).
Can you make more or use a different fabric?
Absolutely. Yes, I can make more, if I still have fabric remaining.
I can make multiples, all the same or in different colorways.
See something I make that might work for bridesmaid's gifts? I'm happy to work with you.
