A reel is an object around which lengths of another material are wound for storage. Generally a reel has a cylindrical core and walls on the sides to retain the material wound around the core. In some cases the core is hollow, although other items may be mounted on it, and grips may exist for mechanically turning the reel. The size of the core is dependent on several factors. A smaller core will obviously allow more material to be stored in a given space. However there is a limit to how tightly the stored material can be wound without damaging it and this limits how small the core can be.
Playing around with my sewing box on the weekend, I took this shot.
This is a nineteenth century silver thimble and magnetic holder featuring an Australian ring-tailed possum.

I like to collect old sewing items such as buttons, button cards, spools, darners, celluloid buckles, advertising, etc.
There’s just something about buttons that we love so we’ve designed a t-shirt featuring one of our all-time favourite objects. This is our humble homage to the wonderful button, one of the greatest inventions known to man and womankind. These particular buttons look almost transluscent and are in almost every variation on the colours of the rainbow.
Another beautiful machine of old at the Red Barn Museum in Calavaras County, California is this old Singer Sewing Machine. This seems to be a rather large model. I can remember my Mom had a old Singer foot treddle machine, but her’s was no where as large as this model. I would imagine it is designed for some really heavy duty sewing. Singer really make thes machines to last forever.
