Vintage SLR Film Camera

Vintage & Retro ObjectsIntermediate12 coloursAbout 4 days of stitching (~8 hrs/day)

This vintage SLR film camera is a lovely nod to the golden age of photography. A dark body, silvery top plate and a round lens with a warm glint at its centre give it real character, and the compact design keeps it friendly to stitch.

It will suit anyone who loves retro objects, from keen photographers to collectors of all things nostalgic. Framed on a wall, it makes a stylish addition to a creative corner or study, and it would be a thoughtful gift for a friend who still enjoys the click of a shutter.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.

These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.

HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
