sewing box - HELP!
I am putting together some sewing boxes for a few of the 20-30 somethings on
my list. It seems there's always talk among my sons group that finding a needle to sew on a button or make a quick fix is a problem. I have some of those little metal lunch boxes and I'm going to put the stuff in those. I think I have a pretty good list for contents but I'd like input from the group, incase I forgot something and any good ideas I didn't think of. This is just for quick fix/mends and such. Your idea lists would be appreciated. Some of the things I have so far: packets of assorted buttons Stitch Witch tape assorted threads (what colors?) packets of needles safety pins thimble assorted elastic small scissors that plastic thingy use to fish/pull elastic Any additions you can think of?

gray too
used to be a special type of safety pin that had a little sort of bump in it that would work in holding a button on temporarliy. They are handy. Clothilde used to sell something called rescue tape that was handy too. nice gift idea.

I think someone mentioned iron on patches too. Maybe a needle threader too? And some assorted colors (optional, of course) stick-on Velcro bits. ~handmaiden |
