Small sewing kit

[Aloha]

I found this little sewing kit for .25c so I picked it up.  I tried to think about the times i needed a quick repair and recalled at least 2 times in the past few months.  A little kit like this in the glove box or purse would be a nice addition.  I like how the needles are already threaded ready to go. 

I'll go back tomm and see if there are more and grab a bunch.

That's a nice little sewing kit.

I have a couple similar kits that I've grabbed from hotel rooms.  One always rides in my hiking repair kit, but I should start keeping one in the car as well, good call.

Very cool kit. I have been looking for something like this for a while now so if you grab a bunch let me know. I would be interested in a few.

Same her. Just exchange the "couple" with "dozens"! 

I like the ability to sew on the go, it reminds me of my army days, when I had hair and a handful decades in front of  me.  I used my in Skinth kit to modificate my Skinth with a couple of D rings cannibalized from an old bag.

Hair is overrated 
I've buzzed mine for the last decade and wouldn't think of growing it back.  I did have long hair for a bit in the late 90's however.

A couple of years before the army and twenty years before now.

Now thats quite a mane.  I didnt have the locks you did but for a short while I did have hair to my shoulders.

Not yet!
But I might look like this in the not  so distant future.

I was looking for one like that to throw in the overnight bag that is always in my car, but I couldn't find one for what I thought was sane amounts of money.

So last night, grab an altoids mini tin. Two sewing machine bobbins, which I keep on hand for repacking light wire and braided spectra fishing line. Wrapped those with black and white thread. Picked out a dozen safety pins in varing sizes, and 6-7 buttons in various colors and sizes, from the sewing box my mother gave me when I went to collage. Grabbed a pencil, cut off the eraser for a couple of needles. And squished a thimble into a more ovoid shape to fit in the mini tin. One wrap with electricians tape to keep it closed, and tada. If I need stronger thread, I have dental floss in my over night bag as well, but I still need to find a few BDU buttons. No need for scissors- this is MTO and I'm a SAK man.

I already carry dental floss, fishline and a largish needle in my EDC pack.

To an online vendor for that kit of course.

You can get the capsule in ebay for around 10-15 €. Just type in sewing kit, capsule sewing kit or vintage sewing kit. These things are around 50 years old. The rest you will have to make yourself, but it isn't all that hard. 

[kkokkolis]

Oh! You made a very compact, yet comprehensive, piece of sewing kit.

That's a very stylish kit, love it.

I do the same too, and it's a great reminder to put it into my travel gears.

That little capsule sewing ket is fantastic...


Sorry to report the lady didnt have anymore little sewing kits.  I'll continue to keep an eye out.

I have a couple of Victorinox sewing kits, which are quite nice, and come with a Classic    Not very cheap though.

I like those! But according to ebay they are indeed not cheap... 

[Etherealicer]

The colored one (Enamel) open.

All three need some work, but the inside is in good shape. you can see the yarn-spool are around the needle container.
