Sewing Kit

Sewing Kit
A sewing kit is a great gift for anyone leaving home.

Materials:

  • Tin (an Altoids tin is perfect)
  • Felt
  • Cardboard
  • Tape measure
  • Buttons, hooks and eyes and snaps
  • Black, white and dark blue thread
  • Straight pins, needles and safety pins
  • Thimble
  • Needle threader

Directions

Cut notches in the edges of a small piece of card and wind thread around it, sticking the ends down with scotch tape. Cut out two squares of felt. Loosely sew the buttons, hooks and eyes and snaps to one square, knotting them each individually. Push the pins and needles through the other square. Place everything inside the tin. Et voila!
