~ sewing kit ~

 

 

 

a small, old wooden box 

has recently become a handy thing for my sewing needfuls.

 

surely nothing fancy or even that pretty...

but useful she is.

 

my little wooden box hold a couple other boxes ~

and inside those are tiny scissors, needle magnet,
a paper envelope of my favorite steel embroidery needles...
chalk, threads, old buttons, & scraps of antique lace.

plus a make-do pincushion and my ever-handy beeswax. ~
all tucked in together,

waiting for a spare moment to pull a few threads through linen or cotton.

 I've made many of these helpful boxes over the years,

some bigger and even some smaller.

here is a list of things that can be kept in your sewing kit:

small boxes
embroidery hoop
tape measure
scraps of fabrics and trims
thread
scissors
small notebook
beeswax
thimble
paper clips
safety pins
straight pins
pincushion
needle magnet
small pencil
seam ripper

and I'm sure you can add to that list as well.

I think I'll stitch up a few needlebooks today ~

slowly & mindfully hand-stitched using scraps of this and that.

what do you have in your sewing kit?
