Concretedog's Travel Sewing Kits

By: Concretedog

Tiny sewing kits are super useful to carry, I make these small sewn cases which fold in half with a small felt section for pins and needles.

Case

A few hand stitches through a short length of paracord make a good tie wrap

This machine stitched case is for my daughter to take to Uni, has roughly the same contents as mine

The case is a simple pocket with foldover lid, inside the lid I line with a small rectangle of felt. The felt gives a place for storage of pins and needles. A small length of paracord is sewn into the case back which can be used as a tie. Optionally my original kit has a small piece of cord stitched to the inside which I clip the swiss army knife too to prevent loss in the field.

Wonderclips x 6 minimum
A small pair folding scissors
Various bits of thread wrapped around carboard scraps to reduce size
Various pins and needles
Classic SD Swiss Army Knife
A small amount of gore tex seam tape, this irons on, for field expedient repair you can use the lighter and the knife blade to patch small holes
A small roll of iron on interfacing, again great for field expedient repair of small rips etc.
A stitch ripper/Seam Ripper/Quick Unpick tool
A collection of buttons.
