Looking to make an everyday carry sewing kit that I can have in my backpack for emergency sewing jobs. Other than a needle, thread, and scissors of some kind, any other suggested items and why they would be needed?
- A few spare buttons of various sizes, since you can lose a button and be unable to find it.
- Some straight pins to hold torn edges or a patch in place while you sew.
- A few safety pins because sometimes it’s more expedient to pin now and sew later.
- A thimble because pushing a needle through tough fabric can be painful on your fingers.
