This is a travel-type sewing kit that is easy to carry around at all times. Created from an "Altoids Smalls" tin, with the assistance of a number of 3/16" rare earth magnets, the tin will hold itself open and attach to metal surfaces, and the only things to fall from it while open are the two extra buttons. The contents of the kit include:

- 8 needles of varying size

- 25 steel pins

- 6 safety pins of varying size

- 1 steel thimble

- 2 steel spools of approx. 20ft of black nylon upholstery thread each

 

The kit can easily be built in a similar metal tin, larger or smaller, as well as being constructed with varying sizes of magnets. Some other things to consider including in or near a sewing kit:

- Knife/Scissors

- Lighter for melting ends of nylon thread (or paracord)

- Pliers for thick materials sewing
