A Sewing Kit

Definition: A sewing kit will have all you need for minor projects, and will include the following supplies:
  • a needle
  • at least two feet of white, black or various colored thread
  • two buttons
  • a straight pin
  • two snaps
  • a needle threader

Sewing kits are sold anywhere from the grocery store to the specialty craft stores, and are even sold as souvenirs. Prices can vary from cheap to moderate. This item is one of a few basic DIY fashion tools that you should have on hand.
