Sewing Essentials, Travel Sewing Kit with Scissor and 10 Threaded Needles

Perfect for my go-bag. small, and works perfect. But, it is not the strongest thread. I like it, because I was able to replace the thread with my own, and the case is reusable.

I travel for business a lot and quite often end up having to sew things like buttons back on dress shirts while on the road. So having an "emergency kit" like this is essential. While traveling on business two years ago, the hotel I was staying in provided one of these in the room as an amenity. I liked it so much, I threw it in my garment bag. On my last trip I realized it was time to replace it. I was very surprised to find the same exact thing I got in a random hotel 2 years ago on Amazon. So I snagged two of them: one for my garment bag and another for my rolling suitcase. It's 10 pre-threaded needles with 10 different colors of thread. It's also got a safety pin and a couple of spare buttons, all in a nice little plastic case that's perfectly at home bouncing around inside of luggage. It also has a cheap pair of folding scissors. So it's basically everything you need to do quick repairs. If you've ever been in a hotel room with a loose button on your dark colored power suit and all the hotel provides you is a needle and white thread...this little kit is a lifesaver.

Scissors fell apart in my hand as I removed them from the package...returned.

I was so excited to be able to purchase this travel kit. I have a lot of trouble threading kneedles, so I thought this would be perfect. I used it the other night to fix a sleeve. I used the black thread--first of all, there was very little thread on the needle. The needle was so thick that I could hardly pull it through the SILK fabric. I am not much of a sewer, but I know that there have to be finer needles around. I was really disppointed in the whole kit The only thing that I liked was the scissors. Don't bother, you will be disappointed!!!

I was led to believe that the amount of string would be more than pictured, but I was wrong. This is essentially ten needles and a tiny bunch of string on each one (maybe 3 feet). If they'd mentioned that in the description, instead of leading me to believe it was a lot more string (it's decently thick, which is my problem), I wouldn't have bought it. The good news is that it comes with it's own scissors and is easy to rethread if you accidentally screw up and pull the string out. The bad news is that you run out of string in about twenty minutes of sewing.

Seems like a solid set. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it's decent quality for the price and I really like that the needles are pre-thread.

If you are like us, you need a little sewing kit when you are traveling. This kit does the trick. It has all the necessary items we need in the road. Affordable price makes it easy on the pocketbook. Small size makes it easy to throw in the bag when away from home. But remember that it goes in your checked luggage as the scissors are a TSA no-no.

Subject says it all. Scissors work really well. No real complaints, needles come pre-threaded and it comes with a safety pin. It's a sewing kit.
