Coquimbo Sewing Kit Christmas Stocking Stuffers White Elephant Gifts for Adults Teen Girls Mom Grandma Beginner Traveler, Portable Sewing Supplies Accessories with Thread, Needles, Scissors (Black, M)

I absolutely love this kit! It's perfect to keep at my desk for those office emergencies. It has everything I could possibly need for minor repairs. It's very compact but has so much! The quality is actually better than expected. I highly recommend it and will be buying more for my coworkers and friends for sure.

Portable, easy to use, suitable for those traveling or people who wanna fix minor defaults, variety in colors and tools more than sufficient unless you're a pro, the thread quantity is less than enough then

This sewing kit is really convenient and portable — perfect for quick fixes whether I’m at home or traveling. It has all the basics like needles, scissors, and some thread, which is great for beginners and travelers. My only small complaint is that it only comes with a few thread colors, so I wish there were more variety included. Still, it’s a great little kit to keep on hand for emergencies or dorm life.

Everything you need to sew on a button, fix a minor tear, get you through the emergency. Multiple colored threads, several needles, an inexpensive but usable scissors, and a few doodads. Great to put in your suitcase, and fine for an old bachelor to keep his shirt fronts buttoned.

l had just bought the shirt at the Store. And the first time I wore it out for the day was at a kid's birthday party. I noticed the tear on one Side of the Shirt, but not the other. It looked like one cut it with scissors very deliberately and it was unraveling at the seams. I tucked it in for the rest of the party But I do have a psychotic roommate. So I wouldn't put it past her especially since I didn't notice the shirt until I was at the birthday party oddly and awkwardly unraveling despite all that. And focused on the kit I am happy with the color options the thred. I like the the sewing needles that have are two-toned which does make it easier to see and they are prettier and easier on the eyes. Also I like the other items that it comes with, I have never also never experienced such a sturdy needle threader. I decided on the llamas because it stands out. It is a small kit, that I would like to keep track of. The llama and color design helps it not get easily misplaced. Perfect for traveling or Storing in drawer. I'm not an expert at sewing but I this is a good lil sewing Kit. Before this, I only ever bought sewing kits from the dollar store this is definitely big upgrade for a few extra dollars

This sewing kit is a handy, budget‑friendly solution for quick fixes. It includes a good variety of thread colors (enough to match most clothing I own) and all the basic tools you’d need.I picked it up to sew a button back on my shorts, and it got the job done easily. It’s compact enough to store away and convenient to have on hand for clothing emergencies or small DIY projects. For the low cost, it’s a smart item to keep around.

Arrived today, so I cant yet say how strong the thread is (I will add to this review if any problems arise), but it is a decent little kit - for the price - for taking on vaca for small jobs. Referring to some points made by other reviewers:yes, the thread coils are quite small. But they appear to have more than enough thread to do a few simple jobs each. And there are two each of black and white, and three of light beige, which somewhat compensates for the lack of length. You will eventually need to buy more thread. By small jobs I mean re-attaching buttons, hopefully sewing a hatband onto a felt fedora (why I got it), but I wouldn't expect it to sew up a large rip in pants. As to difficulty in opening the case with the needles, there is a tiny piece of hard-to-see transparent tape securing it in place. This must be removed. After that, the black back piece is pretty easy to remove from the transparent part that actually holds the needles. When you remove that back piece, make sure it is/was on the top side, and hold the case perfectly flat, so no needles will not fall out even if the "hole" happens to be aligned with a needle "slot". Assuming needles dont start falling out, look at the side edge of the transparent part (it is opaque in places, but not the black backing.) You will see a gap at one point. To remove needles you need to rotate the transparent piece until the gap is over the "exit" slot for the needles you want to use. It is fairly difficult to rotate, use two opposing thumbs to turn it. Keep the whole thing level horizontally while you are turning the plastic, because whenever the "gap" goes over an "exit slot", if it's not perfectly level a bunch of needles will fall out.As a beginner, the hardest part is getting the thread into the needle. This kit comes with two threaders, which help a little but its still difficult for an old fogey like me with shaky hands and non perfect eyesight to do. The biggest help for me is this very useful device I got somewhere a long time ago, maybe at a surplus store, a jewelers loupe (?) which is a thing with a strap that goes around your head, a little light, and a strong magnifying glass that goes down over you eyes. That brings intense magnification to bear while leaving your hands free. But you probably wont take that on vacation, so, get a pair of strong reading/magnifying gasses (get them at a dollar store, they are way too expensive elsewhere). Also, the thimble is a ring with no top, which may actually be more useful than a regular one since I push the needles with my finger tip, not the top of my finger. We'll see.Thats a pretty long review for a $7 item, and I will add to it after I actually try it.OK,adding now after first use, sewing a hatband onto a felt hat. First, the thread is weak. It broke on me once when pulling through the felt. Thread is fuzzy, obviously not a strong polyester. Also, I was wrong about their 'ring' thimble being OK. A real thimble works much better. You get what you pay for.
