This is my handmade needlebook made of antique barkcloth from the 1960's. You may find yourself in need of an emergency sewing mending needlebook kit for accidental garment malfunctions, especially in public. Shirts tear, pants rip, zippers break, seams ravel, hemlines fall, and these poorly timed disasters usually happen in crowded places when you are least prepared to handle it.
My needlebooks, also called needle cases, are hand sewn from new, vintage, and antique fabrics and measure roughly 3 ½” x 3 ½”. This one is made of gorgeous barkcloth and is generously stocked with a sewing needle, threader, lengths of thread, spare buttons, and colored safety pins nesting neatly between soft cotton pages. There is also a handy pocket for other disaster aids of your choice.
A simple running stitch OR a safety pin will hold things together until proper mending can be done.
My mini mending kits take up very little space in a purse, cosmetic bag, backpack, or other tote type organizer. They can be tucked into car and truck glove compartments within easy reach for fast repairs while traveling, camping, and RV'ing.
If you NEVER need the clothing assist, which would be awesome, you may become someone’s superhero at an important event like a wedding or baby shower, a first date, the prom (the worst). Get one for yourself and gift one to someone special. These are cute, useful, and much appreciated if a dreaded clothing mishap occurs. Gift recipients love these.
