Mending Kits


Some of you may remember my post for Show & Tell

about my sewing room.

Well, can you see that little black thing hiding behind the bench pincushion?

That is an old mending kit I got from Gentleman Farmer's Grandmother

when she passed away.

I have been making some of these to go into my Etsy store.

Gentleman Farmer thinks every lady should carry one of these in her purse!

"You never know when the need may arise to repair a torn hem,

or replace a lost button!"

I have made them with two little pockets; one for a folding pair of scissors,

and one for thread.

There are two leaves made from natural cotton; one with several sizes of buttons

and the other with small brass safety pins, two pre-threaded needles and some

straight pins!

They hold alot but are small enough to fit nicely into most any bag without taking up

too much space. They are approximately 3"X5" and are tied up with

bias tape ties and love!

And, they are Gentleman Farmer approved!
