Review: "This is a great sewing kit. Although too big to put in your handbag, it's great to take on holidays in your suitcase. It's got everything you might need, and there are full-size threads. Not like the ones you find in a mini kit that will only allow you to use the thread a few times before it's finished. Even though I have a sewing machine and a box full of thread skeins available, it's handy to have a kit like this at home for quick and easy access. I just grab this kit for small jobs, and everything I need is there in one place."
