Coquimbo Sewing Kit for Adults, Traveler, Beginner, Emergency, Portable Sewing Supplies Accessories Contains Thread, Needle, Scissors, Measure Tape, Thimble, Christmas Gifts for Mom Grandma Girls Boys

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.

This sewing kit is a cutie. It's well organized and would make a super little gift.It's compact size is wonderful.Though I can't use a sewing machine anymore because of a rare muscle disorder, I do need to hem occasionally.The quality seems great. I like everything about this little sewing kit.

I was looking to get into sewing and landed on this kit. All tools a beginner might need are provided in this kit- perfect for learning. Could fit in a backpack or purse, making it ideal for travel too.The zipper is high quality, though there’s a small gap on the end that could prove to be problematic if anything inside the kit slips loose- but ultimately shouldn’t be a problem if you’re keeping it tucked away in one place or not shaking it hard.

This is a great little sewing kit for traveling (or, if you're like me, to just keep in the house). I don't really know how to sew, so this is perfect for just fixing buttons or adding a stitch to a piece of clothing. It comes with lots of different thread colors and useful tools. It's a really good value.

Excellent for clothing repairs ; has everything!

Don’t buy …no return also…money wasted. Pins rusted. Tape of low quality and width less than 1cm. Threads are small and worst quality.

Scissors shown in the picture at the time of purchase was not provided

Ottimo per i viaggi perchè piccolo e comodo da portare con sè, non occupa per niente spazio. Ovviamente non è super fornito, ma le cose essenziali sono presenti.

Petit kit, très pratique que j'ai acheté pour recoudre des trous dans les poches de mon jeans. La seule reproche que je peu faire c'est que les bobines sont petites. Ceci dit c'est une petit kit, pas trop chère et pour le voyage donc il n'allait pas y avoir des bobines de fil complète.
