    Oh these will be really nice sewing kits. Very good quality. And cute too. You are a great shopper, always finding great prices on quality items. I buy those buttons too at DT. Even at $1.25, I think it’s a good price. And I love the mixed colors one. I love that they are various sizes and styles. I use buttons all the time, not only in sewing kits for shoeboxes, but in my crochet projects and as embellishments in my cardmaking and scrapbooking.

    • @byrdfeed9071
      @byrdfeed9071  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks Val. Yeah, I think the buttons are still a good value at $1.25, too. I prefer the colored button selection, but when I went to get more buttons they only had the dark ones. Although I kind of like the mixture of the two. TFW 🥰

      Thanks, Denise. Yes, it is definitely cost effective if you’re going to send multiple kits, as I am. They turn out to be better quality, overall, than the kits I have included in the past, plus I can pick and choose what I want to put in it 👍👍.

    Hi Trish, Thanks for sharing your sewing kit ideas.
    I include a similar set of items for those who may want to sew not just mend/repair. I have used organzer bags and large snack containers to pack some of my kits.
    I also like to add embroidary thread.
    BTW, I found sewing kit pouches today. One read, "Who are you calling a fat quarter?!" ... Yes who indeed!😁

    Fabulous video as always. Great ideas. I was thinking Velcro when I was watching. Might be fun if they make a little purse or doll clothes. So many options for a sewing kit. So blessed to get the zipper bags donated ❤️

    • @byrdfeed9071
      @byrdfeed9071  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks, Stacy. Yes, Velcro would be a great addition. Also, a 7” zipper, which I forgot to mention in case she has a broken zipper, so she might be able to replace it. Someone also reminded me of elastic. I will likely include wide elastic, so it could be used as a waistband, since I am sending fabric. Yes, so many options.

    Great video, Trish! Perhaps one day I will create sewing kits. It's just easier for me to buy the premade kits and adding extras. lol But I love this. Love the IPSY bags. And WOW, I can't believe you got those quality scissors for 50 cents each! And I like that you added the pins in the metal tins. A lot to think about. Thanks for sharing, Trish! 🧵

    • @byrdfeed9071
      @byrdfeed9071  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks, Sharon. Yes, it is definitely easier to just buy a premade sewing kit, that is for sure. I’ve done it many times. I found some online a couple of years ago for $3.50 each (shipped from China). Last year I found some at shein.com for $5 and I think they have some this year at that price, as well, but if I don’t buy enough for free shipping or I don’t catch them during a free shipping event, then they’re not so cheap anymore. So I decided to go for it and make my own bc I hope to include more kits in 10-14 Girl shoeboxes. Now I just have to fit them in the box with everything else 😂

    Thank you for your video. I've been buying supplies to make kits. I'm going to split up the needles by putting them on pieces of felt or putting them in small containers (I miss the old film containers from years ago). I may add elastic to some kits or small cording for drawstrings. I bought magnetic tins at Dollar Tree (before the price increase), but I don't remember if they came in sets.

    • @byrdfeed9071
      @byrdfeed9071  Před 2 lety +1
