I have always carried some sort of sewing and repair kit and finally landed on something that works extremely well and looks rustic. This particular sewing kit was inspired by the Saami people but instead of using reindeer antler, I have chosen to use cased and baked veg tan leather for unbelievable rigidity. I then hand stitched with synthetic sinew for a rustic look. It features two replaceable cork stoppers with a leather thong and decorative toggle to keep my contents secure.
The dimensions are 3 3/4? tall with an inside diameter of 1 1/4? and contains lots of space for needed items. I also incorporated a sewn loop in the leather thong for attaching. I am currently using a Nite Ize S-Biner.
My kit contains:
#14 Sail Needle 2 3/4" (high quality English made)--also works great as an awl or splinter picker
2 Heavy Duty stitching needles
5 Safety Pins (3 small, 2 Medium)
5 ft Artificial Sinew (great all purpose multi-filament repair thread)
5 ft White heavy duty waxed nylon thread (canvas and leather repair)
5 ft Brown heavy duty waxed nylon thread (canvas and leather repair)
5 ft Black heavy duty waxed nylon thread (canvas and leather repair)
5 ft Natural (sinew) heavy duty waxed nylon thread (canvas and leather repair)
1 Mini utility razor blade
Plastic Vial for safety pins, needles, and razor blade
