OK, not really, it's
just one use. This idea came from Pinterest but when I saw it I
immediately knew it was genius. Using a glasses case to make a mini
sewing kit.
Mine is a mini English paper piecing kit and includes two
spools of thread, a fabric glue stick, a seam ripper, two needle
threaders, a thimble and a finger guard, tiny card hexagons and a
needle case – made from paper pieced hexies, of course.
I cannot tell you how
handy it is. It sits on my desk and I always know where it it. It
also means I don't have to wrestle with my big sewing box to find a
needle and it's portable and safe. Because it is a hard case there are no needles/seam ripper stabbing me
randomly because they have poked out of the fabric/bag I have put
them in. I picked up the glasses case on eBay for less than £2 - so nice and affordable too.
There is no end to the
possibilities for this idea – mini painting kit (shortened paint
brushes, pencil, tubes of paint); drawing kit (short pencils, rubber,
paper stumps); even a mini make-up kit (mascara, eyeliner, lipstick,
cotton bud, tissue) or first aid kit (sticking plasters/band aids,
individually packaged anti septic wipes, cotton wool balls, small
pair of scissors). Thanks Pinterest. Another great idea.
