Can I sew a button?
Is the sky blue? Is the Pope Catholic?
Crisis averted.
Memories preserved.
My son was an officiant and my granddaughter was the ring bearer. A very good time was had by all.
*My portable mending kit is nothing more than a chocolate tin with a small magnet affixed to the cover. Inside, as you can see, are pins, a small pair of scissors, a needle threader, thimble, set of tweezers, seam ripper, needles, thread and of course, a band aid. The whole shebang is smaller than my wallet. It's handy as hell, and quite a little lifesaver.

Your car must ride smoother than mine or DH's. Or the roads are smoother. Or both. If I'd had tried to sew the button in a moving car, I'd have stuck myself with the needle more than once. Or is thaty why the bandaid is included?
Nice sewing kit!
Putting the magnet in there is genius! I have some tins I’m going to do that with. But I think I need to find a slightly larger tin that would hold small scissors.
That is such a cool sewing kit-on-the-go!
Tell owlfan, you can find some small really scissors at Hobby Lobby for less than $2.50. It has its own cover to keep over the points. I have one, it’s really nice to have. Measures about 3 inches. I think I am going to make one for my daughter to have on hand for her stepdaughter’s future wedding, but I will include the threads in colors of the wedding, plus white, and few neutral colors. With all the threads that I am putting in it, May have to use something different for a container.
Thanks, hope all have a great day for stitching.

What a super idea for the kit! And a good reason for buying some chocolate. How can your granddaughter be so big already?
Well Linda, I only had 2 kids, in turn have 7 grandkids along with 3 step grandkids that’s 10 grandkids, and 7 great grandkids, love them all. The love of my life and I will be celebrating our golden anniversary come January! We are a pair of old folks, our grandkids help us take care of the yard even! Forever blessed for they all call me nanny.
