Emergency Matchbox Sewing Kit

A Boy Scout is always prepared and that includes being equipped to handle clothing emergencies. A small sewing kit can be tucked discreetly away in your pocket or bag for emergencies.This is just a very basic kit, don't be afraid to fill up every inch of whatever container you use for your mini sewing kit.

Start with an empty match box. Decorate if you want.

Stick a couple pins and needles on a piece of felt.

Buttons of various sizes are helpful in case you lose one.

Matches are always helpful to have around. You never know when you'll need one. To save space, wrap a bunch of thread around the ends. Even if you end up needing to light the match, the non-burned portion of the stick is still usable.

Safety pins are another useful item to have in your emergency kit. Other items you may consider: tiny scissors, thimble, tiny measuring tape, glue, golf pencil, chalk, etc.
