This imperfect patchwork and little stitchings kit is designed for mending, decorating, and creating. This kit accompanies me everywhere. The envelope is machine-stitched out of plant-dyed organic cotton/hemp and is lined in Indian block-printed cotton with a stitched cotton twill wrap closure. The envelope has an internal divider so you can keep your fabric and thread separate from your notions and tools. Kit measures 8 x 6” with 1.5" gusset and a 30” closure. 

Each kit contains mending essentials, including:

• tape measure covered in plant-dyed wool felt (felt color corresponds to kit)
• small scissors with plant-dyed wool felt tip cover (felt color corresponds to kit)
  
• seam ripper
• imperfect patchwork & little stitchings booklet:  a 28-page booklet filled with patching instructions and full-color stitching inspiration

THREAD: (2 yards of each color)

• 4 colors of sashiko thread (3 plant-dyed colors and 1 natural/undyed): perfect for any embroidery.
• 5 colors of mohair/silk yarn from The Lamb & Kid: works well on any fabric, especially woolens, to add bursts of color.
• 7 colors of cotton embroidery floss: the 6 strands of embroidery floss can be separated to the desired thread thickness (see tips in the booklet).
