Sewing a sewing kit: Such a self-sewn sewing case is small, handy, and fits in any bag. So you can quickly sew on a button anytime and anywhere - or embroider a little flower onto a handkerchief.

With my tutorial, even beginners can sew a cute sewing kit!

The most important things at a glance

  • The sewing kit is a lovely project for sewing beginners
  • You can wonderfully use up your fabric scraps to sew the sewing case
  • Sewing kits are wonderful gifts for sewing-enthusiast friends - the style and design are just so variable
  • You can find the sewing tutorial for the sewing kit here
  • You can download the pattern for the sewing kit here

You can sew the sewing kit tone-on-tone or with plenty of contrast. Out of cool skull fabric or in a maritime look.

With flowers, fruit, geometric patterns, hearts, or plants - your friend (and you yourself!) will love it!

I sewed the sewing kit in the picture for Hanna, who has just discovered her passion for this great hobby.

You can get my stamp set in the wooden box at Amazon*.

In Hanna's version, I added a small needle book where needles of different sizes and lengths can find a place.

A small pincushion is located right next to it. I find the pins* from SewMate very practical - not too long, not too short, and very comfortable to handle because they have a wide, flat head. This means the ruler doesn't roll over them as much when cutting fabric but lies nice and flat.

With this mini project, small inaccuracies add to the granny charm: the pouches are finished with yellow bias tape* for stabilization.

A beautiful decorative ribbon* rounds off the overall look.

A magnetic button* serves as a closure. A snap fastener* would work just as well.

The bias tape is homemade. If you prefer to buy some: Stoffe Hemmers has a nice selection of bias tapes*. And now I wish you lots of fun sewing your sewing case.

Happy simple sewing, your Sabine

About the author

Sabine

I come from Siegen-Wittgenstein, where I spent my childhood breaking in cows, jumping off haystacks and scraping a D- in needlework class.

Today, being creative feels like indescribable happiness to me – and it grows even more when I can share it with others. Since 2016 I have been celebrating my passion for sewing on this blog, and I love that sewing connects so many people.
