Write a report, review some files, develop a database, fix a shoe.
Because when a lady is only partway through her day, and you have two more meetings to attend, you have GOT to get that shoe fixed.
And lucky for my co-worker, I happened to have a sewing kit in my bag. So, I stitched up her broken elastic just fine enough to hold until she can get it repaired properly. Her only request was that she could make it through the work day, and then make it through the grocery store on the way home!
Do you keep a sewing kit in your bag? When have you had to use it?
This little travel kit is made up of notions that came from this summer's auctions and estate sales...
I made it myself.
I will probably never make another one. I made it just because.
It's filled with all the things you need in a sewing emergency (or a shoe emergency). There is a little place for scissors.
There is a tiny container of assorted buttons and a thimble.
There is a little box full of tiny spools of thread.
And a place for pins, needles and snaps.
And it all rolls up into a compact little kit to put in your purse or your desk.
And I want one of you to have it.
Leave a comment before Friday September,28th at midnight and I will draw a name. I will send you this little custom sewing kit that I created with my own hands...for your own hands.
Perhaps it will bring with it the joy of past seamstresses, tucked away in time, tucked away in your handbag or desk.
I always keep a little sewing kit in my purse. I must say I've saved the day a number of times (Mostly through distributing safety pins but still!)
ReplyDeleteIt's a sweet little kit. As I said I have one, so no need to enter me.

How wonderful! So many times I've needed a sewing kit at the office and I have no idea why I haven't gotten one yet!! I'd love to have it!
ReplyDeleteYo! Does this count?
ReplyDeleteOH Man I "D LOVE to win that prize. What a darling emergency fix it kit! I think mine currently consists of straight pins, and a needle with an eye to tiny to actually thread...and a thimble.... thats It!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous sewing kit! You have done a lovely job with it. Don't you want to keep it? I did use to keep a needle and thread in my drawer at work (needles wrapped in a scrap, threads, a button and a couple of safety pins in an old film canister) but when I changed jobs it migrated to my spongebag. Must re-equip at work! I live in New Zealand and you probably don't want to bother with international post, but I hope someone treasures this.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't keep a sewing kit at work (but teach Home Ec, so fixes are always possible!). It's a gorgeous kit, count me in the draw!
ReplyDeleteYour blog warms my heart! I would love to win your little sewing kit. I would treasure it and enjoy it. Beth D (I can't seem to post a comment under my google identity).
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! I do not have a sewing kit for my purse or office and would love to win it! Shae C (cant get the google to work?)
ReplyDeleteI do keep a sewing kit in my desk at work and have used it many times even sewing my bosses jacket button back on before an important meeting.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute sewing kit!!!! Please enter me into the drawing:)
ReplyDeleteWell, I do not have a sewing kit in my purse and I should. Your kit is darling and I would love, love, love to win it. Thanks, Lynne.
ReplyDeleteI just read where Sofia Vergara busted her zipper on Emmy night. I thought of you and your sewing kit! My 4-H daughter brings a fix-it basket to the state fashion revue for last minute fashion emergencies for all the entrants. Beth D (I still can't post with my google identity, I'll try my wordpress blog name that is for my private blog).
ReplyDeleteOh, Lynne!! Put me in the drawing for the sewing kit. It is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI have a little sewing kit from a fancy schmancy hotel I stayed at in New York City a long, long time ago.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely. I admire your skills!
ReplyDeleteI always keep a spool of thread and needle at my desk. it would be lovely to have a kit I can take everywhere though.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the sewing kit!
ReplyDeletethat is too cute...you should write out the directions for those of us that don't win.
ReplyDeleteThe upper torsos of long-distance runners are usually not that great, even though their legs are well developed. If your body is entirely balanced and symmetrical, it can be very beneficial for your health. Most runners will not want to do anything that adds more weight to carry. Personal preference plays a large role in this decision. You can tone your upper body, and help avoid overuse injuries, if you build up a little bit. Instead of adding serious mass, you could do toning exercises that only work with your body weight. Adding variety to your weekly training is something you can do by doing these exercises. You will be more resistant to injury, and your body will be stronger, once you start exercising in this way.

Long distance runners are famous for well-developed legs and then all of that stops at the waste. There are benefits to keeping your entire body in a symmetrical and balanced state of development. Carrying stuff during a run is something that runners will try to avoid. So this is another thing that is a matter of preference. Since your upper body is in shape (despite the extra weight) you can avoid overuse injuries very easily. You don't want to add serious mass, and simple body weight exercises will work for this. Adding variety to your weekly training is something you can do by doing these exercises. It won't hurt a thing and will only make your body stronger and more resistant to injury.
