2. Mini Sewing Kit
Buttons have the tendency to fall off when they please, and as for stitching, that too may just come apart when it fancies. If your loved one likes to come to the rescue to repair damaged garments then a mini sewing kit is perfect. These suggestions are great for mending on the move and will easily fit into your handbag

3. Sewing Clips
A newer alternative to using pins is using sewing clips. Clips can be used at any time, but are most useful when working with multi-layers of fabric, as using pins in this situation may cause them to bend or snap.
