My sewing kit box was given to me as a Christmas present from  my grandfather when I was about 10. It's still a crucial part of my sewing setup all these years later.

Included in the sewing box are: fabric tape, scissors sharpener, scissors, safety pins, small scissors, seam ripper, thimble, black, gray and white thread, my tomato with straight pins and sewing needles.

*My daughter cut my strawberry off my tomato when she was 2. The tomato and strawberry were part of a Christmas present from my Mom that same year. Still use them all the time.

Here is my sewing tool box. Mainly it is a conglomeration of many kits from hotels and the military. I use all cotton thread but have others as they came in a hotel kit.  I have a seam ripper but mainly use my utility blade.  It is stored in an old cardboard baseball card box, they are great for sticking the needle into when getting everything else ready. Also the military case is my travel kit. I keep it in my Get home Bag or hiking pack when we re headed out.
