My super-fancy sewing kit

My older daughter takes ballet. 

And during her class, I sit downstairs and hand-sew binding on whatever quilt I'm currently working on.

And I get to talk to a sweet friend, whose daughter is also in ballet class.

While she crochets.

And yes, people stare at us.

But I don't care.

It's lovely.

But I decided that I needed a good way to keep my hand-sewing things together.  

Not only do they go to ballet with me, I've started taking my things when I know I'm going to have to wait.

SO.....

I made this.  The fabric was a gift from my sister in law.  Don't you love it?

And when you open it, it looks like this.  

I love the thread-keeper.

It has a handy little built-in pincushion.

And a nifty pocket for my scissors and seam ripper and thimble.

I've really enjoyed this--it's come in handy for me.  I was thinking about writing a tutorial.  

Is there any interest on that one?
