Review on Dritz Travel Scissors, Pins, Tape Measure, Needles, Threader, Thread, And Buttons Sewing Kit, Multicolor by Maria Hanson

I actually needed this for some home repairs (usually I let the females handle all my sewing needs) however sometimes those females can be busy so I guess I had to get into this home sewing thing (just emergency manual hand repairs) and this kit is a decent though not perfect start.For the cost I think it's worthwhile,no big ticket item here,no big complaints but the hinged plastic case is pretty cheap (poor quality) and could get broken easily though (won't last long).Like it says on the label includes 12 spools of 35 yards length Polyester Thread,Sewing Needles (actually just two of them),Threader,Thimble (pretty (very) cheap (plastic) on this) and a crude (foam) Pin Cushion (No tape measure nor handy scissors though are included).The spools come in various useful and more common colors and nicely there are a pair of white thread spools and a pair of black thread spools.The other thread colors cover a decent array for clothing repairs.I would say on the plus side quite a lot of varied thread.It would have been nice (much better) though to include one spool of white nylon (strong) thread in this kit but I purchased a nylon thread spool separately for use in situations that require good tensile strength and durability.It's really just an emergency kit and most people who need more will get more needles,a better larger pin cushion,a real metal thimble,a better sewing case and more and varied colors,larger spools and other material types of threads for varied needs.For the cost it's fair I guess though it would be better if it came in a much nicer metal case that isn't easily broken as this plastic case kinda sucks (Top transparent part easily separates from bottom black plastic part of case because of very poor cheap hinges).So If I were asked how this product could be much better and improved again a metal hinged durable latching case (kind of like a bigger form of a metal cigarette case) and perhaps a metal thimble and maybe 3 more sewing needles (5 total) and substitute one spool of nylon thread instead.I can forgive the cheap pin cushion as it's workable.I would add a tape measure though as an additional improvement and some useful short scissors too. Those improvements would be costlier however even if the product cost more with such improvements I'd be willing to pay say $7 more or so for a more attractive improved product/emergency and/or travel small sewing repair kit.This is an O.K. buy, missing some items and could be better in some areas.If you purchase this it will probably come in handy and you will likely easily get your money out of it with a needed repair.It says made in China although I've seen Chinese products that were of much higher quality and better features.
