#video about a minimal post-apocalyptic #sewing kit without a sewing machine. She likes leather thimbles, but puts seam rippers and tape measures on her nice-to-have list. Her seam-ripper/awl tool has a really nice design where the steel holders for the tooltips are supported on pairs of o-rings set into grooves in them so that they fit firmly when they slide into the metal bushings in the wooden handle. She also likes round-nose needle-nose pliers (for when needles are hard to pull out) and tweezers (for tying knots when you didn’t leave enough thread at the end of a seam). For a home sewing space she also recommends tailor’s shears, additional scissors for things like boning, a tomato pincushion, and another cushion for when you want to put down your needle. And a clear plastic quilting ruler. And a French curve for drafting. And an iron.
