What are their types, what should be included, where to get one from? We’re going to provide you with the basics down below so keep reading. 

Whether you take up upcycling clothes or you’re on your way to learn to sew, a sewing kit will come in handy. 

Basic sewing kit―what’s inside?

To start in style, we’ll kick in with a dictionary. 

Collins Dictionary reports that:

“A sewing kit is a small package containing items, such as needles and thread, that you need to sew something”. 

If only it was so easy!

The actual content of a sewing set is pretty abundant. Not to mention the composition of a professional sewing kit.

The best sewing starter kit―extra tips

Do you like to stand out in everything you do? Want more fancy tricks?

Get an extra piece of advice from Megan Nielsen for the best sewing kit (see also best sewing tips and tricks):

Extra, useful accessories for sewing kits	Description
A bingo magnetic wand	Sounds mysterious, doesn’t it? Megan uses it to pick up the pins scattered around. It’s the law of physics that works for us here. Collecting pins may seem like it takes a second. If you’re experienced, you know that it can be quite bothersome. Having a magic wand at hand can save a lot of time when all the pins are spilled around in complete disorder.
Tweezers	We need them all the time. Who doesn’t know that has simply not acknowledged their power yet.  To list two brief examples: getting into the little nooks of the machine,  helping with threading;. Get yourself a pair and it will make your sewer’s life go super smooth in a blink of an eye.
Beeswax	Keeps you wondering? Try to run your thread through the beeswax before you start hand sewing, and you won’t have more questions.  It will keep you away from: knotting up, and  snagging;
Fray check	Prevents fraying, comes in handy for machine-made buttonholes.
Hem tape	Benefits hemming, to make it quick and easy.

There are also a few treats for your sewing machine (admit it, she has a name). Let’s see what can you add to your small sewing kit to make her happy:

1. 1. Needles―the advice for the best but at the same time basic type are:

• • • Universal, 
    • Knit Ball Point, and 
    • Twin Needle;

1. 2. Basic & Zipper presser foot

1. 3. Tiny little screwdrivers―in case things go bad, become loose, and need fixing. Why not be more secure and peaceful?
