Basic Emergency Sewing Kit

I've a lot of sewing supplies. However, for most people a basic emergency sewing kit will do to fix seam rips, repair hems, or secure buttons.

Sewing Needles
Needle threader
Blunt Nose scissors
Thimble
Safety pins
Straight pins
Tape measure
Tweezers
Small spools of thread of favorite color clothing such as
black, white, navy, red, red, yellow, green, pink, etc.
Some regular size shirt buttons

You can get a small kit with simple basics at the Dollar Store for only $1.00 plus tax.

To this kit I'd add
Black and white button thread
Self threading Sewing needles
Some small squares of patch or backing material

Note that dental floss and a sewing needle can be used to make an emergency repair in a pinch.
