Stitch at a Time sewing kit using some things you might have already! If you, your church or a group pack multiple shoeboxes or share gifts with numerous individuals through an organization, these are simple to make multiples - even as an assembly line for everyone to participate!
1) Gather ingredients: We used felt, needles, pins, thread and buttons plus a piece of fabric for a ribbon. There is no wrong way to assemble. The easiest method would be placing needles and pins in a small piece of felt then put all items in a small unbreakable container. We did a little something different!
2) Measure an approximate square from the felt to fold over thread spool (this may make more sense after you see all the photos). We used two pieces of felt, the outer slightly larger. We cut two small holes near the spool ends (fairly centered in the felt) and ran the ribbon through one hole, spool then other hole. We may include more thread or a full size spool in our shoeboxes, but this makes for a nice "all in one" size.
3) Back view of square. Tie a gentle knot - don't pull too hard! 
5) Close up of button stitching.
Several of these could be made for little money. A group could easily collect things or have members bring in different items then craft several in an afternoon.
We didn't include scissors or snips in our kits because we always add school scissors to shoeboxes. If we make these for another organization or function we would include something for thread snipping.
We hope you enjoy this project for gift giving or maybe for your own handy use!
