🧷the mending kit I keep restocking

not the pretty tin I bought once and never opened. this is what's actually in my sewing box right now

1
third one in two years. i lose these constantly, still buy this exact one
2
the threader end is what sold me, my eyes are not what they were
4
John James hand sewing needles, assorted pack
definitly the needle brand every mending forum recommends and they're right
5
Gutermann polyester thread, black and white spools
6
beeswax thread conditioner
keeps the thread from tangling and knotting mid-stitch
7
Clover Wonder Clips
replaced pins for hemming, still going strong two years in
8
a flexible rubber thimble, not the metal kind
9
a seam gauge for measuring hems
$4 btw, i don't know why i went years without one
