As a gift for my younger sibling's birthday, I'm putting together a small fabric goods repair kit (I often patch and fix stuff for them, and they've expressed an interest in learning for themselves). Off the top of my head, I've picked out these items:
- A speedweve-type darning loom, plus darning needle and some floss
- Sewing needles and thread
- Thread scissors
- Threading tools
- Some small pieces from my patch pile

Does anyone else have any items they recommend?

@mdmarron seconding pincushion or needlebook. what a lovely idea :)
@mdmarron a small piece of fusible interfacing might be a fun addition.
