I must be the 'light packer' here! ;o) <BR/>My little portable sewing 'box' (which isn't even a box at all) has: a pair of scissors, a few applique needles, sewing needles, needle threader and thread along with my cut out fabric pieces. That's it! I love hand sewing...it's so portable.<BR/>I have another little sewing bag for my hand quilting and it has my thread, Thread Heaven, needles,scissors, thimble and needle threader. With those two little bags in hand (and they both could fit in one hand), I'm good to go! :oDTraceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09739922904822662425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-1155473319433201182006-08-13T05:48:00.000-07:002006-08-13T05:48:00.000-07:00Great stuff...I think the only other things I have...Great stuff...I think the only other things I have are post-it-notes and those "tag a quilt" tags that are numbered by row and block.

Pretty much the same as yours and the others, but I do keep a small spiral notebook in mine, colored pencils, a sharpener..some of the sticky spots for ruler backs, post a notes, and a calculator.<BR/>I also have bandaids in a couple of sizes,pain relievers, safety pins, and due to the "eye" stuff, one or two of those sterile water Refresh tubes. Oh, and a spare name tag..LOLFinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677133672404343036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-1155442540629794712006-08-12T21:15:00.000-07:002006-08-12T21:15:00.000-07:00Mine doesn't have much that yours doesn't.

I have several spools of thread - gray, black, beige, and whatever is left over from last time. =) I only have one marking pencil, a gold Caran d'ache watercolor. It's visible on everything but yellow and I almost never use yellow. I have to buy them at the art store. I have a needlebook and one of those little pin cushions that's in a soda lid and fits over the thumb.<BR/><BR/>The plastic box is very practical. I have a wooden box which has a handle on the end and the top slides out. It has a piece of sandpaper on top of it, for applique. I have these boxes in 3 sizes, because a friend's father made them. =)Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-1155430278154281092006-08-12T17:51:00.000-07:002006-08-12T17:51:00.000-07:00I carry with me nearly everything you have.

I can store my project in the bottom of the container. Inside the lift out tray I keep a ruler, rotary cutter, scissors and pincushion. I also have two smaller boxes to hold extra needles, threads, thimble, floss, glue, a sheet of freezer paper, breath mints *s*, and some coins. Some of the gals chide me on my stash of supplies -- but they always know where to go if they have left something behind.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-1155406947878726472006-08-12T11:22:00.000-07:002006-08-12T11:22:00.000-07:00I currently do not have a "portable sewing box" - ...I currently do not have a "portable sewing box" - but I probably would do the same as you - use a small plastic box.

I've tried different things and this works best. <BR/><BR/>((HUGS))Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230311970559999653noreply@blogger.com
