Itsy bitsy teeny weeny sewing kit

There are some things every home/dorm room/apartment should have in case of emergency:

toilet plunger- need I explain why?
draino (or some earth friendly alternative)-especially necessary if you have long hair
fabric scissors-for when you need to make cut off shorts
some sort of sedative- for the occasional breakup or hyper manic episode (you know who you are)
a mini sewing kit- that's what this post is about!
Whether you're a seamstress or completely naive about sewing, like myself, a mini sewing kit is a must have. I usually keep one in my desk at home and one in my purse, but there are a lot of options out there, depending on your needs. Here are some of my very favorite, affordable options.
I love the bright colors of these and the leather will hold up for a long time.

Another Altoid tin creation but this one has a removable felt needle book that attaches to top. How smart is that?
