Coquimbo Sewing Kit Mothers Day Gifts for Mom Grandma Women Wife Teen Girls Beginner Traveler, Portable Sewing Supplies Accessories Contains Thread, Needles, Scissors, Dorm Room Essentials (Black)

Arrived today, so I cant yet say how strong the thread is (I will add to this review if any problems arise), but it is a decent little kit - for the price - for taking on vaca for small jobs. Referring to some points made by other reviewers: yes, the thread coils are quite small. But they appear to have more than enough thread to do a few simple jobs each. And there are two each of black and white, and three of light beige, which somewhat compensates for the lack of length. You will eventually need to buy more thread. By small jobs I mean re-attaching buttons, hopefully sewing a hatband onto a felt fedora (why I got it), but I wouldn't expect it to sew up a large rip in pants. As to difficulty in opening the case with the needles, there is a tiny piece of hard-to-see transparent tape securing it in place. This must be removed. After that, the black back piece is pretty easy to remove from the transparent part that actually holds the needles. When you remove that back piece, make sure it is/was on the top side, and hold the case perfectly flat, so no needles will not fall out even if the "hole" happens to be aligned with a needle "slot". Assuming needles dont start falling out, look at the side edge of the transparent part (it is opaque in places, but not the black backing.) You will see a gap at one point. To remove needles you need to rotate the transparent piece until the gap is over the "exit" slot for the needles you want to use. It is fairly difficult to rotate, use two opposing thumbs to turn it. Keep the whole thing level horizontally while you are turning the plastic, because whenever the "gap" goes over an "exit slot", if it's not perfectly level a bunch of needles will fall out. As a beginner, the hardest part is getting the thread into the needle. This kit comes with two threaders, which help a little but its still difficult for an old fogey like me with shaky hands and non perfect eyesight to do. The biggest help for me is this very useful device I got somewhere a long time ago, maybe at a surplus store, a jewelers loupe (?) which is a thing with a strap that goes around your head, a little light, and a strong magnifying glass that goes down over you eyes. That brings intense magnification to bear while leaving your hands free. But you probably wont take that on vacation, so, get a pair of strong reading/magnifying gasses (get them at a dollar store, they are way too expensive elsewhere). Also, the thimble is a ring with no top, which may actually be more useful than a regular one since I push the needles with my finger tip, not the top of my finger. We'll see. Thats a pretty long review for a $7 item, and I will add to it after I actually try it. OK,adding now after first use, sewing a hatband onto a felt hat. First, the thread is weak. It broke on me once when pulling through the felt. Thread is fuzzy, obviously not a strong polyester. Also, I was wrong about their 'ring' thimble being OK. A real thimble works much better. You get what you pay for.

l had just bought the shirt at the Store. And the first time I wore it out for the day was at a kid's birthday party. I noticed the tear on one Side of the Shirt, but not the other. It looked like one cut it with scissors very deliberately and it was unraveling at the seams. I tucked it in for the rest of the party But I do have a psychotic roommate. So I wouldn't put it past her especially since I didn't notice the shirt until I was at the birthday party oddly and awkwardly unraveling despite all that. And focused on the kit I am happy with the color options the thred. I like the the sewing needles that have are two-toned which does make it easier to see and they are prettier and easier on the eyes. Also I like the other items that it comes with, I have never also never experienced such a sturdy needle threader. I decided on the llamas because it stands out. It is a small kit, that I would like to keep track of. The llama and color design helps it not get easily misplaced. Perfect for traveling or Storing in drawer. I'm not an expert at sewing but I this is a good lil sewing Kit. Before this, I only ever bought sewing kits from the dollar store this is definitely big upgrade for a few extra dollars

Gets the job done well. The sewing pins are very strong. Though I did have an issue with the holder pins or what ever you call them; the ones with the ball at the top, they bend with not that much force, I recommend not using those for denim but they should be fine for other repairs. The case is surprisingly compact, if you want to carry it on the go its a decent option.

The Coquimbo Sewing Kit is a thoughtful and practical gift for anyone—mom, grandma, women, men, teens, boys, beginners, or travelers. It comes well-stocked with essential sewing tools and supplies, making it perfect for quick repairs, travel, or learning to sew. Compact and organized, it’s easy to carry and use on the go. A versatile and handy kit that makes sewing simple and convenient for all ages.

i bought this just to have around for emergencies and it’s already been worth every penny. the case is small enough to just toss in a drawer or a bag but it actually has everything you’d need like needles, a ton of thread colors, and even some scissors that actually cut. it’s super easy to use even if you aren't a pro at sewing and the quality of the tools is way better than i expected for the price. i used it to fix a rip in my jeans and a loose button on a work shirt and it worked perfectly. definitely a must have for travelers or anyone living in a dorm who doesn't have a full sewing machine handy. 5 stars for sure.

Light weighted, easy to carry, variety of colors, good quality.

The needles are so thin and small. The quality of threads are not good.

This set is well-organized and maintains a lot of options for beginners. It looks nice and easy to use, making it good for any beginner that is invested in learning.

Well put together

Wir haben uns das kleine und platzsparende Nähset für unseren Wohnwagen gekauft. Wer kennt es denn nicht, man ist unterwegs im Urlaub und entdeckt das ein Kleidungsstück oder sonstiges dringend genäht werden müsste. Aber im Urlaub hat man für gewöhnlich nicht wirklich etwas zum nähen dabei. Somit haben wir jetzt Abhilfe geschaffen. In dem Nähset ist alles vorhanden um Kleinigkeiten zu nähen. Bislang habe ich noch nichts vermisst. Ich muss zugeben, ich habe mit nähen nicht viel am Hut und meine Künste sind auch eher dürftig, somit kann ich nicht wirklich beurteilen inwieweit z.B. das Garn gut ist. Für unsere Zwecke reicht es zumindest. Auch die Farbauswahl vom Garn ist ausreichend, denn wer braucht schon im Urlaub für mal eben was zu nähen eine große Palette an Farbauswahl. Niemand. Alle anderen enthaltenen Gegenstände machen auch einen guten Eindruck. Es sind wirklich viele Nadeln dabei. Das Case ist für unterwegs wirklich praktisch, nichts fliegt einfach so herum. Zudem ist es federleicht und lässt sich dank der kleinen Größe super verstauen. Insoweit ist alles top.

Product quality is very poor.. 5 ,5rupay ka saman h sara .market me 5 rapay me mil jayega... Hm ghr pe isliye mangwate h ki bahar nhi jana padega or ye log itna ganda saman bhej dete h...

Excellent basic sewing kit.
