sewing kit
Portable mending supplies
A sewing kit is a small collection of supplies for mending or making clothes—typically needles, thread, scissors, pins, and buttons.
Travel-sized kits are compact enough for a purse or suitcase: The hotel left a complimentary sewing kit in the bathroom.
More elaborate versions serve serious hobbyists.
