Live Dorm Smart Tip: Learn How to Make the Perfect Dorm Room Sewing Kit for College Students.

Let’s face it. The vast majority of college students just aren’t into sewing. However, from time to time, we all need to make small repairs, such as tightening a loose hem or replacing a button. So instead of purchasing a cheap sewing kit that really doesn’t do the trick or a more expensive sewing kit that you may never use, consider purchasing a few basic sewing supplies and storing them in a decorative box or container in your dorm room.

Basic Sewing Kit for College Students contains:

  • Decorative box or container for storage
  • 1 spool each of black, white, navy, red and neutral color polyester thread (polyester thread is a good all purpose thread for repair projects)
  • Package of sewing needles
  • Sharp scissors (You’ll need a good pair for sewing repairs, school projects…)
  • Assortment of safety pins
  • Assortment of buttons
  • Straight pins
  • Pin cushion
  • Thimble
  • Measuring tape (Great for taking measurements if you like shopping online for clothes.)

If you have never sewn, take a quick lesson from an experienced friend or family member to learn the basics about how to thread a needle, repair a hem, or sew on a button... before moving to campus.
