Review by Kaye L. Haveri from :
I recently retired and took up sewing again after 25 years. I didn't even have a sewing machine anymore, so I purchased a new machine. I received this sewing chest for a gift. I keep it next to my machine and use it all of the time. It is so handy and is such a nice compact size. It contains all of the accessories you need for sewing projects. My nine-year old granddaughter has shown an interest in sewing when she comes over, so I bought her a sewing machine and this chest for a Christmas present. I know this chest has everything in it she will need to get started on a great hobby.
Review by R. A. Stewart from A mountain in the WV panhandle:
If you're just a Jane Average sewer that occasionally replaces lost buttons or mends ripped seams, this would be a perfectly fine sewing chest.
My darling husband, bless him, got this for me as a gift, being ever so thoughtful yet clueless about sewing or my related habits. I do quite a lot of sewing, including designing/making clothing, quilting and dollmaking, and I find this thing pretty much useless. The chest itself is OK quality, however, it isn't large enough to hold much in the way of notions and other necessary doodads. The doodads that came with it are all pretty chintzy to me and I doubt I'll ever use them. The rods on the top are short and arranged close enough together that, should you want to store standard thread spools on there, they would not fit, and most serious sewers I know need space for way more colors than could fit on top of there. Only the little bitty spools of cheapy thread that come with the chest can fit.
To me this thing seems lacking in functionality, and is as such an obsolete waste of money which I nevertheless will proudly display in my sewing workspace to placate my husband. As a non-sewer's sewing kit, it would be fine I suppose.

Review by Lindsay K. Lyles from Auburn, AL USA:
The box is small enough to fit nicely wherever, but big enough to hold all of the essentials (that are included). Other buyers have complained about the quality of needles, etc. but for simple tasks such as sewing on buttons and fixing ripped seams they are perfectly fine.
Review by Cindy D. Nelson from :
I wasn't expecting the sun, moon, and stars for $20, but I *was* expecting a quality at least on par with the little sewing kits one can find for five dollars in a grocery store.
The box is beautiful, and will be handy for storage. The tools that come with the box, however, are all but worthless. I don't think I've ever had a needle bend in my grasp from just a few minutes of sewing two layers of cotton fabric before. Nor have I ever had one dull within five minutes of use -- I was sewing a pressing cushion twelve inches long by six inches wide on either end, and had to change needles after completing only one end and about three inches of one side in simple backstitch.
The pinchushion, of course, has not an ounce of emery in it, which is not entirely unexpected, but to add insult to injury, when I switched needles, the threader broke, on only its second use. The only redeeming item in this kit, then, is quite likely the box itself.
