I love these two needles, which I use to finish crochet ends, sew two crochet pieces together and also to wave stitching as the needles point is round, not pointy, and it's safe for the latter. For the rest, the needles are quite large but also very light. I've used them with thick crochet thread and also with yarn. I've also tried to use them on thick watercolor paper, but they were not good for that, unless I'm doing weaving stitching. These are mending needles but I think I use them just for yarn and woolen stuff. I love the container. I keep in it not only these two needless, but also most of my large needles; the container has a screw crap, which keeps all safely stored.

I love this thread because of its quality and strength. This is the thin version of the thread; having used this brand thread in both thicknesses, I can say that I prefer the thicker version over this one. However, this is still an excellent thread, perfect for stitching and mending in general, and for Shashiko stitching in particular. I bought it to use it in my artwork on paper or small pieces of fabric and does the job; it's great for flat stitching, not as much as as for embroidery as it doesn't have the volume and thickness necessary for that.
I love the flat bobbin format, as it's easy to put away, the thread does not get entangled and it has a rabbet to hold the thread tip neatly.
Needless to say, I love this thread bright intense colour.
I love this thread because of the quality, strength and thickness of the thread. It's great for stitching in general and for stitching on paper particularly, something I do often in my artwork. I love the flat bobbin packaging, as it's easy to store away and the thread does not entangle. This thread is perfect for Sashiko stitching and any other decorative flat stitching, but not for embroidery stitching.
This is a set of two identical faux-vintage tailor awls. They're re very light and easy to handle. The point is really sharp and has a protective sleeve, and really useful to perforate both fabric and watercolour paper without tearing them apart. I haven't tried them on leather, though. Very good priced. I wish they have been two different awls instead of two of the same as one of the product page photos seems to suggest that this is the case.
I bought this pack to use it for stitching in my artwork. The mix of colours is lovely and varied and includes the main colour families. The bobbins are half the size, or less, of average bobbins (see my photo), but that doesn't bother me as I won't be using them to sew garments or in big projects. What bothers me is the quality of the thread, which is average, not good; as the thread is quite thin, I need to use it doubled so that it's noticeable on the paper. The needle threader is handy but it's also paper thin. The container box is nice and handy to keep all the bobbins tidily stored.
Good quality, sharp blades and excellent price. This trimmer is a bit larger and bigger than I wanted it to be, but it's good overall. See my photos beside my kitchen scissors and my small craft scissors.
