5.0 out of 5 stars Cute Chest, February 20, 2007

Very Cute! A little smaller than expected but wasn't disappointed at all. Also, I was surprised to find out that the chest had an actual finish on it. It wasn't unfinished wood. Nice surprise!

It includes all necessary sewing essentials from thread to thimble.

Definite gift idea for a college student or someone starting out in a small apartment. Would definitely recommend."

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars not quite what I was expecting, January 25, 2007

The chest is very compact and holds quite a bit more stuff than I would have expected, but doesn't quite do what I had hoped. It is very inexpensive, so I wasn't really thinking it would be amazing, however I thought somehow, that the spools of thread would be larger, or that the spacing between them would be greater. I didn't believe I would be getting 100yrd spools of DMC thread or anything, but I had hoped that I could easily reuse the rods with the smaller DMC spools, but I think it'll only hold Gutt. thread spools. Also the poles are pretty short, so it's unlikely I'll be able to store bobbins beneith the spools like I like to.

I do recomend this for anyone who doesn't have a lot of the individual tools, ect, as it's a cheap way to get most of them. You'd still need to buy yourself a nice pair of sheers for cutting fabric, and some ballpoint needles (the needles they include are rather cheap), but other than that you probly wont need to buy anything else for a while.
