Kit, Sewing

Description
A sewing kit used in the production of leather items which consists of a rectangular piece of card with two centre slots. A piece of thick thread is wrapped around the card lengthways. This is secured in place by running the thread through the slots in the card. A curved rusty needle is attached to some finer thread and tucked into the bulk of the thicker thread. The reverse has another two rusty needles tucked into the bulk of the thread.
