Oh, I almost forgot to add one last comment.<br><br>I blew out the seam of an old pair of slacks this morning while boarding the train (I must have had a little too much fruit cake this holiday). The thread was old and gave way so the cloth was in fine shape, which made my repairs easy. <br><br>One of the tiny sewing kits I have has a set of needles that are all ready threaded with diferent color threads. How nice it was to simply start sewing without having the hassle of threading a needle, especially since I was sitting in the bathroom without any pants on!!!<br><br>It dawned on me that I should pre-thread one of my needles in my PSK. I'm sure that the last thing I want to worry about in a survivial situation is thrying to shove the thread through the eye of the needle! This would even be doubly true if I need it in winter conditions.<br><br>It's a simple idea, but I'm sure I'll pat myself on the back someday down the road.
