My Father's Navel Sewing Kit
Phil Clark was a member of the U.S. Navy during W.W.II and the Korean Conflict.
My father taught me to sew, read a pattern and drive a sewing machine. He was an engineer by training who viewed sewing as a logical extension. Blue prints and machines.
The sewing kit he had with him aboard the USS Toucan during the Korean War.
Back to my sewing kit which I made a few years ago but haven't used a lot. I saw the blue print in a magazine and made it as a showcase for my grandmother's buttons.
All the small pockets seemed just right for the tools I would need on the plane and while waiting.The pincushion in the center has been very useful while stitching 2" klosjes.

The sewing kit he had with him aboard the USS Toucan during the Korean War.It is modern plastic the buttons are of navy uniform color and the needles in the lid are still threaded.
A comforting find at this time.

The whole kit when folded up is the size of my hand.
Thank you for allowing me to share mine and my father's tools of the trade with you.
Thanks for visiting Terry

Your sewing kit is real cute. I love your Dad's navel sewing kit too. When I visited some war museums that DH always go too. I would look for sewing kits that used to belong to thesoldiers. I have seen some interesting ones. Did you find it amongst your Mum's stuff? Glad you managed to post pics. Hanging in there - Love Nat
