It’s got a real MacGyver feel to it.

It looks a lot to this 100 yen sewing set:
I expect that I will not have to buy another one in my lifetime.

I was going to say it looks like a dollar-store set, so yeah — checks out.

Everything except a multi-color set of iron-on patch material. Works wonders on kids’ leggings with the knees worn thru (ask me how I know!) The big box craft stores usually sell a pack for cheaper than this… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N78MZYM
If youget to a certain age without knowing some basics of sewing (and cooking) likely it’s too late.
I learned as a kid, making clothes for.my trolls. Nothing special, but I learned the basics, and after about age sixteen nobody sewed buttons back on or shortened or patched pants but me. I can’t make clotges, but I can do repairs.
Hence a kit like this isn’t much use. I’ve gotten bits over the years as needed. You accumulate over time, so a kit wouldn’t offer much. I’m still buying, I have a bigger kit already.
I.must say that dollar stores are a good source. Why buy expensive needles when you can get more for.less at a dollar store? Mkst of these items cwn be found there, even whole kits if you really need one.
