Any of the leatherworkers up for making something like this ?

[Robbi]

basically yes, i'll try and find a piccy.

here ya go.......



of course, any amount of that foam can be stuck on where you want it.

I would like,
at least one reel of strong linen thread.
Flat bobbins (they come in plastic now) with a couple of other useful threads, like artificial sinew and heavyweight nylon.
A plait of assorted threads for repairing clothing, buttons, etc.,
Decent needles, and some heavy weight ones that will do for leather or canvas.
An awl ( my sewing ones are called stilettos).
A threading tool (bodkin).
A pocket to take a mini plastic press close bag for buttons and safety pins.
A thimble and a leather pull through for stubborn needles/fabrics.
A small pair of decent scissors.
A small bit of beeswax.

I think that's it really.
Anyone else ?

What about a patch of fitted material for keeping needles and pins in?

I was actually replying to the "anything missing" question but you posted in the meantime... Somewhat serendipitously.

Robbi sent me some of his foam and I have it on my desk right now with long fine needles in it. It's very good stuff
He said that fishermen use it to hook flies into wallets.

Of course the bushcraft method would be to use fomes for it
Fomes I can do

cheers,

if it's just needles, pins and thread you want to carry,........this would do the trick.

That looks like a nice compact one, great for hikes etc.
