Not much.

Saddler's/harness needles (2); awl; stitch marker (pricking wheel or pricking iron); linen thread, knife (Stanley would do).

Could even do without the stitch marker if you have a ruler, patience and a steady hand.

Or an old fork

Yep, that's what I use. A fork, 1.5mm drill bit in a Makita and my only true tool is a line marker chisel that I got from China for £2.49 ....oh , and some waxed thread that came with two needles.
