I recently purchased this buddy case to carry in my Namaste train case because they matched and I really love the feel of the materials. Both sides are magnetic and I was pleasantly surprised to find my embroidery scissors stay put! I have been stabbed by them in other cases so this was awesome. I have used the tin for beads for a project and now it has stitch markers. my measuring tape fits neatly in the case and I found a little pencil in my drawer that is well-suited for taking notes in the little notebook without having a pen rolling around. Fits perfectly in the train case!
