What about a vest from 2nd hand store, use it like fisherman do and attach your rotary cutter, flat head pins, seam ripper, bobbins, scissors on a ribbon. For vest back stitch on a large quilt block... then a patchwork skirt or a quilt done into a wrap skirt, print out small quilt blocks & glue to old shoes, like others said your necklace could be a tape measure maybe with spools of thread on it, ..... a few quick thoughts.
