After watching several needle book videos, this is what I created. Some of the items will probably be removed as it is rather thick.

| Front with lace, buttons, and a flower. |
Elastic was used as the button closure.  |
 |
| This is the last of my mother's sewing labels. She passed in 1989. |
 |
| Double Needle and extra machine needles |
 |
| I used pieces of felt, pinking shears, lace, buttons, lace, and lots of hot glue. |
 |
| One must have safety pins. |
 |
| A few more pins. |
 |
| I just played with this needle threader. Maybe it has a place in my world. |
 |
| I glued the needle case onto a flower. |
 |
| I love these clips. This was a fun project. Next I need to make some scrap bowl to catch all of the threads and clippings! |
I LOVE this idea! I NEED one of these! Searching for a needle in the "threadstack" is not fun. Thank You! 😀
ReplyDeleteOnce you look at some of the videos, you'll see that they can be simple or as Victorian as you'd like.
DeleteThat is just so pretty - and with a great function as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Now that I've joined two sewing groups, I need to have all of my needs met without carrying every drawer with me.
DeleteA friend of mine gave me a beautiful doily that I had another friend make into a needle book. I love min and you will enjoy yours for years to come.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the ladies in the quilting group had a flat needle book and I needed something other than a wrist pin cushion. It's not a safe way to carry them.
DeleteThis is so clever and I like how you added your moms labels and how you glued the needle case onto the flower. Full of memories and useful to boot. I've been wanting to make one of these and never considered using a glue gun! great ideas : )
ReplyDeleteI actually sewed and quilted the entire book. Then, I glued everything else.
DeleteIt's wonderful! : )
DeleteLove It. I need to learn to make 2 pin cushions.
ReplyDeleteThis is an easier way to carry things to our "Sit N Sew."
