An absolutely brilliant Tutorial. You explained everything so well, and helped me so much. I prefer the neat edge and could use your method to make patch work covers for any project. Journal, pouch, envelope etc. i am so inspired and thankful.
Marlene, so sorry for not replying to your comment sooner. We’ve been away for a few days. Thank you so much for your lovely comment about this tutorial. I’m thrilled you found it useful. Thank you to for watching and leaving me a comment. I always like reading them. Have a great day and hugs from me. C xx
Cecilia, you are so welcome! Sorry it took me a wee while to get my act together but got there finally for you. Hope you still decide to have a go and make one. Hugs, C.xx
This is a wonderful project Carol. So pretty and so functional. I really love it. Your tutorials are always so clear and straightforward too. Thank you so much for sharing this. I might have to give this a go too! 😂🤗🦋💗😘
Laws, thanks for saying the instructions were clear... sounded like babble at this end. It's an easy project to do so if you have a moment give it a go. You're will be so pretty with all those lovely fabrics you have. Hugs🤗🦋💗😘C.xx
Hi Carol! I watched Angela this morning doing a walk through of your PHENOMENAL Swap Journal. As Angela kept saying, "Everything is done to perfection ladies", and I couldn't agree more 🙂 So, needless to say, I am a New Subbie looking forward to follow along with you and your fabulous projects ~ including this beautiful Needle Case 😊 Have an awesome day Carol❣
Eileen, what a lovely comment. Thank you so much and a very warm welcome. I hope you enjoy watching a few of my videos and find a little inspiration. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, C.xx
HI Lorna, delighted you're an new subbie and a big warm welcome from me. Hope you like the bits and bobs I make and show on my channel. I'm a bit of a softie when it comes to needle cases/needlebooks too.... I'm now up to my 4th.....lol. Hope you enjoy this mini series for this one. Really really easy to do. Enjoy. C xx
Hi Carol! I’m a new subscriber and I’m so happy I found your channel. I love this project. Your instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I know it takes a lot of work to prep for this and I appreciate the work you did to do this. Not great at sewing (my mother was a seamstress, LOL), I think I rush too much. But, I’m going to give this a go, it seems fairly easy. I’m looking forward to your next part. ❤️
Big Warm Welcome! My mum use to knit and I'm no great shakes at that...isn't it funny. Delighted you are going to give it a go. Check out the comment from Carol Rigby to use bondaweb instead of glue if you are not going to sew... but I know you can sew really. Your mum wouldn't have let you off that easily....lol. C.xx
I have looked and looked for a simple needle book that I can make and I think this is beautiful and fits the bill. Thanks so much Carol for sharing. Btw, I love your channel.❤️
Thank You For Doing The Video, These Are Just Lovely Little Needle Cases, Hope You Don’t Mind Me Saying I Think The Blue Would Look Lovely Inside The Orange, Just Beautiful Fabric, TYFS Lynn
Lynn, no absolutely not. I'm please for the suggestion. You know what it's like, you just can't decide. Sooooo glad I made the right choice thought and went with the blue...phew. Hugs C.xx
Oh Karen, can I have a sneak peek if you do? I'd love to see it... but no pressure if you'd rather not. They do lend themselves to slow stitching don't they. Thanks for leaving me a comment and also for watching. C.xx
What a clever little project ... I think even a non-sewer like me to could give this a go! Doing a walk-through first was a wonderful idea, explaining the different options and all the little tips you provided was great, thanks. That 'watercolour' fabric you showed is to die for - so beautiful, such gorgeous colours! I look forward to playing along with this series ... blue or green? Which will she chose? TFS. L.
Lol... welcome my lovely friend. Hmmm, I'll keep you guessing on the felt front ! Now as for being a non-sewer. Hmmm, me thinks you jest there. Hugs C.xx
A great project Carol. I was thinking that you could use bondaweb as an alternative to fabri tac or other glues to attach the fabric pieces. I love to see wool felt so much more tactile than synthetic. 💕
Hi Carol! I am finally biting the bullet and I'm going to make these for Christmas gifts this year. So I'm watching this tutorial for the third time because it is SO GOOD!!! I do have a question for you. Is your felt 100% wool? I have found that the felt I get in my local fabric store (that has polyester in it) is difficult to pierce with my needles. Please keep these tutorials coming. Your work is so beautiful.
Hi Karen, thank you for that lovely compliment about the tutorial. That was so kind of you and has made my day. Yes the felt I used is wool felt. I find the same with cheaper felts and to be honest I don't actually like the feel of it. If you can use the wool felt it will look and feel a lot nicer especially if these are for Xmas gifts. If yo have any other questions on the video just shout, happy to help. Hugs C xx
Ha ha, I do that all the time Elizabeth... to my journals, snippet roll and pin case...lol. I enjoy making them so much they take on a wee personality to me. Daft I know but hey, C'est la Vie. C.xx
Lol.... always the way, isn't it 🙂 Yes 100 % wool felt Karen. Have a great day and hope you enjoy making this little needle case. If you want another idea for Xmas that is sewing related take a look at the mini collapsible thread catchers. There are loads of videos on YT for these but one that will give you the basic idea is here : ruclips.net/video/g5grrcDmmVM/видео.html. This lady uses the top of a mason jar but I prefer a plastic or cardboard ring. That's what I used for mine and it is really sturdy and was just the top from a Pringles tub. I'm never without my thread catcher, either when I'm away travelling or just n the lounge at night sewing. Soooo easy to make to. Hugs C xx
My needle case looks nothing like yours lol it is definitely Scrappy bits, I have some beautiful fabrics I was gifted along with a win ( Angela Kerr) I will be making one of these. Take care.
Oh fantastic... hope you can follow my babbling ok? I can imagine the gorgeous fabrics that Angela gifted you, Ann. She has such an eye for colour, whether it's fabric or papers, doesn't she? Let me know how you get on with the needle case if you have a moment. I'd love to know. C xx
a stitch and flip method would make this easier and faster. you could lay out the pattern of material you like take a photo to refer back to. lovely tutorial
The photo method is a good one and I've used that on other projects. Not quite sure what you mean by the stitch and flip method though. Sorry If I'm being a bit slow here. C xx

Lovely project. Thank you for the piano paper and spool...so much to play with .
You are so welcome, Catherine. My pleasure. Hugs, C.xx

Beautiful! Thanks for the details. Looks possible to try and employ slow stitching :)

Yes, definitely Carol, much better idea. Should have mentioned that. Thanks so much for mentioning it. C.xx

A lovely little project Carol. I noticed you kept referring to it as “her”. Do you have a name for her?
Ha ha, I do that all the time Elizabeth... to my journals, snippet roll and pin case...lol. I enjoy making them so much they take on a wee personality to me. Daft I know but hey, C'est la Vie. C.xx
In my youth, I used to name my cars. One was named moose because it sounded like one whenever I made a turn.
You just answered my question!
Lol.... always the way, isn't it 🙂 Yes 100 % wool felt Karen. Have a great day and hope you enjoy making this little needle case.

The photo method is a good one and I've used that on other projects. Not quite sure what you mean by the stitch and flip method though. Sorry If I'm being a bit slow here. C xx
the stitch and flip is also referred as the quilt as you go, or crazy quilting. all edges are sewn so no raw edges or having to turn raw edges under.
Ahhhh I understand now Melanie. I'm not a quilter so didn't know the term. Thank you so much for explaining. Hugs C xx
This is great! Hugs 🤗
Thank you! 🤗 C.xx
I've made mine carol, do you have a fb page or Instagram?
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
💕💕💕 Hugs C xx
I humbly and lovingly need to say that there no such word as “everythinK” sorry xx
