It was fun to watch you create these little needlebooks....you are a very practical sewer and I picked up a few tips from you! These would make lovely stocking stuffers for Christmas for all my friends who sew or do embroidery. Thank you!💞
I am making them for Christmas gifts this year ..I am on my sixth one and I found them getting more and more elaborate...Love projects that use up scraps..
I love this video. Simple and clear instructions with lots of tips. Very nicely done. I'm going to attempt to make some of these for Christmas presents for some friends and coworkers.
Loved this tutorial! It’s simple, yet love the trim decor. Mostly I love that this needle book is rather quick to make. Thank you! Hope to see more of your tutorials!
Thank you! Always good to have quick projects for charity sales/ giveaways etc and I particularly like the way you can put your own personality into a project.
Thank you so much for your comments. I get very frustrated when you watch a video and there’s so much chit chat around the subject before they get to it and so decided to get straight to the point on ours. Sue x
I just found out about needle cases, and I stumbled across your video. You give so many helpful tips, especially about turning fabric right side out. I have always struggled with this process because I did it incorrectly. Thanks to you, turning fabric out will be easier for me. Your designs are simple and lovely, and your instructions are easy to understand. Thank you very much.
I appreciate your clear and helpful tutorial. I have some project bags that need their own needle books and these are perfect to add to the bags. They won't take too long and I can coordinate them to each bag. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, you just need to follow the basic idea, scale it up, add more layers, make the decoration your own and who knows what you’ll end up with. Start getting creative! ❤️
This looks a lovely little simple project. Definitely going to make one. I think I might cut my felt with my zig zag scissors to make the edges look pretty.
What a great tutorial! Lots of great general tips too, thanks a lot! Question about the pages of the book: can I use something other than felt? Felt is the one thing I do not have in my stash of scraps 🙄
Thank you for your kind comments. I’ve only ever used felt but I think as long as the fabric doesn’t fray and your needles can be inserted easily it shouldn’t be a problem, definitely worth trying out some from your stash.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial!! I've been needing something to keep all my needles in one place! Can I ask what weight of interfacing you use here? Would a lightweight or midweight interfacing work best for this project? I'm still really new to sewing and learning about interfacing
These are really great to make as gifts too. The weight of interfacing is dependent on what weight fabric you use and how stiff you’d like the finish to be. The main purpose of interfacing is to strengthen or stabilise your fabric, it will add strength where you are making buttonholes or give a crisp finish to a collar but it will also stop loose weave fabrics from distorting while sewing. Hope that explains a little more. We’d love to see some of your makes!
You can get sew in or iron on interfacing. I’ve used iron on, much easier as it stays in place. There’s either a shiny or bumpy side which is the glue so make sure that this side faces the back of the fabric. Take care that the iron isn’t too hot as it can shrivel the interfacing.
Another helpful video - thanks. Can I just ask - why do you lengthen your stitch for top stitching - is that a personal preference or is there a particular reason for doing so? Thanks.
With a longer stitch it's slightly easier to go in a straight line, it shows the thread up more too. Have a play with stitch lengths to see the difference and you can then decide what you like best.
Do you not fill a need to label the needles by size or manufacturer? Then why not just use a commercial needle box or case or holder? What is the value of this over commercial needle boxes?
I thoroughly enjoyed making these! I learnt a huge amount doing it too. Thank you!

Excellent tutorial. I just finished a small cross stitch design that I will make into a needle book following these instructions. Thank You.

Quite simple, but so functional. Very nice.

Great tutorial. I’ve seen a few needle case videos recently and this one seems the most practical and provides good construction tips.
Thank you! You've taken the mystery out of it for me! Now I can finish a needle case that I cross-stitched a couple of years ago.
Another great tutorial! Looks very easy to do!
Thanks Sue great little gifts
Thank you.. you made it easier than i did...so npw i can make some to sell quicker 😊

Great idea, pinking shears give a lovely finish.

Do you have flannel? That works. You can use regular cotton fabric if that’s what you have. You might pink the edges to discourage fraying!
cool project
What is the name of the tool you use to feed rhe material under the needle? That is such a great idea!
It’s a Tailors awl, very useful tool but anything pointed would help.
I use a screw driver for this purpose. Works very well! 👍🏻

@@fionasfabrics3388 That helps a lot! Thank you for the explanation!
I've never worked with interfacing or wadding. How do you get it to stick to the outer fabric? Is it self-adhesive, or did you use iron make it stick?
You can get sew in or iron on interfacing. I’ve used iron on, much easier as it stays in place. There’s either a shiny or bumpy side which is the glue so make sure that this side faces the back of the fabric. Take care that the iron isn’t too hot as it can shrivel the interfacing.

These are so cute! Your pin cushion is so adorable, where did you find that??
It was a gift from a friend, super cute!
