It seems like Thursday is turning into “ignoring my to do list” day. Last week it was that quick tidying that turned into an all day project. This week I just *had to* make a new needle book. So I did. ;-)
That’s the outside of it up there. I love that fabric. It’s neon pink, what more can you want? (It’s Ellen Luckett Baker Rough Cut – Botanica in neon pink, in case you’re wondering.)
The button is a vintage one I had in my stash. Actually, the whole thing is made from my stash, so that’s good!
There are two felt ‘pages’ for the needles. Luckily, I had some felt in exactly the same colour as the internal fabric.
The internal fabric, I love the subtle colour of this fabric. I usually pick colours that are much more in your face, but I like it toned down sometimes.
And look, the inside is quilted AND there are two pockets in the needle book. I need that. Somewhere to keep thread and scissors. Maybe even a few bits of fabric and EPP templates. You never know when you might find yourself with a bit of time that need to be filled with some needle work.
I have to point out this scallop edging, which I made with my scallop pinking scissors. Isn’t it cute? :-)
