A Needle Case for your needle packets

Who doesn't need a special something to hold their needle packets? Since I use a lot of different types of needles in my embroidery, I like to keep them in their packets. I've made a needle case to organize my packets that will help me find the needles I need easily.

To make the needle case, you'll need:

• your finished embroidery, 12 inches long by 6 inches wide
• light weight cotton for the lining, 27 inches long by 6 inches wide
• #12 perle cotton
• a small length of ribbon
• 2 pieces of skirtex or light weight cardboard, 5-1/2 inches by 5 inches each
• a hot iron
  

I stitched a stumpwork design for my needle case but the finishing instructions will work for surface and counted embroidery, including cross stitch and crazy quilting.

I hope you will enjoy making your own needle case and will find this tutorial useful. If you have any questions or need clarification on any of the steps, leave a comment here and I will try to answer in this section for everyone's benefit.

Apr FAL weekend - Anne S

My finishing plans didn't quite work out as intended last weekend, so my finishing streak came a bit later in the week ... I finally managed to get something finished tonight, which was my Bumble the Bee Waxer Pocket by Moss Creek Designs. It didn't work out too badly for a first attempt at this sort of finishing :) (The photos should be clickable for a slightly bigger version.)

I've been really impressed with everyone's finishing this week - you all did a wonderful job! :D
