Folding Needle Book with Pincushion
You can make this needle book completely out of felt or make a fabric needle book that is all fabric except for the felt pincushion. This needle book not only has a place to put your needles, but a built-in pincushion and pocket too. Use the pocket to hold your thimble, small or folding scissors, and package of needles. Both the felt and the fabric needle books can be made using all hand embroidery stitches. Or if you prefer to use machine embroidery stitches for your fabric needle book you can do that instead. The choice is yours. Either one you choose to make they use small amounts of material. You can even up-cycle an old wool garment for the wool needle book.

I love color and textiles and that is why I started making quilts, quilted wall hangings and then got hooked on making handbags and other bags. I sell my handbags on my blog too. I started a blog in 2008 to document everything that I make. I blog at https://www.patchouli-moon-studio.blogspot.com Please drop by and see what I create.
I have designed a few patterns in pdf format to sell here and I also offer a few free pdf patterns as well.
