Call it a 'needlecase' or a 'needlebook,' here is a great little tutorial showing you how to make one!
Using fabric, felt, cardboard, a little bit of HeatnBond (Vliesofix) and thread, this project is super quick and simple to construct!
Measurements & cutting:
For the OUTER COVER you will need:
- x1: 9"x6" rectangle of fabric*
- x1: 9"x6" rectangle of HeatnBond/Vliesofix/Bondaweb
- x1: 8"x5" rectangle of thin/lightweight cardboard - I used a green scrap piece as I didn't have any white left!
(*You can very easily use a Fat Quarter to make this project!)
For the TAB you will need:
- x2: 1&1/4"x2&1/4" rectangles of fabric (the same used on the outer cover)
- x1: 1&1/4"x2&1/4" rectangle of lightweight iron-on interfacing
For the FELT PAGES you will need:
- x1: 4&3/4"x7&3/4" rectangle*
- x1: 4&3/4"x7&3/4" rectangle of HeatnBond/Vliesofix/Bondaweb
- x1: 4"x7" rectangle
- x1: 3"x6" rectangle
(*I was able to cut all three rectangles from one A4 piece of felt.)
Additional materials you will need:
- x1: 11mm snap fastener/stud
- Hand sewing needle and matching thread
- Sewing Machine (with matching thread as well)
- Rotary blade, ruler and mat
- Pinking Shears
- Fabric and craft scissors
- Thread snips
- Iron
