I'm trying to figure out the best way to carry
my needles, any suggestions :) I was using a small plastic container, but they all fall out, and I carry different sizes, anything I can make myself :) |
Old RX bottles w/lid .
|
one of those altoid mint boxes with a magnet glued to inside lid :)
|
A quilted pot holder with a hanging loop, folded in half, button applied to catch the loop.
Inside use a Sharpie to neatly mark off sections labeled with your most used needle sizes. If you also sew a couple of slightly overlapped, on the closed end, zipper snack baggies - one facing left open, one facing right open - down the middle of the opened pot holder, and cover that seam with a thin pretty ribbon, you will have a carrying area for thread and scissors, too.

Thank you for enjoying the pot holder idea....and carrying it further.
To give credit where it's due, though, I have to say that it was one year's "favor" at our guild's annual spring luncheon, not my idea. I helped make them that year, though, and still use mine every day. Jan in VA |
There are 5 needle case/needle book patterns on the Victoriana site (scroll down to the sewing accessories section) http://www.victorianaquiltdesigns.ne...ccessories.htm
and one from Marcia at Quilter's Cache http://www.quilterscache.com/H/Howto...eedlecase.html |
