I also received by needlecase. My swap partner put a lot of thought into it and I absolutely love it. She said she repurposed old ties and a clasp from a pocketbook. Since the pictures won't do it justice, I tell you that there is machine embroidery in lavender on it. The basic color is brown, different shades (which is my favorite) and seed beads as center for the delicate embroidered flowers. On the inside there is a place for a pair of sissors with a lavender snap, a pocket for incidentals, a place for a spool of thread and felt for keeping the needles. I can't tell you how thrilled I am with this needle case. I only hope the person receiving the one I made likes it as well. Elayne (roserips) I hope you don't mind if I copy your pattern.
