I made one for myself for my cross stitch items a couple years ago. Opened up it is 12" long by 6 1/2: tall. Two different but coordinating fabric prints with batting and quilted in a simple cross hatch pattern. The lower section is divided off into four sections to hold clips,sissors, thimbles etc. Then I took two pieces of white wool about 6 x 4 1/2", folded then in two and stitched them down the middle (like book pages) to hold needles and my magnetic needle holders. Bound all my raw edges as I would a quilt. Mine closes with a black button and black pony tail holder pulled over the button. Nothing fancy, but I've gotten alot of compliments on it and a few "will you make me one?" from others.
