I did make my own. I looked at all of them in this swap, and a few I found online, then put the things I liked the best into one. It has four pockets, one is the shape and size for a thimble, one for needles, one for a seam ripper or small zissors, one longer for a acrylic board or buttons, and then I put in the ribbob for a slender spool of thread and the felt pages for pins. I made it a rectangle, but when I cut the end at an angle for the flap, it made a thimble pocket. I used a button and ribbon wrapped around for the closure.

They are 12x7 over all before sewing, but when finished and trifolded they are about 6x3 1/2. I used ultra thin batting in side for padding. They are just right to throw in a purse or a suitcase and have all you need to mend or repair something as you go! I just need to get the threads, bobbins and needles for the pockets.

I've made four since yesterday when I made that first blue set for myself. LOL. I'm going to make the pin cushions to match and give the sets for Christmas gifts.

Do we have any swappers, living on another planet, maybe? Maybe the tracking number would help solve the mystery.

quiltymom

No she didn't put in on she said.

Do you know if it's an international swap? Sometimes those can take a long time, to travel. I hope it arrives soon!

quiltymom, keep us posted. I surely do hope it arrives soon.

quiltymom

No it isn't actually not to far away!!!

It must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. That does happen unfortunately, bless your heart.

jigs1354 and I had a private needlecase swap as we were too late to join the main one. This is the wonderful needlecase I received. She included a load of extras and I love it. Thank you so much Shirley

How sweet! Love the detachable pincushion (if that is what the yellow pillow is).
