I have been using up my tiny scraps to make these little needle books. They are 3 inchs by 3 inches. Thanks for looking!

I organized my fabric into a nice palette of colors by using some of my quart canning jars. It has been so easy to find my fabric rather tha rummaging through the drawer that I had thrown them all in!

ooooh I would be having fun too if I was making those!! what neat little needle books!!! I also love how you filled your jars with fabrics.... Very cute little idea to show off in your sewing room!!

I had to bookmark this thread!! Those little needle books would make cute little Christmas gifts!

i love the idea of storing scraps in the canning jars! I just may have to copy that. Did you know if you submit that idea to AMerican Patchwork and Quilting magazine and they publish it, then you get some $$ (I think $25!)?!

Love them!! Is that felt or wool for the "page"?

Those books are a very cute idea. The jars are great. You can see what you have at a glance! Definately bookmarking this.

It is from my felt scraps.

Cute needle books! And the jars are just too clever! I bet they look really nice in your sewing area.

Just love your needlebooks,what a great idea for a craft booth.
I like the idea of the jars, now, do you keep them on your sewing table or on a self ? you want to be able to store them but they are a pretty decoration! Great idea.

Your jars of different colors just make me drool....how pretty. Now, that's art!!!!! Needle folders, what a great gift idea! I'm putting it on my list!

I keep them very handy when I am doing my paper piecing projects. Then I put them on a shelf so I can look at them. They really make a beautiful looking shelf!

Thanks for looking!

Susan-I sorted my ribbons for scrapbooking into jars, but never thought about fabric. Thanks for the great idea!!

Your needle cases are precious. Did you have a pattern or are you just one of those really clever types who thinks these things up all by herself?

love the jars and the needle books, very clever

Very cute needlebooks! I think I like just looking at the fabric jars :mrgreen:

Great idea to keep scraps in jars. Love the needle books too.

I do think them up myself. I have the pattern on my website. Check out my signature for the URL

Now I want to run to my mother's basement and empty all her jars!! LOL

You're so clever and creative!

I love both ideas!

Great idea and the books are really cute.

LOL!! I want to see your collection of fabric! I think fabric storage is just as important as FOOD storage! :mrgreen:

Put them in a box under your bed! LOL!! At least your fabric scraps would be organized!
