Lol.... always the way, isn't it 🙂 Yes 100 % wool felt Karen. Have a great day and hope you enjoy making this little needle case. If you want another idea for Xmas that is sewing related take a look at the mini collapsible thread catchers. There are loads of videos on YT for these but one that will give you the basic idea is here : kzread.info/dash/bejne/mWmb1NScdNDThrA.html. This lady uses the top of a mason jar but I prefer a plastic or cardboard ring. That's what I used for mine and it is really sturdy and was just the top from a Pringles tub. I'm never without my thread catcher, either when I'm away travelling or just n the lounge at night sewing. Soooo easy to make to. Hugs C xx

I have looked and looked for a simple needle book that I can make and I think this is beautiful and fits the bill. Thanks so much Carol for sharing. Btw, I love your channel.❤️

An absolutely brilliant Tutorial. You explained everything so well, and helped me so much. I prefer the neat edge and could use your method to make patch work covers for any project. Journal, pouch, envelope etc. i am so inspired and thankful.

Hi Carol! I watched Angela this morning doing a walk through of your PHENOMENAL Swap Journal. As Angela kept saying, "Everything is done to perfection ladies", and I couldn't agree more 🙂 So, needless to say, I am a New Subbie looking forward to follow along with you and your fabulous projects ~ including this beautiful Needle Case 😊 Have an awesome day Carol❣

Hi Carol! I’m a new subscriber and I’m so happy I found your channel. I love this project. Your instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I know it takes a lot of work to prep for this and I appreciate the work you did to do this. Not great at sewing (my mother was a seamstress, LOL), I think I rush too much. But, I’m going to give this a go, it seems fairly easy. I’m looking forward to your next part. ❤️

Big Warm Welcome! My mum use to knit and I'm no great shakes at that...isn't it funny. Delighted you are going to give it a go. Check out the comment from Carol Rigby to use bondaweb instead of glue if you are not going to sew... but I know you can sew really. Your mum wouldn't have let you off that easily....lol. C.xx

Beautiful! Thanks for the details. Looks possible to try and employ slow stitching :)

Oh Karen, can I have a sneak peek if you do? I'd love to see it... but no pressure if you'd rather not. They do lend themselves to slow stitching don't they. Thanks for leaving me a comment and also for watching. C.xx

Lynn, no absolutely not. I'm please for the suggestion. You know what it's like, you just can't decide. Sooooo glad I made the right choice thought and went with the blue...phew. Hugs C.xx

A great project Carol. I was thinking that you could use bondaweb as an alternative to fabri tac or other glues to attach the fabric pieces. I love to see wool felt so much more tactile than synthetic. 💕

Yes, definitely Carol, much better idea. Should have mentioned that. Thanks so much for mentioning it. C.xx

Hi Carol! I am finally biting the bullet and I'm going to make these for Christmas gifts this year. So I'm watching this tutorial for the third time because it is SO GOOD!!! I do have a question for you. Is your felt 100% wool? I have found that the felt I get in my local fabric store (that has polyester in it) is difficult to pierce with my needles. Please keep these tutorials coming. Your work is so beautiful.

Hi Karen, thank you for that lovely compliment about the tutorial. That was so kind of you and has made my day. Yes the felt I used is wool felt. I find the same with cheaper felts and to be honest I don't actually like the feel of it. If you can use the wool felt it will look and feel a lot nicer especially if these are for Xmas gifts. If yo have any other questions on the video just shout, happy to help. Hugs C xx

What a clever little project ... I think even a non-sewer like me to could give this a go! Doing a walk-through first was a wonderful idea, explaining the different options and all the little tips you provided was great, thanks. That 'watercolour' fabric you showed is to die for - so beautiful, such gorgeous colours! I look forward to playing along with this series ... blue or green? Which will she chose? TFS. L.

My needle case looks nothing like yours lol it is definitely Scrappy bits, I have some beautiful fabrics I was gifted along with a win ( Angela Kerr) I will be making one of these. Take care.

Oh fantastic... hope you can follow my babbling ok? I can imagine the gorgeous fabrics that Angela gifted you, Ann. She has such an eye for colour, whether it's fabric or papers, doesn't she? Let me know how you get on with the needle case if you have a moment. I'd love to know. C xx

A lovely little project Carol. I noticed you kept referring to it as “her”. Do you have a name for her?

In my youth, I used to name my cars. One was named moose because it sounded like one whenever I made a turn.

a stitch and flip method would make this easier and faster. you could lay out the pattern of material you like take a photo to refer back to. lovely tutorial

The photo method is a good one and I've used that on other projects. Not quite sure what you mean by the stitch and flip method though. Sorry If I'm being a bit slow here. C xx

the stitch and flip is also referred as the quilt as you go, or crazy quilting. all edges are sewn so no raw edges or having to turn raw edges under.
