EXACTLY! All those tiny needle books everyone has! They’re so small!! I do hand embroidery and I have LOTS of needles going at the same time. I’ve been working on making myself a functional, useful and pretty needle book. Your video is just what I needed! Love it!❤❤❤
I have both size needlebooks...large and small. The small books are great to take with you if you are in a waiting room, on a train or riding in a car. Very useful and far less worrisome because if it is accidently left behind, I haven't lost my whole needle stash.
I've made lots of needlebooks, & now I can't wait to make another with the inspiration you've provided. Your needlebooks are gorgeous! I would have a difficult time choosing just one ... although I do love the blue jay book ... & the dragonfly ... & the ... haha ... thanks for sharing with us. Hugs from Ireland.
Just found your tutorial and even though I don't usually comment, I was very excited for your ideas. Many of the ones I've seen are more pretty than useful for actual sewers who do need some basics at hand. Before I saw this, I made one that has many pockets so that I can fit in those small packages of needles and pins or some buttons, or put them in little plastic bags. This way I reduce the risk of getting stabbed with sharp things and having them fall out. I also made some little cardboard tags to wind some basic thread colors in case I need to fix something or have the thread available for a project I'm working on, I'll have to try to find those tiny cutters. Your choice of fabric is beautiful, especially the one with the dragonfly and quilting a small project is more manageable for me. I'll have to make a quilted one next. Thank you again for sharing your creativity!
I finally have time now to reply… Wow, life is busy is it not.?? Thank you for sharing all of your information. If you are interested in sending me pictures of your projects, let me know and I will give you my email.
This is a late reply… Many reasons for that… So glad to see that there are some people that have my same preference for a functional needle book. Thank you for watching!
Your needlebooks are lovely 🤗🤗 Can't wait to get started on one ...... could be a while, but I'm adding it to my list ..... I think my head is going to explode sometimes with all the things I want to do !!!! Does anyone else do what I do & spot someone wearing a piece of clothing & think ............. "ooooh that would look great in my fabric collage " 🤣😂🤣🤣😂 TFS your wonderful talent xx keep 'em coming xxxxx
No you aren’t the only one that thinks like that. Ha ha!!! I always look at the $1.00 clothing at a local thrift store. Clothing is a great way to get fabric.!
I just made seven for girls in my family for Christmas and enjoyed making them so much because I made each with a theme that matched them and got to use up a lot of scraps...
The bag idea can be created with a fabric placemat from Wal-Mart, we made these at a women's retreat. We used ziplock bags stitched down the center of the folded placemat. Just a thought. Enjoyed your video. 🐝
Hi Suzanne from Ohio🥰I used to be your next state over neighbor Laura from PA🥰 I am a new subbie today🥰 I am binge watching your Play all your You Tubes. 👍👏 You voice makes me homesick in a good way. I just know I will learn so much from your crafty style. I think it is wonderful that I found your you tube videos. TFS Laura. please show how you make a homemade thimble👍
I am so sorry I am late/slow getting back to you… I had just moved and you know how much work that is! Give me some time to get settled and I will add that to a video! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you so much for sharing your books! You’ve given me helpful info I didn’t know. I like having everything I need in mine, too - which I will be making my first real soon.
Thank you for watching and commenting… I have done several things and mostly just hinging it in with very strong lemon thread. But I happened onto a new idea and I hinged my last one on using an old zipper. If you watch my latest video, you will see how it is done..
Did you make all these or collect them ? I have one a friend made me and would just love to find more but I’ve really never seen any in antique or thrift stores. Beautiful !😊 I see your from Ohio and so am I💕
I really want to make myself a slow stitch kit like yours. I went on Etsy to try to find some "heavily felted wool" scraps for sale. But no one lists them as heavily felted. How can I find the right kind? I have a couple wools sweaters I shrunk, but not sure about those, either. Any advice? Thank you.
I’m so sorry I missed your comment/question. By heavily felted I mean the fibers are tight. I wash all my wools in hot soapy water in washing machine and then the clothes dryer. Some come out tighter than others. It depends on the fiber content.
I have a few specific questions for you, do you have email? My questions are about your stamps and stamping the fabrics. Are they stamps or are they stencils that you dab the paint on?
I’m sorry I am slow responding to your question… I have just moved… And you know how much work that is! L O L my email address is…suzannecogar@me.com. Give me some time to get back to you.
Thank you for watching and asking, …I forgot to put the link, ….it is now in the description. But also you can search by shop name… SuzanneInOhio @Etsy
