Needlecases

Hi all,

I've a wee bit more sewing for your today which I'm linking to Handmade Monday.

I've been asked to take a table at the local school's Summer Fayre which is at the end of May.  After the Christmas Fayres I did, I've virtually no stock left, so yesterday afternoon I rustled up a couple of needlecases ...




They're very easy to make.  All you need is a couple pieces of fabric (about 7.5" x 5")which you sew round (right sides together), leaving a gap for turning.  I then just insert a piece of wadding before top stitching all around, which closes up the opening.  Attach a couple of pieces of felt to the inside by stitching down the centre.  You can add a hoop and button or some ribbon for fastening or to simplify it even further, you could leave it without a fastening, as long as you use some pretty fabric I think they look good.

Okay that's me for today - short and sweet.  It's a lovely day here today so I'm away to sit outide for a wee while with a cuppa.

Thanks for popping in

Suze xx
