Some of my readers asked me to make a tutorial for this needlecase I made for the blog hop some days ago. Today I made a new one, and here I've tried to take pictures of the progress. Have fun making one yourself, and please ask me if you don't understand.
 |
| Make your pattern on a piece of paper 5"x7". |
 |
| Cut inside and batting 5"x7". Cut strings length 5". |
 |
| Sew the strings to the batting until you cover it. |
 |
| Iron the finished strip quilt block. |
 |
| Inside and outside, wrong sides together, and quilt as you like. |
 |
| Pin the pattern, and cut around. |
 |
| Fold the pattern and cut away 1/2". Now you have pattern for the two pockets. |
 |
| Pin the two patterns on a folded fabric, and cut out the two pockets. |
 |
| Sew on the straight edge to make it stronger. No batting inside the pockets. |
 |
| If you like something attached to the pockets, you have to do it now. |
 |
| I made a seam around to fasten the pockets before the binding. |
 |
| Sew the binding on the inside. |
 |
| Turn and sew down the binding on the outside. |
 |
| Press. |
 |
| Sew on a snap to close the case. A sweet little case you can bring your needles, thread and other hand sewing items in. |
