I made another Mendocino needle book. I used this tutorial but made it just a wee bit bigger. I also added a pocket to the front and back cover. How much fun is this? I had another fabulous vintage button to use for the closure.
And then I had a lot of fun with the inside pages. I used a really fabulous wool felt for the pages. It has a lot more body and substance than regular craft felt. I used my handy dandy fancy rotary cutter blade that I leave in my handy dandy back up rotary cutter for making fancy edges on the pages. Snazzy!
This will be a door prize for my next quilt guild meeting and I really hope it goes over well. And I am going to link up with Amanda's finish it up Friday and with Megan for Sew Modern Monday. Be sure to check out all the other finishes! I am going to do just that.
Whoever wins this at your next quilt meeting is a very lucky person. The needle book is stunning, love your fabric choice.

ReplyDeleteWow! What a generous door prize! I love how you've added the scraps of fabric on the pages of the needle book. Wool felt is so luxurious, isn't it?
