2011 First Project

Just a little taster! We began our year with the making of a needle case and this is one of them. Will get photos of some of the others as soon as I can, but meanwhile, here is the one I made.

Opened fully.

Closed!
I have a number of needle cases. One for the sharps, one for the canvas work, one for dressmaking etc.,
This one was made from canvas and worked in silk threads. The case is lined and has four felt "leaves" inside. A Florentine stitch pattern was used.
Canvas was from "stash" and the threads were bought from Oliver Twists.
