This is the needle book I finished a few weeks ago. The inside is a little off but I was trying to finish this project before I lost interest. I used everything from my stash.
I had a lot of left over brocade strips that I used on this. The gold trim is stuff my mom gave me. The applications are ones I have had for a few years now waiting to be used. The buttons are also a gift from my mom. The Geisha girl fabric was left over from a skirt I had made.
I had felt from my doll projects and I just cut them to size with pinking shears. I used fabric scraps for the pockets and trim.
I had bought this clearance fabric quarter recently to add to my quilt blocks for Xmas and had some left over which I used here.
I used decorative stitching on the strips and used fleece instead of cotton batting for the lining.
This was my inspiration for making the needle book. This photo above is from
