My Experiment

Ok-- So, my aunt gave me some extra fabric of hers to make a few needle holders for her, myself and my cousin. I used the pattern in the Stitch N' Bitch book. Problems developed from the start:

1. Didn't measure the fabric as perfectly as I should have. When you are using 4 layers of fabric, make sure its perfect!

2. I need a sewing machine! Too much sewing and it turned out too uneven in the end.

I wasn't crazy with the finished project. I gave it too my cousin but am planning on making a few more once I can use my aunt's sewing machine. Here are a few pictures of my finished product. I am a bit ashamed by it, so I am calling it my experimental version!

I love the fabrics you used, and I'm totally impressed you sewed that by hand! Amazing!

Thanks Nicole. The picture actually makes the outside fabric look really dull, but its all these pretty shades of green. Thanks for your kind comments!
