I’ve wanted to make a new sewing needle book for a while because it’s one of my favorite ways to keep them organized and handy.

I cut out 4 rectangles from a worn out, stained flannel nightshirt using my pinking shears. I didn’t worry about accuracy (aside from stripe matching) because of the pink stains.

I sewed them together down the center line. Now to organize my needles and make a cover!

On the quilted placemats and trivet, I can see the difference between the ones done with and without the walking foot.

Useful #SewingNotions - walking foot, piecing foot, combo stiletto/seam ripper, Wonder clips

Regrettable #SewingNotions - various binding makers, cutting mat hangers, heat erasable marking pens (dried out), various rotary cutters, various acrylic rulers and cutting templates, thread racks… lord I’ve bought some stuff over the years.
