Needle books are a great way to keep track of your needles and pins while traveling, at workshops, or around the house. Jody Alexander leads you throught the creation of a needle book made out of fabric that you probably have on hand that will be perfect to keep or give as a gift to your favorite sewist. Perfect use for those extra pieces of fabric made during Jody's Hand-Stitched Sampler Books Daily Practice, or other stitching or surface design workshops. Customize this sweet needle book with mending stitches, patches, or surface to design to make it your own.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- One piece of fabric for the needle book cover: 7 x 9 inches
- One or two pieces of felt for the needle book pages: 4 x 6 inches each (if you don’t have felt then any fabric will do)
- One piece of fabric for optional pocket: 2.5 x 5 inches
- Thread - threads that will work: machine thread, pearl cotton, sashiko, embroidery
- Needles that fit your thread
- Pins
- Scissors
- Thread snips (optional)
- Pencil or fabric marke

Oh, I love Jody's teaching! After this class definately going to see her daily practice sampler books one! so inspired by all she's shared and how quick she put together such a gorgeous needle book! I did and loved Heidi's needle case, but I'm definitely going to try this way of constructing it, even if only to gift away to friends and play with dyeing & printing fabric. Really worth watching and doing!

Jodi is a mature artist, so she is chill about the details. She clearly has an inquisitive mind and is open to questions from the audience. She has so many good ideas that I'm going to her Daily Practice class next. Thanks, Jodi!
