This sweet, little needle case comes together super quickly all while teaching you the fundamental elements of quilting. Milwaukee artist and quilter Heidi Parkes demonstrates how to stitch up an easy, playful case for needles and pins that is essentially a mini quilt folded in half with a snap. Teaching three basic stitches and three knots, this hand-sewn case exhibits customizable applique and makes a delightful gift to send through the mail to fellow stitchers.
Learn how to:
Here’s what you’ll need:
- One 6" x 8" piece of fabric - Heidi is using woven cotton
- One 4" x 6" piece of felt
- Small scrap of fabric, about 2" in diameter
- Scissors, or cutting mat & rotary cutter
