This has been a bit of a rush. I didn't have enough time to applique, so decided to hunt through my fabrics to find one where I could embroider on the pattern to add something. The fabric with the circles came from my sister. She is moving house so was having a clear out, which was lovely for me. If I had had more time I would have made all the circles into daisies.
The inside fabric is from some old curtains, which came from a friend. I love the gentle green of the fabric, and you may remember seeing it on my blog before for various projects.
I got a bit confused by the word pellon, but I think the fleece interfacing that I had left over from making some bags is the same thing. And for the inside pages to pin the needles I used some white felt.
I'm happy with the final needlecase, which I will probably keep for myself. Up to now I have either been using a tiny little orange felt thing (which I have had since I was a child) or I keep my needles stuck in a pincushion. Not very clever as they disappear inside!
A lovely idea to use the circles to make flowers. No more distractions now, on with the packing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little case. The embroidery around the circle looks really effective xx
ReplyDeleteSweet. I kinda like just the 1 1/2 flowers, and not all of them flowers. It's fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely job. I love the idea of transforming the circles into little flowers. So cute.

You are a true crafter - cant leave your crafty stash behind. I think I'd also choose sewing to packing :)
ReplyDeletelove the lazy daisy stitch :)
Love your needle case! The embroidery looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAwww I love the daisy - and the half! I think it looks great as is - all of them might have been too much. Much better to be sewing than packing, I quite agree! Simmi x
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty colours on that fabric and the daisy you made.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

It's really nice to have the embroidery added to the fabric, the daisies are very sweet. I'm sure it'll be a fabulous way to keep your needles safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteaww this is cute! i love the idea of creating daisies from the circles and the green lining fabric is so gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteLovely, and if you are like me so satisfying to be able to use favourite fabrics right down to the scraps!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely case, adn the flower looks very pretty. Have fun packing and hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI love your needlecase beautiful work
ReplyDeleteVery nice job.
ReplyDeleteLooks very retro - I like the way you did the details around the flowers.
ReplyDeleteVery nice needlecase! I have the same problem with my pincushion and so I too made a needlecase and keep pins in it - how do you stop pins disappearing into the cushion??
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely case you made. I love the way you embellished it to make flowers!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good idea to add a touch of embroidery around the print. Makes it look extra pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you have created daisies out of the dots. Brilliant idea.
