M. designed and made a needle book for her friend Ann's birthday. A needle book is for storing your needles and supplies when doing handwork sewing.
The finished size was about 4 1/2 x 6 1/2". She embroidered felt flowers for the front.
She added a little pocket to tuck things into. For the birthday, she printed out and added a friendship poem from the internet.
One page is for needles and pins. She sewed pairs of pretty buttons on the opposite page to store thread on. This was her own innovation. This was the center page and was sewn through all layers to attach the pages to the cover.
On the last page she sewed a pocket to hold a darling little pair of sewing scissors. She added a matching ribbon to tie them in so they did not drop out when the book was used.
To attach the scissors ribbon, we just ran the ribbon through two little slits and glued it in the back.
We decided to make the backs of the covers into pockets by cutting them slightly shorter than the fronts. She did a blanket stitch around them before assembling the needle book.

And here is the needle book all wrapped and ready to gift.
