Got 10 minutes? Here's a quick, simple, and very useful project for you. Cut three pieces of craft felt 2 1/2" by 4". If you don't have any felt on hand, use cotton scraps and pink the edges. Stack the fabric up, and draw a line down the center of the top 4" side. Sew the layers together, and you have what amounts to a tiny fabric book. Close the book, give the spine a quick press, clip the thread ends and enjoy your new needle book! While you're at it, make two--one for hand needles and one for machine needles. You can use a pigment pen to write needle sizes on each page. No more needles floating around your work space or jammed into the side of a spool of thread!
If you get a bit creative, you can use cotton fabric for a "cover" for felt "pages." What a sweet little party favor or thank-you gift!
