The Flip-It Needle Case - £5+VAT

Do you like to have your sewing space organised? Using your favourite cotton fabrics make this very useful case for your packets of machine needles and keep them close to hand.

Ever since I realised just how much

difference the correct needle makes

to my sewing, I have had a tub full of

little packets! I decided they needed

to be properly organised, so created

this filing system.

The Flip-It Needle case uses a card

pressing template for speed and

accuracy, and uses tape as a stitching

guide. It folds up like a wallet, and is

easy to flip through to find the

needles you need.

This pattern is made up of rectangles, which you measure and cut yourself. No printing required!
