Our Liberty Needle Case, designed by the lovely Kathy, proves that organisation is very stylish indeed! Perfect for fitting in your sewing box or taking out on-the-go, small needle cases such as this one make thoughtful handmade gifts. Or, keep it for yourself to use and admire!
The traditional English Paper Pieced (EPP) hand sewing method will be used to make the outside of the case. You will find that with these instructions that the EPP method is actually very simple- and addictive! Once the EPP has been completed, construction of the pouch is simple and quick. It is a great project for a beginner sewer to make using the sewing machine, or by hand with a needle and thread. You will learn how to strip bind the needle case in the same way you would bind a quilt. In fact, many aspects of making this case are similar to those of a quilt, just on a smaller scale. If you enjoy making this, you may consider a quilt in the future!
