- Call it a 'needlecase' or a 'needlebook,' here is a great little tutorial showing you how to make one!
Using fabric, felt, cardboard, a little bit of HeatnBond (Vliesofix) and thread, this project is super quick and simple to construct!
Measurements & cutting:
For the OUTER COVER you will need:
- x1: 9"x6" rectangle of fabric*
- x1: 9"x6" rectangle of HeatnBond/Vliesofix/Bondaweb
- x1: 8"x5" rectangle of thin/lightweight cardboard - I used a green scrap piece as I didn't have any white left!
(*You can very easily use a Fat Quarter to make this project!)
For the TAB you will need:
- x2: 1&1/4"x2&1/4" rectangles of fabric (the same used on the outer cover)
- x1: 1&1/4"x2&1/4" rectangle of lightweight iron-on interfacing
For the FELT PAGES you will need:
- x1: 4&3/4"x7&3/4" rectangle*
- x1: 4&3/4"x7&3/4" rectangle of HeatnBond/Vliesofix/Bondaweb
- x1: 4"x7" rectangle
- x1: 3"x6" rectangle
(*I was able to cut all three rectangles from one A4 piece of felt.)
Additional materials you will need:
- x1: 11mm snap fastener/stud
- Hand sewing needle and matching thread
- Sewing Machine (with matching thread as well)
- Rotary blade, ruler and mat
- Pinking Shears
- Fabric and craft scissors
- Thread snips
- Iron

Thanks for watching!! xx - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you very much for sharing such a beautiful mother's day gift ❤️
Lovely 💙
Thank you for your excellent video! Such a simple project, yet I had no idea how to even begin! Fabulous! I will be making many of these.
Such a cute little needle book
Thank you for sharing 🏵🌼🌻 I am trying to learn I just do not felt. Great tutorial.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And guess what I forgot to do? Yes, put the tab on at the same time as the largest piece of felt! I'm still going to have a lovely needlecase though. Love the tutorial!
Thank you so much for this helpful and lovely tutorial and thank you so much for leaving all the necessary information below and not referring me to other media sites for that information. Your video is precise and concise. I enjoyed it and I think I will try it. subscribed❤️
I just found your channel! I am new to sewing & this is an awesome tutorial! Thank you!
I love to learn how to make this pretty Needlecase! Thank you!
Thank you Amanda for this lovely tutorial.
That was a really awesome tutorial. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for the Mother's Day video and project! It inspires me to put all my hand sewing needles in one place. I usually keep them in their packages in a drawer, but this needle book is such a great size and has so many "pages" that I think I could put them all in this lovely needle book and still have room to mark the "pages" with the needle type/size. If I mark the size with a washable fabric marker or a small sticker it would be removable if I wanted to change the "pages". Thanks again for the inspiration! And Cath Kidston!
Vickie Jones Labelling the pages sounds like a great idea! I usually keep my needles in their packages too! But not anymore...!! :D
I bought that book on Amazon and I was pleasantly surprised to find full sheets of patterns included! Thank you so much!
Just what I was looking for! Thanks
I'm making this! Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks so much for this video. I am making this needle-book and I purchase new needles to go in my case. I also brought three books by Cath Kidston, they are so wonderful.
Hi just found your channel. Your instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing. Hugs from Greece, Rhodes
My name is Debbie in English.Nice to meet you.
Running off to make this! Thank you!
Thank you maam
Thank you. Well done tutorial. Just what I was looking for. :)
Great tutorial!
Stunning, As with all your projects made beautifully This will be on my list to make as small gifts. Thanks so much. Love the pincushion you made in another video. So this will go well with it. HAPPY CRAFTING.
very easy n superb project....
Thank you so much, simple but effect . I can’t wait to make one as I’m always loosing my needles
Thanks Amanda. I made during lockdown so had to use available fabric from my stash, and make do with glueing the cardboard. But it turned out great, thanks for your clear instructions xx
What kind of glue did you use?
Lulujoy just like some kids glue, UHU I think. But PVA would do same. It’s still held together nicely after 3 months!
Nice... thank you so very much.
es muy lindo y me gusto mucho, gracias por compartir.
Beautiful
i have been looking for this and this is the best
+Godsbible Word Thank you! :)
Useful video.
Amanda, what a great project!! You are a very good teacher, thanks so much!~
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)
+Sue Keida Thank you very much!! Happy Christmas and New Year to you too! :)
This is a great little project! You can store all kinds of needles, even my machine needles. One can use a permanent marker to label the pages for the different needles.
Diane Gardner-Rhoden Thank you very much! :)
thank you
Muito lindo.
I'm using this video as a rough guide to make a mini needle case with scraps of a macaron print fabric :)
+Tasha Larby Ohh, that sounds lovely!! :)
That´s a very cute idea :)
TinkerHand Thank you! :)
TinkerHand I

Thank you for this lovely tutorial. I have one question about the tab: is it only attched to the book by heat'nbond?
+Vanessa Werkelwut No worries, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, the tab is attached to the book by the heat'n'bond, which is very strong and holds it in place quite nicely. :)
Great tutorial. I am lazy, so can I use Velcro or would that make it too hard to open the needle case. I have tons of Velcro... lol
Hi Amanda, love your videos! Is card suitable for making sturdy/structured purses or handbags? Regular heavyweight interface isn't enough and I'm struggling to find an alternative. Thanks x
+DustyDiy Yes, of course it is! As long it's not too thick so you can't bend it easily or sew through it. :)
love this tutorial Amanda but where can i get HeatnBond/Vliesofix/Bondaweb please
Do you have the pattern of the little purse showing on your book included in this book of yours??? 😊I would like to know how to make that pretty purse 👛
Thanks for the video this is really nice .can you answer me pls where shoud i get the lightweight cardboard,thanks in advance.
Lightweight cardboard can be found in craft stores, office supplies and stationary stores etc. :)
Hello, do you have any advice to attach the cardboard to the fabric? Do you think sewing fabric and cardboard together could be an option? Thank you in advance
+Giulia Satta Yes, you can sew the fabric to the cardboard if that's what you would like to do. I just used simple craft/paper glue to attach mine as it was quicker. :)
hello. what kind of fabric you use for the outer? why did it become sticky after ironing? thanks in advance :)
She used a fabric called heat and bond to make it sticky
what thickness of felt do you use??
Can one use a stiff interfacing instead of cardboard?
Yes, definitely!!
what kind of felt did you use and can polyester felt be used?
+Sydney Doe Yep, I just used a polyester felt. It's much cheaper to buy than the wool felt! :)
+Amanda Rolfe great!....do you mean card stock instead of cardboard?
+Sydney Doe You can use either one, as long as it's lightweight, easy to bend and sew through and will hold it's shape. :)
My needles rust no matter where i store them. I just bought more .
Cardboard! You can't wash it then.
FINE BUT WHAT SIZE WAS YOUR BOOK BY THE WAY
