Hanmade needlebook

Here is a small project that I made to replace one that I made when I was a little girl...

 

Aww! A simple stitched needle book with appliqued decoration.

Now I am going to make a quilted back and hand embroidered front needle book.

Check out how I made it below

 

Make some small squares out of your fabric

 Start to sew them together in rows

 Then sew the rows together

 Make a square that is the same size as your patched square and also a length for the middle part

 Stitch them together

 Then start to decorate the front of your needle book. I added an appliqued heart and embroidered writing

 

 Get some wadding and pin behind your fabric

 Then I quilted the patchwork

 Cut the wadding around the fabric. Then good sides toegther pin in place.

 Add a small ribbon loop for your button hole on the inside.

 Sew around the edges leaving a small gap to turn the right way round. Trim your corners off at angles. Turn it the right way round. Sew the gap closed. Add a button to the front side.

Tada!
