Firstly, went shopping with sis, spent an embarrassing amount of money, on both her and me, but what a time! What stuff!
Secondly, a couple of days ago I spent no less than five hours on making two needle rolls, I still need one or two more for the approx 100 sets of needles (including DPNS) I happen to own.
Firstly, the upholstery fabric one! (Sorry in advance for the pics, I took them on the deck this afternoon and consequently there are stripey shadows, but better that I took them in daylight, no?

reversible, strong upholstery fabric, with bias binding which was a real trial and error process (vintage sewing books saved the day) and its definitely use-able.

See? Nice needle holders (measured about 3cm per slot.. seems to work, with straights... really should check the DPNs. eek.)

Glamour shot, I love the blue fabric, especially as I realised that I paid $2 (op shop special) and received over 4 metres of it. But what to make????

Check the Betty Boop fabric! It WOULD be on the outside, but unfortunately I found out the hard way the turning ribbon into bias binding requires a certain level of manipulation. Blue won out.
last but not least, gratuitous cat shot. Just wanted to take this whilst out on the deck. Say hello to Toby the cat!
