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!
adios!
