A sewing FO… at long last!

It’s been ages since I did any real sewing, so I decided to start with something easy that I’ve been needing for awhile- a case for my knitpicks options needles, cords, ends, etc.

All this stuff was loose on a shelf in my crafting cabinet and that was not a good solution; I kept misplacing things. I used this tutorial, and adapted it for my own needs, using some quilting cotton from Joann that only cost a few bucks. My case isn’t perfect, I was a bit haphazard with the cutting and I didn’t stress too much about the seams. The whole thing was done in under 2 hours, and it works! It’s basically a trifold wallet with a double snap closure. The first third holds my needle tips, sizes 4-9 (I’m not planning to buy any larger sizes, as I rarely use large needles, and besides, I have my denise set). The second third has a pocket for the ends, keys, etc. The last third holds all the cables. The pockets close with velco tabs. It’s quite handy! I may make another one of these for my dpns, I have plenty of leftover fabric.
