Last week Jan and Michelle celebrated their birthdays.
I decided to make them both a Needle and thread roll from the Vintage Stitches Sampler pattern. I do like making these. So much fun trying this piece of fabric with that and a great way to use up those tiny scraps. Though I must confess.... I did buy fabric. Seems ludicrous I know that with all my scraps I didn't have the right pieces. Perhaps I was just looking for an excuse to buy more fabric. (Jan won't let me buy fabric now unless I have a project in mind! I know this is good sensible advice, but......)
Inside the needle rolls there is a pocket for the thread. The pockets were stitched with the girl's names and the date they received them. (So no, the 21/3/09 doesn't mean 100 years young).
Let's hope we're all still sewing together when we do reach that milestone.
how lucky are they????
these are beautiful oh its fine you bought fabric for these :)
they just needed that special fabric for special friends!
I love this closed as much as I love it opened and seeing all the stitchery. Just beautiful
