When I’m not whipping up fast crafts, I like to do a little sewing. Recently, I had the chance to teach English Paper Piecing to some friends of mine. We were hand-stitching hexagons together, so I made them each a little needle book to hold their hand needles. These needle books are simple to make, and are a great gift for anyone who likes to sew!

Supplies:
Felt
Scrap Fabric (cotton woven fabric – I used solid black)
Sizzix Fabi Cutter
Hexagon Die
Cut two felt hexagons using the die and machine. Then cut 2-3 fabric hexagons.
Layer the fabric hexies between the two felt hexies. Put under the sewing machine. Stitch a zig-zag stitch down one side. Go back-and-forth at the beginning and end of the seam to secure.
Your needle book is complete!
How do you keep the fabric pages from fraying?
You can put some fray-check on the edges if you like, but at least 4 of the edges will be on the bias, which prevents fraying. 🙂
