Directions:
Sew or iron on your appliqué to one of the larger pieces.
Pin the two larger pieces together, ensuring that the appliqué is facing out.
Using your sewing machine, sew together the two larger pieces just inside the outer edge.
Stitch a little further in, with embroidery thread,right through from back to front around the outer edge.

I did something like this in Jr. High! I wish I still had that case. Your design is much much better than mine, so I might just do yours. This was the best way to store needles.

Cute idea, I could use this for my needles that I have all over the place.
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
I keep my needles in the packet they come in, not as attractive as this one but it functions well enough. 🙂
