This is such an awesome idea! Great way to organize.
This is cute and a nifty way to keep all your needles together!!
This will come in handy when I start teaching my girl to sew…
That’s so creative i love it !
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.
I keep my needles in the packet they come in, not as attractive as this one but it functions well enough. 🙂
