Hello everybody! I’m excited to take part in the Organize Along with Jennifer of @Beesewinspired. I’m Lindsay Chieco (@linzentart on Instagram) and I’ve been sewing for about 9 years now, and organization is one thing I could definitely use more of in my life!! I am a Navy wife and mother of 3 children ages 13, 11, and 8, which as you can imagine makes organization a little difficult in all areas of life at the moment!
Today I’ll be sharing with you a tutorial to organize your needles. A little thing, but definitely
a helpful tool to have! For me I like to indulge in lots of crafts whether it be sewing, embroidery, knitting, or crocheting...all of which have their own needles to deal with. And I have been known to do a little hand sewing on the couch and lose my needle, only to have it pop up later in a painful way...oops!
Having a little needlebook helps keep your needles organized and close by! Let's get sewing!
What you need:
• (20) 1 1⁄2" squares of quilting cotton for the front (I used Quilt Fair by Tasha Noel. Her fabric
lines are perfect for fussy cutting!)
• (1) 4 1⁄2"x5 1⁄2” quilting cotton for backing (again, this is the perfect spot for a fun fussy cut!)
• (2) 4 1⁄2"x5 1⁄2" quilting cotton for lining
• (2) 4 1⁄2"x5 1⁄2" quilting cotton for pockets
• 81⁄2"x5 1⁄2" fusible fleece for front piece
• (2) 2 1⁄4"x5 1⁄2" medium weight fusible interfacing for pockets
• (2) 5 1⁄2" cotton ribbon for pockets
• 1 1⁄2"x30” double fold quilting cotton for binding
• (2) 6x4” pieces felt for pages
• 1 plastic snap
Let's Get Started:
1. Sew your 20 1 1⁄2" squares together in a 4x5 grid.
