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.
