Knitting Needle Case



I've been playing some more with the gorgeous sewing ribbons from Crafty Ribbons...

This time I'd like to show you a knitting needle roll.


 
 
A while ago I was fortunate to come across a load of sample books from an upholsterer and curtain maker.  The samples were no longer the current fabrics and they were going to be chucked away.  I rescued them and the fabrics have been sitting in a box waiting for a new purpose.  I picked out a lilac piece to match the ribbons and doodled a pattern on some scrap paper.
 

 
 
It was just a few measurements and a few lines of machine stitching, adding a bit of ribbon et voila!
 

 
 
It's not perfect but it holds the needles.  Next time I will tweak the design a little to improve it but I guess that's what it is all about... trying, adjusting and perfecting!
 

 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
