In this step-by-step online workshop I share how to make a nifty needle book using a mix of recycled and remnant materials – a great personal project that also makes for a really useful and unique gift!
I’ll take you through how to create a decorative fabric inlay, layered pages and a share a great technique for making buttons out of small scraps of fabric, finished off with a braided closure, thread card and name tag. A downloadable template is also included that you can print out to help measure and cut each element of your needle book.
Because everyone needs a joyful needle book in their life, and if you’re anything like me, I spend way to much time loosing and looking for my bookbinding/embroidery needles! Here’s to getting organised and getting creative in the process!
See the video below for a sneak peek of the intro video from this workshop to get a flavour of what you can make and how it works…
