LSRUS: USA - Handmade Needle Book or Roll

Update 10/21 - I'll be posting photos of the one I'm making on my blog (link in profile) by tomorrow.

Hi!

Much of the SE USA is devastated by Helene. As such, I'm pushing out dates to give a chance for mail + roads to be rebuilt. I also don't want anyone who signed up before the hurricane to be stuck, not being able to drop when they don't even have power. <3 It's just more fair for everyone.

This is a time-consuming swap with lots of details. As such, a month will be given. It is limited to USA.

All participants must have 4.98 or better, no 1s in the past 6 months.

Do you sew? Have you ever made a "needle book"? These are fantastic for using up scraps of fabric and felt or flannel.

A needle book can be book style or roll-style.

The book has a cover with at least 4 pages, which is four individual pages, single sides only. For a book, the final product should measure 2.5" x 3.5" at the smallest.

A roll style should be 3.5" high and 12" long at the smallest.

The needlebook should have some decoration, not simply a piece of felt with some needles stuck in it. You can sew it by hand or by machine. Add a closure. The easiest kind is usually just a ribbon to tie shut.

Finally, fill it up! A needle minder should have things! A few needles, 5-10 pins, maybe a safety pin or two, a couple buttons, useful small things like this.

Follow videos on youtube for examples. Have fun! If you like, put your favourite colours in the comments. It will be optional to make a book in those colours since the idea here is to make things from scraps.
