Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!

All of my favourite things came together in this project: quick, easy, stash-busting, highly functional, with a little side of Pride and Prejudice. I typically have just kept my needles as I showed, threaded through a scrap of felt and left open in my drawer. Similarly, my machine needles are just in their bought packets, so I need to go through all the little boxes to find the right one.

But no more!

This project is for a little Victorian inspired needle-book. I provide my main references for this project below. It's a great way to use scraps, as you only need small rectangles of everything and some embroidery floss. For the fastenings, I used a small length of ribbon, but I may change this to a little buttonhole as it's technically more practical and will be faster to do and undo. The pattern for this, including the embroidery, is a public/free post on my Patreon, check it out here: patreon.com/catscostumery

And if you do make one, please tag me over on Instagram, I'd love to see it!
