By Annie Pattern - Needle Cases & Wool Pincushion

You'll always have the right needle close at hand when you store them in these convenient cases.

This is one of those organizational tools that you don't know you need until you have it — and then you wonder how you managed without it.

Inside the Large Needle Case, a zippered pocket holds scissors, needle threaders, thimbles and other supplies.

Felted wool "pages" provide organized storage for loose needles. The pattern includes nifty instructions for making your own personalized labels using your computer, sewing machine, or a permanent marker.

Lots of pockets and see-through divisions provide plenty of space for organizing both hand and machine needles, loose or packaged. Included in the pattern are several very handy charts detailing needle types, characteristics, sizes and applications.

Quick and easy to make, the needle cases and pincushions make perfect gifts for anyone who quilts or sews.
