This is the Hold Tite Folio that Julie made for me for my birthday. I talked a little about it yesterday, but wanted to show you more of it.
Friend Julie chose a Philip Jacobs chrysanthemum print as my cover, which I like. The binding is also a favorite print. I love that dot circle fabric.
I didn’t really understand how to use the folio until I read Julie’s post. Unlike using the Sew Tites, you put the pieces together, and then stick them to the inside of the Hold Tite Folio. It doesn’t seem intuitive, but it works.
The folio has a piece of felt on the inside to keep the Sew Tites from sticking to each other. As you can see from Julie’s example, you can use the felt for pins and needles.
Julie said she used wool felt, but you can use any kind of felt.
Lillyella Stitchery has the tutorial for the Hold-Tite Folio . I think this is a GREAT ideabecause my Sew Tites, which I use a lot, are always clumped up into massive magnet blobs. I wrote about it before, albeit briefly. I still plan, as I mentioned, to make a couple.
I’m so glad that you’re pleased with it! I didn’t really understand the way the folio was used either until I’d made yours! It’s a pretty ingenious and simple design. By the way, the little purple needle with thread thing that looks like a sticker is a temporary tattoo that Lilyella included when I bought the metal pieces.
OOOH! I’ll have to find a time to wear it where people will appreciate it.
The next in-person Sew Day!
Next week! You’ll have to come!
