SIL#2 led at swap at the meeting on Saturday. As mentioned, I made a pencil roll. I decided at the last minute to make another organizer in case a new member or potential member came and wanted to join in.<\/p>\n

I found the pattern in a book I reviewed some time ago called Make It, Take It<\/a>: 16 Cute and Clever Projects to Sew with Friends by Krista Hennebury. I am glad to say that I did notice this project when I reviewed the book. <\/p>\n

\"Make<\/a>
Make It, Take It needlecase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am very pleased with the needlecase I made. It is kind of a portfolio and holds quite a bit of stuff.  I like it because it is useful and practical, but also has scope for creativity.<\/p>\n

I used some of the leftover improv piecing from the latest improv donation top. I think it would work to use Quilt-as-you-go to make the cover as well. I could just as easily use one piece of fabric for a very quick finish.<\/p>\n

I was also pleased to see the way the zipper was installed, because I thought it would help me with another project on which I have (mostly not) been working.<\/p>\n

\"Make<\/a>
Make It, Take It needlecase – open, inside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was a fairly quick project. I had all of the supplies, which helped. You do need some wool felt and a long zipper. <\/p>\n

Each section could be used for a different type of needle, if one were that organized.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons I am pleased with the pattern is that it gave me a different way to install a zipper on a circular piece. I can use this technique. I need more practice, but it came out better than my other project.<\/p>\n

\"Make<\/a>

I am also pleased because the exterior looks really good.  There is ton of scope for creativity with the outside, as I mentioned. This might be a great project to work on in a group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
