Today I want to share with you a sewing favorite of mine...so much a favorite, that I have made four of these as gifts for stitching friends! The design is titled "Needle Case" (#105) and is from Lazy Girl Designs. This cute little needle case has two pockets (one on the inside bottom and one on the outside back)....the middle panel on the inside will hold your pins and needles...the pocket on the inside will hold your scissors (up to 4") and an assortment of other stitching goodies such as a needle threader, floss, needle minder, or small ruler....the pocket on the outside back is perfect for a package of needles. It folds up into a small-sized case (see images below) approximately 4" W x 3" H....so it is perfect for putting in your stitching bag. This design has great instructions and requires very few materials....and it can be embellished a number of ways with ribbon, buttons, and trims...I even used two colors of fabric to "spruce" it up. A great little project for the beginner or the advanced seamstress...and a fun gift for a stitching/sewing friend...
Would you like to have one of these needle cases for your very own??..well, I may be able to help you with that! I have one already made...yes, made with my own two hands...using the same fabrics above, but not identical...that I am going to give away to one lucky reader.
Simply leave a comment regarding this post and you will be entered to win...let me know what you would put in your needle case or where you would keep it or how you would put it to good use...
I will use the random generator to choose a winner next Wednesday, September 30th. Please leave your email address in your post (if it is not in your profile), so I have a way to contact you should be the lucky recipient. Overseas entries welcome.
...and one final note: the giveaway is for one needle case only - you will need to fill it with your own pins, needles, scissors, and accessories. Good luck to all...
I love the needlecase. How cute. I keep the needle case in my current project that I'm stitching. I would keep in it all the stuff I throw in the bag - my scissors, needles, seam riper. Everything right together.

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful case and such a lovely design.
I would love this for my needles and bits and pieces so each time I went away, all my stitchy things would be easy to just pop into my bag.
Thank you for offering it.

Oh, I love this and how generous of you to give one away! I made one with the outside fabric for a friend of mine but never got around to making one for myself. Who doesn't have pins and needles and scissors that need a home in a beautiful needlecase? thanks so much for the offer!

Oh what a great little needlecase. I'd love to put my name in the hat. I just happened to stumble on your blog today and love your designs! I'm putting you in my Reader right away!
ReplyDeleteI'm don't "sew", so I would never make one for myself. (At least not until I finally get a sewing machine and LOTS of lessons!) That having been said, I think that handmade presents are the best presents.
ReplyDeleteIf I was lucky enough to win the needle case, it would be filled with supplies for what ever project I was currently working on as well as a pair of my favorite Dovo scissors. The case would go everywhere with me, since typically I'm rarely without my stitching.
Thank you for your kind and generous offer!
I love your needle case! It would be such a handy gadget to have, great for projects on the go!
ReplyDeleteCould I be in the draw please?
Very nice. I always carry something with my current stitching project to hold my needles, scissors, thimble, threader, and dololly. Please include me in your drawing.

I love that needle case, you did a beautiful job on it. If I were lucky enough to win that needle case, it would travel with my stitching back and forth to the office every day. I would use it for my needles and scissors. Thank you for the chance!

I am always so disorganized. Your wonderful needle case would be perfect!! Thank you for such a great prize!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this little case! I have never been able to figure out why when my children were little (they are in their 30's now) I sewed almost all of their clothes and now I can't figure out how to do these types of things! I would keep this in my stitching bag that I keep with me when stitching. In it I would have my scissors, extra needles and maybe a needle threader which I never can seem to find when I need one.
ReplyDeleteI adore that sampler fabric. It's very sweet of you to be giving one away.
ReplyDeletealthough i xstitch, i am otherwise useless with a needle so i would be honoured to fill that little case with my bits and bobs and it would save them getting lost in my motorhome.

If I was lucky enough to win I think I might keep this on my desk at work to remind me why I work (to pay for stash, obviously!) and it would make me smile to think of the friendliness of stitchers and their generosity to each other.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun giveaway :)
This would work so much better than my little magnetic needle case that came from the HOSPITAL! LOL I love Lazy Girl Designs, they are very useful and easy to make. I would love to win one already made by you.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little needle case! I'm not sure if I would be able to make one though. I sure would like to have the one you are giving away. Right now my scissors are loose in my stitching bag. If I had your needle case, I could put my scissors in there as well as some extra needles. Then I would know right where they were.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
These are really nice. I'd love to be entered in your drawing. I just found your blog and I'm glad that I did. I've enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to include my email address. It is diana.h@comcast.net
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me! I would love to be in the drawing. What a beautiful needle case and so generous to offer as a gift. I would also keep it in my stitchy bag and it would go everywhere with me! Thank you... :) blync1@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love the needlecase its a great design and I love the material. I have only made one needle case at a class I had with C A Wells years ago and I love it. I keep saying I am going to do more but I just haven't.
ReplyDeleteI would like to be included in your drawing.

Hi Belinda! I love your needlecase - love the sampler fabric and the green lining - I have several pieces in progress and would love a sewing case to put needles, scissors, thread palette all together, so I don't have to keep moving the tool pouch from project to project! I would like to be included in your drawing!

Well, I would consider it an honor to have this needlebook. I would keep some needles, needle threader, some straight pins, scissors and maybe my favorite Star de Tailor.
ReplyDeleteLovely little needlebook, just great for my favorite needles and scissors. Please enter me in your giveaway.

I would love this.. I stitch on my lunchbreak at work and it would be perfect for that, would keep everything together so nicely!
ReplyDeleteOh what a cutie! I am a beginner at sewing so I'm very admirative at such lovely items. Please enter me in your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHi Belinda,
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered in your drawing!
Hmmmm... I would put in it what I would need for one of the projects that I am currently working on and I would keep it right by me on my dining room table where I stitch.
And yes, I'm always working on multiple projects. :-)

Please enter me in your fun giveaway! If I won I would use the needle case in my stitching bag and as an example to make some for friends!
ReplyDeleteOh I would love a chance to win this lovely needlebook. I would use it for my coloured head pins and good needles. Thank you for the chance to give it a new home. My email details are in my blog profile. LISA V.
ReplyDeleteIf it's OK, I'd love to go into the draw for one of these beautiful accessory cases. I'm always fossicking through various parts of my bedroom when putting together a 'travel project' - needles from one place, scissors from another, and so on - having them all pre-prepared in one little kit altogether would be so wise, and such a time-saver! And I can always guarantee when I take my own travel kit I invariably leave something out, and I invariably need it on the first night! Thanks so much for offering this giveaway, it's very generous of you :)

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog. I think the needlecase would be great to keep on the table beside my stitchy chair. I can also use it when I pack up to go to a friends house to stitch.
Janet
Hi Belinda. I follow your blog so that I am one of the first to know about your new designs so that I can re-post on my own blog. When I read your posts where you share your sewing projects, I always think to myself that I must find a class where I can learn to use my sewing machine better.
ReplyDeleteThis needle case is wonderful. I have gotten into the habit of taking a small stitching project to work with me every day so that I can stitch during my short lunch break. I throw everything into a basket and away I go. It would be nice to add this needle case to my basket every day.
Thanks so much for the contest!

I would use this for both of my hobbies, stitching and quilting. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI will forever be awstruck by the finishing talents of all my fellow stitchers. That is something I need to brush up on. Your needlebook is absolutely breathtaking. Please put my name in the hat.
ReplyDeleteThank You!!

What a great fabric; I just love it. What would I do with the winning needlecase? Put it to good use with my needles from the current project I'm working on. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWow! I just discovered your blog and have yet to peruse it. I'm so glad to have discovered it too! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHI! I love your designs and have stitched a few with more waiting!! I would love to be entered into the drawing for the lovely needlecase. Thank you so much for offering it!

Oh, Belinda, How I'd love that case! As you know, I stitch on the run, and I'm forever, misplacing needles and scissors--(my family often sits on them in the car. oops!) This might help me stay a bit more organized. Love your stuff and your blog. Thanks for a fun opportunity to win such a cute prize!
ReplyDeleteThat little puppy would go with me everywhere my stitching did! LOL! I'd have my beautiful Ginghers in there along with my favorite needles. I say 'needles' because you can never have enough when you're on the road with your stitching ;o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful organizer and I'll have my fingers crossed that I win ;o) Thank you for such a lovely gift.
What a cute little needle case. I love the fabric you chose to make it up in.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be entered into the drawing please.
If I was lucky enough to win the needle case it would go in my project bag right by my stitching chair.

Hope it's not too late for a chance to win this beautiful needle case. I don't own one yet...would love this to be my very first!

The contest has officially ended....I am currently numbering the entries and will be picking a winner by random generator momentarily. Thank you to all who posted a comment! Good luck all...I will post the winner in a blog entry for today (Wednesday, Spetember 30, 2009).
ReplyDeleteI know I'm too late for the contest, but I just wanted so say how naughty you are for posting a link to Lazy Girl Designs. I'm so in love with her patterns! I'm just starting out in the quilting world and some of her quilt patterns are on my wish list already. Thank you (I think).
