Tutorial: Embroidered needlebook

October 30, 2008 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

Designed, stitched, and photographed by Mary CorbetMary Corbet describes how she created this exquisite felt needlebook on her blog, Needle ‘n’ Thread. I’m not sure Mary would call this article a tutorial, but it works quite well as one. And you’ll chuckle, as I did, when you read Mary’s self-deprecating remarks about the workmanship. It is only in my dreams that I make things this beautiful and perfect. See the post.

    Hi, Denise – Thanks for the mention! You’re very kind! It did turn out a little tutorial-like, didn’t it? It was an easy project to put together, and just super-fun to stitch the cover, as I did whatever I wanted, however I wanted, with whatever thread I wanted – perfectly “free form” stuff. I don’t do that too often!!

    I’m considering doing something similar, but making it into a kind of “roll” for different sized crochet hooks… what I need to figure out is how to finish the inside with narrow slots or pockets for hooks, while at the same time keeping the whole piece “roll-upable.” I should probably squiz around online and see if anyone’s done anything similar …!

    Thanks again!
