On the first Friday of each month, I get together with a group of wonderful sewing friends for a night of sewing, laughter, and fun. This month, I didn’t have a project in progress so grabbed a few supplies as I headed out the door. I have been wanting to make a needlebook ever since I saw the beautiful Needlebook tutorial by Amy from Nana Company.
It was fun to combine some pretty scraps into the patchwork backing.
I appliquéd a heart onto the front of the cover, and added some perle cotton stitching in a pretty shade of pale pink.
I love how Amy had decorated her felt “pages”. It was a lovely way to incorporate some special trim and bias binding that I bought on my last trip to Japan.
If you are looking for some sewing inspiration, I can recommend the Needlebook Tutorial from Nana Company. All Free Sewing have also published a list of the top sewing tutorials for 2012, including our Gathered Round Basket tutorial.

Thanks Natalie! We don’t make items to sell due to work and study commitments. This particular needlebook was made using a free tutorial over at Nana Company, if you would like to make your own.
