Felt Needle Holder Tutorial

I wanted to make a needle holder for a sewing kit for my friends birthday and came up with this really simple pattern.

I am a fan of any sewing project which takes just 15 minutes and which uses up cute scrap fabrics.

...and be something handy and functional.

Simply cut one rectangle of felt 8" x 4" for the outside and another two sized 5" x 2" which will be the inside needle holders. Sew a button hole on the right hand side of the larger rectangle.

Fold the two smaller rectangles of fabric in half and iron gently. Folder the larger piece as shown above. You can judge the placement of the fold, based on the where the buttonhole is placed - iron this also.

Sew the fabric onto the front - using a straight or zig zag stitch

Line up the centre creases of the inside of the holder and the two smaller rectangles of felt and sew down the middle.

Use a seam ripper to open up the button hole

With the flap folded under the front of the holder - use a fabric pen to mark the centre of the button placement - sew on button...

et voila! a cute addition to your sewing kit!
