So pretty and well explained! Im going to make one! Thank you !

[@ALivelyHope]

[@ALivelyHope]

This was such a fun project! I'm so glad I took the time to finish these little needle books!

Great needle book

[@ALivelyHope]

Thank you! It was fun to make!

These are very cute. An elastic band would have been good. Just sew part of it in the seam. Then, put it around the button. Just an idea! But they are very cute! Thanks for sharing!😉🫂

Great idea! Maybe I'll do that next time!

These are adorable. For future reference, instead of covering up the heart or having a tiny piece on the front, that pc of felt could have been cut in half for one piece above and another below (two full closures) = front image not covered. Or a wrap around ribbon closure wd have worked too. Sometimes we get so set on what we have in mind we don’t consider other options.

I love those ideas! Yes, I agree that I was probably too set on what I originally envisioned for this project that I didn't consider other options. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I use sew in velcro

[@ALivelyHope]

That's such a great idea! I'll try that next time!

What is the size of your needle book? Enjoyed your video.

[@melaniejesse1]

I too would like to know the size of the needle book. Could you attach a pocket inside for a small notebook or paper?

[@ALivelyHope]

It's about 3.5 by 4.5 inches when it's closed ☺️

Thank you🙂
