I love your needle books! They by far are the prettiest I've seen and you make them seem easy to do. I've never made one before so I am excited to try. Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea's! ♥

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Thank you so much!

This is FAB. I was doing quite a bit of hand sewing back in June, outside in the sunshine. I had just put my best , gold tipped, red work needles in a piece of Aida fabric…… long story short….. I’ve lost ALL of them. I’ve searched and searched for them, to no avail and so your video has given me the inspiration to make myself a nice needle case …… more can follow for nice gifts. I’ve loads of embellishments and on Friday we are off to visit my son and his wife for a week……. tomorrow I’m going to assemble a few needle case sets for my holiday handwork. Thanks soooo very much🥰.

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

You are welcome!! I’m love making them for friends..or young people learning too stitch!

Love the "little kits" you've put together. Having problems with organizing myself at the moment (probably the drought/heat), by God's grace I think this will help me get more done. Your work and fabric choices are beautiful, thank you 😊

Ah thanks.. try and stay cool!

[@maryt2887]

I’m so impressed with your creativity and organization. The books are adorable! I was worried when you said your holiday was only four days that you would spend most of it sewing! I guess it’s better to be prepared with a project that you love than be twiddling your thumbs in the rain😏.

[@corrinebyers7580]

Beautiful project. I'm not a sewer or quilter, what caught my eye was your name. Same as mine and spelled the same too. So someone in state of Ohio in the U.S. has same monicker. What is interesting is that the pronunciation of mine is core..reen and people end up calling me core..rin. Beautiful work and project. Your personal needle holdrr is spectacular.

[@joannepeyton1654]

Hi Corrine: Am looking at ways to make a needle book and your video popped up. Love your ideas and the covers are stunning. Teaching myself slow stitching and can’t wait to try this. Have everything to start one. Do the stitches on the little pockets show on the back of back cover? Thank you for sharing. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Hi., the stitches won’t if you create the inside section with the pockets in place ..before attaching it to the cover.. having said that.. I have added pockets at the end of the process, just be careful not to push the needle thur to the covers.. keep your needle between the layers. Enjoy your journey stitching! Corrine

[@joannepeyton1654]

Thank you so much for your response. Started the cover and can’t wait to continue. It’s such a wonderful journey, because I’ve been paper crating. My real joy is sewing. Thank you.

Hi I buy sheets from my local craft shop.. sometimes I find it by the meter at fabric shops. I’m in Australia so I find both styles at Spotlight.. happy stitching

[@andybrown1465]

Thank you for your reply Corrine. I am actually making a couple today. The felt I meant was the big grey work mat that you use to assemble your gorgeous slow stitching on. It looks to be about 12x12in or more. I went to the op shop yesterday to gather some more bits and bobs. I am also in Australia Qld, so with all the rain, makes it perfect weather to try something new. Thanks again. Heather. ☔️💦

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Hi Thanks for your kind words.. I stamp my own word. Then I can control the colour, size and fabric, if you try this , just make sure your ink is a permanent one. I also purchased a set of letters then I can make up any word. Happy stitching

[@lorrainewilby2085]

Dear Corrine, could you please explain what you mean by invisible stitching? Does it mean stitching every fabric, doilies, motifs etc onto background fabric before you use the embroidery thread? If so what stitch do you use? Tia, Lorraine

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Yes.. I use normal sewing cotton to stitch elements held by pins.. as it replaces them.. It’s a tiny stitch on the top of your piece.. but underneath the piece you can skip along an inch or two then push your needle back thur to the top to do another little stitch. On the top of your piece you can’t see that stitch (hence the word invisible) but when you turn your piece over you will clearly see where you have jumped all over the place!! Something your embroidery may not be enough to secure your lace and fabric so the process of invisible stitches just help to secure all the elements in your design. I hope that helps.. if you watch my Roxy journal of stitchery videos you will see me doing it all the time.

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

Ah another word offen used is tacking but tacking from the quilting world is often big stitches which are then removed at the end of the project..in this slow stitching world little tiny stitches are used

[@franceshooper2307]

Hi from Bristo UK, what type Ink do you use with the stamps plz 🙂

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

I permanent one.. the brand is Colourfast Stazon. If you are not washing it try any one

[@conniem3970]

How do you keep the cut edge of the lace from unraveling?

[@tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine]

If your referring to the crocheted pieces.. they are made up of 1000’s of knots.. so it doesn’t fray like material. As for materials.. I like that too fray a little!

I don't know if you'll still see my comment this far after you posted your video.....but I'm wondering if the little bits and pieces that look "stamped" actually was a rubber stamped image onto the fabric...? If so, what type of ink was used, and is it able to be washed without coming out?
