My Needle Book Turned into A Hussif with a Clever Closure

[@marilyncarey7957]

It’s such a joy to hear someone so happy about the small things in life. Not that the Hussif was a small job altogether, but your joy at the small wins all the way through had me smiling for the whole video. Thank you for making my day - and it is such gorgeous and useful item!

[@marionsworld24]

I was a bit excited by it all 😄 It was just going so well though🪡🧵

[@debraroser985]

How delightful! Its 4am on a hot Australian morning and l cant wait to rummage through my fabric treasures and start making my own Hussif. All my treasured little working tools will have a home . Thank you.

[@marionsworld24]

You're most welcome Debra 😊

[@RebeccaAinsworth-o9h]

Marion....I absolutely loved this project, I felt your enthusiasm and love of your finished case ...it also gave me so much joy....thank you, thank you. Adore you channel, so inspiring.

[@susanchesworth9705]

Blow, I threw a worn pair of leather gloves out last week while packing for our move. My husband has been urging me to lessen my craft stash, so I compromised by not adding to it. I can't wait to move and get started on some of your wonderful ideas. Meantime I have a small piece of slow stitching on the go, with minimum colours and threads, a hexie epp project and my crochet blanket for the evenings

It's lovely having lots of projects to hop between ☺️

[@annrubino6252]

Marion, this is genius and so beautiful! I actually clapped when you slipped the little vial into its sleeve. All of your practical experience is of ultimate value in creating artistic, and functional objects. New stitchers are so lucky to have you.

[@marionsworld24]

Oh .so did I Ann... It was just the business! 😊

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Marion for your video.What an amazing project a lovely Hussif. I got so excited with you over the thumb of the globe I clapped,which is funny at 4am 😂. This is so what I was thinking of. I knew a little needlebook was no use to me but I had never seen anything larger. This will fit the bill, you know we need to change our needle size and type often in the sort of stitching we do so we need instant access. Some of my students gave me as a retirement gift a whole range of sizes and types of needles and that's the bundle of packets I have been struggling with. This project means I can have one of everything to hand, excited to start.

[@marionsworld24]

Brilliant Carol. I hope it all comes together as nicely as mine did. As you could see from the video I quite often make it all up as I go along... This was a time when it all just turned out perfectly 😊🪡🧵

[@megfowler4177]

[@tinkerbell1462]

It's a work of art, Marion. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@lindaherrington6291]

Oh this was such a delightful video to watch! Not only have you fashioned yourself a new, uniquely beautiful needle book, but it clearly brought you so much joy in the making of it. Yes I imagine it feels very tactile with the embellishments, yet it looks so soft and comforting to hold in your hand. Love all the needles in their original packets, a lovely reminder of sewing heritage.

[@marionsworld24]

I'm so pleased you thought it was lovely too 🪡🧵😊

[@NH-191]

I’ve been looking forward to seeing your needle book finished. The materials you used gave it a lovely vintage look. It also looked really tactile to hold in your hands and use. As always you are clever and resourceful . I can understand you getting great satisfaction when your plans come together. You work very hard to show us your creations. Thank you.

What a wonderful video and project! I was already following you but not looking too often because your birds weren't drawing me (beautiful, but not my thing)...but then Kathryn of @k3nclothtales pointed us to you to see your beautiful tree. Then I couldn't stop, and I thoroughly enjoyed you and your Hussif...and just all of it. You and your delight are a delight!! Thank you.

[@annielord4151]

Hello Marion. I LOVE your hussif. Especially all your beach finds and the leather fixings. It reminds me of mine. I made it from clothing scraps and fabric that I'd hand dyed, and I use it all the time. My needle book isn't attached, but fits in a pocket. It holds all my sewing necessities in one place. And I'm very fond of it. Odd what makes us stitchers happy. 😊❤

[@marionsworld24]

I think we're most happy just playing with all our 'stuff' 🪡🧵😊

[@annielord4151]

I totally agree with that. Never happier than when I'm creating something.❤

The needle book turned out lovely. Thank you for taking us along on this journey from collecting your beach finds through the completion of the Hussif.

Hi Marion, your needle case is so charming and beautiful with all its little detail! You’re very clever at repurposing stuff and your delight at doing that is infectious. Thank you.

[@allisondennis8257]

I loved this project and could listen to you for hours, Marion (and have, actually)! Your hussif turned out beautifully 😍 and I'm going thrifting tomorrow to find some decorative fabrics, wool blankets (hopefully) and perhaps a leather glove or two - no, it's not just you! Btw, in part one of this project, you asked if rug hooking might be of interest and I say, yes!

[@marionsworld24]

It's on the list.... Other things keep jumping forward 😅

What a joy! You rightly so should be “over the moon “ excited and proud of the hussif!

Dear Marion, your unabashed joy over your creation here is contagious and makes me so happy and inspired. Creating makes me very happy too, and somehow watching you keeps me motivated - even when I’m feeling stuck. Bless you for that. 🤗❤️🥰 Your hussif is amazing and magical in so many ways.

[@vickywilson8546]

Beautiful- I love your work. thank you for sharing.

[@LindaBrassington]

Having watched you make this Hussif with all your brilliant ideas, the needle case I was going to make is now going to be a Hussif. Having seen the original idea you had for closing it gave me the idea of using a piece of old clay pipe which was amongst the many items found when I had an allotment. I too have a collection of old packets of needles, old bone and metal crochet hooks, some of which I still use when making crochet items for my dolls house. Marion you are a joy to watch. Thank you.

[@marionsworld24]

A clay pipe stem sounds just the ticket for a similar closure... I hope it works out 🤞☺️💐🧵🪡

Finally you have shared your secret closure 🗝🔐 it was worth waiting for, I chuckled along with each new invention you had, Loved the glove idea 💡too, it couldn't of fitted better if it had been made for it. I think you should of left the funny bit in though 🙈 hehe The first actual thing I slow stitched was a Hussif, I was researching sewing notions, when I came across a very interesting video on the old Hussifs, and the history, I'll see if I can find it and link it. I understood the excitement as each idea turned into something so rewarding, as the struggles turned out to work perfectly or, as you say, not quite lol. I just loved that little tin 😍 and the lovely old needles, a special memory to keep with you. 🤗 So pleased you have made something you love, and try not to feel too sorry for your old needle case. She has served you well and has earned a rest 😄 take care 🤗🌈🌱🌾🌟 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6ebZH94jqp3g7ssi=wgXOQmTor2_Q69aC
