The simple zipper pouch seen in the opening credits is super useful for holding full bobbins of floss for your project. You can find the blog post: amerooniedesigns.com/how-to-s...
If you have never tried KAM snaps (the plastic snaps I use for the closure) you can find a starter set on Amazon: amzn.to/3oo3nCv (affiliate link) and if you want to see how to install them, I have a video tutorial here: • How to quickly install...

While my husband was in ICU, I had the need to find something to do with my hands/mind... after many years I dug out an old cross stitch project and found my passion again. I'll be making your needle book for the doctor visits that will be part of our life. Thank you for the clear instructions and I signed up for you blog too.

Nice needle book and lovely design ideas. One suggestion for securing the scissors would be to place a neodymium magnet under a felt square appliquéd to the lining side of the cover. I would position the magnet square at the scissor hinge. I would also suggest interfacing one flap piece. I’ve made some doggie outfits with snaps (mine were metal) and that was a weak point. Off to create a needle book to match a project bag I just made. Thanks so much!

[@tracybrewer3377]

What a great idea. I was going to put another tab on the top with a snap closure. People all have great ideas.m

[@lauriemullins8140]

Love your idea on how to use the needlebook. I've made several never used a page for unused floss and another of "trash bits". Great idea.

[@AmeroonieDesigns]

My pleasure! I love that it keeps them all in one spot until I can get to a garbage can!❤️

[@patriciamcgarr3183]

Great idea for young adults to hold scissors needles and thread buttons for quick sewing in a pinch. Pretty sewing kit

[@AmeroonieDesigns]

That would make a great gift for a grad!

[@tracybrewer3377]

What a great idea to make the whole 3 piece set. Would make a fantastic gift. And now I'm off to look at the rest of your tutorials. You use beautiful fabrics

[@AmeroonieDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@lbrowning2543]

Agree! That was a revelation. I’ve been trying to organize some knitting projects currently strewn all over the place, and the idea of a (knitting) needle book and pouch in a larger tote (old computer tote bags) may have just solved my problem.

[@maryt2887]

Hello, Amy. Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I love that you included variations for the cover and closing. I will definitely be making one-or five!

[@suzicafran4624]

I signed up for the newsletter and subscribed to your KZbin channel, but still have not received the pattern!! Tried several times!?

I have a kit of snaps but I've never used them. And I made my own needle book but yours is super cute and it never hurts to learn a different way of doing things. I use mine mostly for making hexies. Thanks for the pattern and I look forward to making it and trying out the snaps!

Great tutorial thank you.

[@stitchinginthebarn8307]

Thank you so much for the pattern & tutorial! I've liked & subscribed. I found that my old needle book didn't work well when I took it with me yesterday to hand sew some hexies. I hadn't used it in years. After looking at a few other videos yours is exactly what I want. I have the snap kit. I love it and I'm always looking for ways to use them. The only addition I'm going to make to mine is writing on the fabric what types of needles are on it. I've never seen anyone use the pages to hold thread and the leftovers before. That's just brilliant and I can't wait to make a few from my scrap bin. I'm thinking that I'll need at least one each for hexies, sashiko, hand quilting and machine needles. Thank you so much! I'm going to check out the other bag patterns too. Have a great day!

[@mexicas6637]

This is so nice. I'm going to give it a try. We lost my grandmother about a year ago. She had an attic full of sewing and other craft supplies, including boxes and boxes of leftover fabric from the many projects she did. I went through and picked out some small scraps to get started. Now I'll have to go get batting. There isn't any of that. Thank you for the tutorial. 😊

[@AmeroonieDesigns]

What a sweet treasure those will be. I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️

[@AmeroonieDesigns]

Thank you so much 😀

[@alicemoody461]

Hi Barbie. This is sweet for gifts or ourself.. see you soon..

[@sallyb8919]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much. Can I ask a quick question please? If you wanted to add more than one interior page, would you cut both pieces of felt the same size, or do they need to be different sizes. Hope that makes sense. Thank you again.

[@AmeroonieDesigns]

It does make sense! I would start out with them the same size, but you will likely need to trim the inside page a bit so they lay flat when the book is closed. You may also want to use a walking foot if you have one to sew the pages down, two layers of felt, on top of the quilted cover is quite bulky! Let me know if you have any more questions! Xo, A

It is a fabric from Lori Holt. I am not exactly sure of the line- but it might be cookbook.

[@kimberlygray7067]

So I subscribed to everything I could find (You Tube, newsletter etc...) and still can't get the pattern to show. Does this take days or weeks or months? I thought it may be automatic once I subscribed. Just wanting the dimensions of all to make things easier. I love the video just frustrated on the pattern specifics.

[@Finny_finn_finn]

22:43 question...why didn't you make your tab longer so you could have sewn it under the binding, then fold it back out to secure? Is there a design reason?

[@AmeroonieDesigns]

I liked having a little more control of where it was placed once the binding and everything was on. Plus I felt like it lays better without having to be folded back over the binding seam. Basically it’s just personal preference. You could absolutely add a 1/4” to the straight edge and not turn it and then place it just as you describe!

[@Finny_finn_finn]

@@AmeroonieDesigns i love asking other women about sewing decisions...I generally learn a lot. I really enjoyed your tutorial and started making a needle book from it. Thank you for answering my question. I personally try to hide everything and sometimes I regret it because it's too bulky or the placement is off...so to hear you say that it gives you better control of location and it lays better, reinforces that you've already done the trials and errors and this is what works best for you. I appreciate...more than people ever know...an honest and thoughtful response...so thank you 😊. I have plans for adding a couple ribbons or elastic to help hold in some scissors and doodads. I also want to add a mini granny square on the outside just for a fun pocket....I think. I have decided that I am not spending money just going to use my scraps....I'm really trying to create useful things with my left overs...and this is a perfect project 👌🏻 😍
