Needlebook for Sharp Pokey Things - Tutorial

[@suzisaintjames]

I made a separate needle book for my yarn needles and keep it with my crochet hooks as I rarely need both sewing needles and yarn needles at the same time. 💕🌞🌵😷

[@dioneglenn7692]

I always hit the like immediately when I hear "Welcome Back, WELCOME BACK". You are a joy and a blessing to watch and learn from. Thank you!

Glad to know I"m not the only one that thinks "needless" when face with the word needles. This somehow reminds me of a dear friend, who has passed on, whose files I inherited. As I was going through them, I noticed one folder labeled "Useful Information," as if anyone would bother to file useless information. Still cracks me up. I miss her. Thanks for the memory, however unintended. I think I"ll make one of these and label it Needless, just because I can. ~ Lisa

[@shannonfinn4316]

Hi Nik. I agree Creative Glen......your welcome back is fun. Love the needlebook. I'm going to use your wonderfully witty Needless book. Let's see if they get it.

[@Sujowi]

Thanks Nik...your video has reminded me of the needlebook I made at school when I was 8 years old! I can still remember the ‘pages’ made of soft woollen fabric. It seemed like an odd, old fashioned thing for a child to make in the 1960s! But here you are showing almost the exact thing all over again!

[@dianneeverett1633]

Cute and simple.

[@TanBraeDesigns]

I never thought to make my own needle book. Hurray! Another craft project!

[@redflag1964]

I've been watching quite a few of your videos recently, along with other youtubers that deal with book binding. I really enjoy your style and the fun way you approach your videos. Thank you for being both informative and entertaining.

[@MrsJEWilson]

Since I was a wee young thing, I have loved little books. I have needlebooks that include the buttons and threads and also included small scissors thru a hole left in the top of my book. Each one was so cute, I felt a need to attach adoption papers...not really but they were really that individually made that I had to really like the recipient. Now, you have opened another world for me so subscribe it is. Your personality is a drawing card also. Thanks, Bette in Tennessee.

[@deborahm.2460]

Loving the side view camera shots. And you, of course.

[@marilynguido]

if you use real felted sheep wool, the lanolin in the wool helps keep your needles from rusting......

[@HappySunshineDay]

@Marilyn Guido - I also suspect that wool felt will be easier to work with. I am an experienced seamstress. I just made up a practice run of this needle book using synthetic craft felt. My results are less than lovely. Even with pins, the felt moved around so much, I could not stitch a straight line. I will try again soon, using wool felt. Int he meantime, I am also making some other needle books from quilter's cottons as gifts. I feel way more in control with those! Oh - perhaps I could just add a bit of wool felt inside the cotton books to hold the needles! That may prove to be the best of both worlds for me.

[@danam927]

I totally agree with you, I like to find and be able to access needles quickly with no struggles. Love this idea, will make some for gifts. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@4711Dorothea]

My sister is a sewer I can't wait to make her one or two of these they are awesome. Cheers for the demo : )

[@pamfrank3962]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips. Perfect simple but functional

[@rozenart5768]

Love these to stick inside cards for a little B-Day thought etc...

[@rebeccaPBC]

I know what my friends in my monthly cross stitch group will be getting for Christmas. Thank you for the great idea!

[@woollyfingers]

Utterly charming and very desirable! Nice subtle choices of colours too.

[@grannyLynnsCreations]

Victorian times... they sold pins and needles in little tiny paper envelopes... not the best way to keep them. One of the first projects a child being taught to sew, was a needle book... They would practice learning stitches on the needle book and keep their precious needles and pins in the book. Was a lovely way to teach a child and has been lost .

[@cristinhager9033]

So cute!! Can’t wait to make this, no more poking my fingers digging thru my sewing stuff. Thanks Nik!!

[@tfntexas]

I love this...I had an old “tomato” pin cushion that had about 30 needles struck down in it where you couldn’t see them. I just sat down one day and kept feeling around till I found them all. This is a much better idea! The needles don’t get lost in the pin cushion!

[@womensarmycorpsveteran2904]

Tammie Freeman I did the same except it was so tatty that I cut it open. I was shocked at how many needles were inside. Now if we could only find out where all those missing socks are hiding.🧦

[@recoveringsoul755]

The vet x-rayed my ex husband's dog for an unrelated issue, and found a perfect image of a sewing needle, eye and all inside the dog. No idea how long it had been in there. But he must have just set the needle down on a table or something stupid, and the dog ate it and we never knew. It just travelled around inside the dog. Nothing we could really do. So, better in a pin cushion.

[@pamketron]

A needless needles book! I love it. Gonna make a few of these for the places I keep needles. Much better than just sticking them in the back of my project bags. Love the clip idea to hold it together! Good job! You rock! 📍🧷❤️

[@karenbiggs8141]

I follow your channel and have learned so much. I made this last night. Thanks again for teaching so many things.

[@shirleymccullough2515]

Great little Needle package for a stocking gift or craft sale , just saying ! After you’re made 1 for everyone in your family 😃 of course , really useful Nik. Thanks and your video was Very well done with your different views of showing us your example ❤️

[@gretchenkleer9252]

Another fabulous make! Thanks for sharing your talent & wonderful sense of humor, you never disappoint Nik! Hugs till next time. ;-)

[@bettejowelton7459]

Really liked this. So simple but oh so practical. I have two sisters who will be getting one along with their Christmas cards this year.

[@jenniferwatson7118]

"Embarrassingly simple" works for me!! My needles are currently in a folded up, ancient, ugly (but clean) hanky... so I NEED one of these whether it be 'needles' or 'needless'!!

[@erika3293]

Really cute and easy Nik. TFS. Will be making a few of these

[@JunkJournalideas]

vidiographys lookin good Nik, this is a far better idea than my piece of paper in a plastic baggy 🦋 cheers Donna

[@susanmary4752]

These would make great gifts for your sewing friends! Thanks for the share.

[@jeanwest-ackroyd3908]

Like this, Nik ! Quick, an easy and straight-forward make. Thanks for sharing.

[@AzaleaLala]

I really need to make one of these. I was thinking about Arya the entire time. Thanks Nik.

[@maryanharrell5642]

Cute. If I didn't have so many already, I would make one!

[@CountryRefuge]

like the simplicity of this so much! lol, I think a Needless book in journals is a great idea! A prompt to simplify.

[@creatrixcorvusarts876]

This is so useful and cute!! Thanks Nik!

[@kmrjdf]

What a great idea. I will be making some for Christmas gifts

[@joannedonovan9489]

Cute Needle Book! Thanks for the video!!

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

Hello Nik , I like everything you do and how you do it. I’m a watercolor artist and make art journals. I have a ‘paper obsession’ ,and have subbed to your channel. Now I’ll binge watch.👁

[@406annie]

Loved this cute little needle book and the different camera angles! Thanks for sharing it with us, Nik. 😊 ✂️📍🧷👊😃

[@cheryl2455]

OMG these are to cute!! I`m in love.

[@sweetcurly28]

Awesome!! Thanks for showing this 😃 My mom had the tomato’s!! A set of three. Back in the day when we didn’t use seat belts or car seats. Always enjoy watching your videos. You are so funny and you improve my vocabulary! ❤️🙏🏻

[@recoveringsoul755]

I have a little green ball surrounded by what seems like little people holding hands.

[@dianneeverett1633]

And ran through the house with a sucker in our mouth.

[@deeleaman1839]

So cute. Another on my to do list & so quick to make. Now to find the felt that is lost somewhere in my stash 🤣! Thanks for sharing.

[@francineh.7825]

Simple...but cute and useful!!

[@vamps_rock]

Does just what it says on the tin! Needless indeed lol! As others have said, it's cute and simple and I love the colors you have chosen. Gonna give this a go myself. TFS :)

[@123uschie]

Making some for my sewing friends for Xmas ! TFS!

[@cindyantonsen1378]

Simple is good. Practical. ❤😊

[@sandrahindmarsh3735]

Love the needless book. I'll have to make one for myself. Can never find the needles when I need one. Tfs

[@gypsycowgirlok]

too dang adorable!

[@sallywright5346]

Love this idea. TFS!

[@pennyauld]

Thank you Nik! I was hoping you’d post this video when I saw your needle book in the last video. So cute and way more practical than that dumb tomato! TFS!

[@staceydailey6394]

I love that you use fun words like misnomer. I can't remember the last time i heard that word! Lol. Kids today just don't get into words like when we were kids.

[@lunaspiritbeth]

Lovin the different camera angles, looks like someone is having fun with them

[@Meanne77]

Your video is on point! I just sew myself a couple of pin cushion last week and the needle book was next on the list ;) I meant to sew a couple of felt pages to it but I like your extra place s on the cover as well, I think I'll do a mix of both our ideas :)

[@leaklein498]

Thanks for the great idea, Nik

[@veray1038]

Simply awesome! Thank you for sharing! :)

[@tripletgirl2484]

Needless LOL! Great tutorial. I really like the camera angle, thanks so much!

[@teresitalamas5304]

Great job Nik. Very you. I will try one without the sewing. 🧷🧵

[@Proudmom9091]

You could make button and loop for the closer

[@mariannevandermarel4665]

Thank you for sharing. I made one already. It was superdupereasy. 😉😂😘

[@mpsensha]

Love it! Cool idea and this does make a beautiful little present. Thank you :-D

[@StitchesbySharonH]

Love it!! Sometimes simple is perfect!! 💜

[@brenda-mycraftspot2378]

I really like this! Great tutorial. Tfs........hugs

[@sharonrussell7933]

Oh I love this. Will be making these for quick gifts for friends (with needles). Hey Nik, it is proper to call these etuis? I simply love the word and want to use it to describe them. These are easy and to the point. Get it...….yeah Sharon....I get it. Love ya Missy Nik.

[@teresa-ux8db]

From what I understand, real wool felt is best, as it's supposed to keep the needles sharp! Not sure on the plastic felt.... Always a fun time with you! 💜

[@womensarmycorpsveteran2904]

teresa wool is best because there’s always a bit of lanolin left no matter how much it’s washed. I don’t know about keeping them sharp, but it definitely keeps them from rusting especially if you live in a humid area.

[@SammiJarrad]

Cute! Thank you. 😁💜👍🏻

[@carolyoung3793]

Love it tfs xx

[@tuesdaymoriarty8655]

Love this 💕 Thanks, Nik!

[@barbaraszijarto4003]

Velcro fastner inside covers.

[@calstalk1675]

That’s so cute

[@carole3680]

Poly fibers can wreak havoc on needle sharpness that won’t happen with natural fibers such as wool.

[@oheck5570]

A great place to keep extra stainless steel pins for when you lose the one from your Art Glitter glue. 😂

[@recoveringsoul755]

Magnets to close this, or a sheet of magnetic stuff between the cover and felt, or even on the side of your glue bottle to hold it.

[@fludrbywest3886]

How thoughtful and clever👍🏻💖 Was wondering how would you make a simple finishing press for your personal use?

[@AbiNomac]

As a seamstress I think this is great. A nice lil needless tool 😉

[@joywingert1513]

Hmmm, I wonder if a magnet closure would work, or if all the needles would just jump over to the magnet party?

[@cynthiamostacato7894]

It is simple to make, cute and a great idea! Thanks Nick!.....cyndi m.

[@ellenschwarz4945]

How cute Nic 😍 look amazing 💕

Yay!!! I've been waiting

[@lynnleigha580]

I'm sorry, that was rude.. Thank you for sharing! I'm making mine right this very second.

[@beckyb4074]

You always make me smile when watching your videos and for that I wanted to thank you. What places can you buy the art glitter (without glitter, LOL) glue? Thanks again for giving me joy, I need a lot these days. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@gerryschipper9778]

Maymaymadeit.com is where I get mine. The one time I got it from Amazon but it was too thick...almost set. Think it got affected by the weather. I don’t think MayMay mails during the winter months. I also think I saw it at Michaels.

[@beckyb4074]

@@gerryschipper9778 thanks for the info, I'll check out Michael's for it the next time I get to go shopping. I don't like ordering online if I can help it. Thanks again. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@hilljillymichaels]

Love your videos. Fun chatter like we’re just hangin’ out.

[@cathieh.7225]

How did you stamp the word needles ? and where do you get your felt from? Very nice different take on a needle book!

[@barbaraszijarto4003]

Using an alphabet stamp set.

[@rubyzkid]

I love you, Miss Nomer! Thanks for the needle book. I'm a gonna make it.

[@kayhammock]

You crack me up!!! Needless. 😂😅🤣😂

[@barbnichols5785]
