Instruction

Iron the fusible fleece to the back of the front fabric.
Fold the elastic in half, and pin it to the middle of the right side of the front fabric, with the loop facing inward.
Then lay the back piece of fabric down with the wrong side facing up. Pin all around the edges, leaving a 2” opening. This hole will help you turn it right side out later!
Using a 1/4 seam allowance, start at the right of the opening, and sew all around until you come to the left top of the opening. Make sure to backstitch at the beginning and the end!
Remove any pins, including the one inside that was holding the elastic in place.
Trim the edges of the needle holder, especially the corners! (Do not trim the opening, though.) Cut off the excess elastic cord.
Turn the needle holder inside out. Be gentle while turning! You can rip stitches if you get hasty with it. Once it’s turned right side out, use a bamboo pointer turner to push the corners out so they look nice.
Tuck in the opening so it looks nice and even with the rest of the edges. Then topstitch all around the edges using a 1/8” seam allowance and a little longer stitch.
Place the batting on the inside of the needle holder. Make sure to pin well on both sides – batting tends to move lots when you sew it.
Sew down the middle of the batting, we used a feather stitch but you can use any stitch you would like. Make sure to backstitch at the beginning and end.
Close the book and pull the elastic over to the cover. Mark where the center of the loop is on the cover with a pen. You’ll sew your button on here.
You are finished! We hope you enjoyed making this super cute Needle Holder!
